2 stars Where do i begin? this is the worst prog album i have so far heard. The bigest dissapointment i have hade, im not gona say the dreaded word but thats what i think of. I know one shuld not rewive an album when he have only heard it a few times but i dont think i every wana try to listen to this one again. The funny thing is a i like Misplaced child hood and Clutching at straws they are both far from being any big favorites but they are ok album but to be honest not very prog IMO more pop, people say that Marillion where inspired by Gabriel era Genesis i whuld say that Duke era Genesis was the big inspieration caus the only thing Fish sings about is what a sorry person he is and hes love problems yust like collins on Duke and speaking of fish hes the big problem for me on this album hes yust so anoying i cant stand him i yust wana tell him to shut up so i can hear the music he sings in the most anoying of ways, to be honest i cant remeber much of the music and what i do remeber was realy boring and unmemorable the only thing i can remeber is Fish horrible voice. this will be my first 1 star rewive marillion was my first neo prog band and to be honest probably my last it shuld be called prog pop or yust pop becaus i dont hear much prog in neo prog, my least favorite prog genre no doubt, the problem with bands like marillion is they yust sound like tribute bands caus there is no adventure or ground breaking this has all been done before much much beter IMO.
