AN HOUR BEFORE IT'S DARK

There was always something about Marillion that kept me from being more than an infrequent fan. This is something different. There's nothing in the melodies, instruments, mix or anything else to turn me off. It's just good. Really good.

I passed it on to my best music friend and even on first listen, he made some points that I agree with fully: 1) "This is an early contender for album of the year", 2) "I was able to enjoy this as new music, completely out of the context of the band I knew" (Big Fish era fan in the day).

Awesome vocals, great compositions, great instrumentation, great, catchy melodies, no cheese. It's also got a vibe. A dark vibe, without being overly melancholic. It's just right, and with the world where it is at the moment, we need more "just right".
