MARBLES

After hearing about Marillion on the official Dream Theater forum, I thought I would give them a go and got a copy of the 2CD version of Marbles. I must say that I was blown away by the music and just loved every minute of the album. I must have listened to it at least 5 times in the first 2 weeks of getting it.

I only knew of some of the history of Marillion before I listened so I came with a pretty open mind. I really like Hogarth's vocals despite what alot of people are saying on here. I have listened to Clutching At Straws since Marbles, and Fish's voice did not grab me near as much as Hogarths did, and neither did the music.

Getting back to the album, I find it hard to find a song I dislike, let alone music I don't like. At times some more work could have been taken in the lyrics, but overall they are great. I am looking forward to getting into the Marillion archives and listening to all their music.
