Best Fish studio album ?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   What do you think of Fish's solo stuff in general.
For me, Vigil was an excellent start to his solo career and should have really been a benchmark of what was to follow.  Unfortunately the very Scottish sounding Internal Exile, the dreadful Songs from the Mirror cover album and Suits saw his career nosedive.
But Sunsets on Empire showed a return to form - exciting, dynamic songs.  Raingods followed which contained some proggy masterpieces such as Plague of Ghosts.  Fellini Days was in the same vein and Crows showed the big fella in great form.
It's been a hard choice but I'll think I'll choose Sunsets on Empire as it really brought Fish to the fore again - not his most progressive recording but nevertheless it's a damn fine record !

	Sunsets on Empire was my choice. Next Internal Exile, next Vigil...and I stopped there with Fish.
