I'm going to have to give these a honest chance I suppose. I tried brave once and wasn't into it but as someone else said here, perhaps it will be a grower after several listens.

Stick with it. It is an extremely complex suite of music, with emotions at peak. Patience has its reward with Brave.

Locked in as is the most of the World, I listened to both albums one after the other tonight.
And my conclusion is that Brave is not quite as good as I remember it and Subterranea is even better than I thought, which I find hard to believe. The Narrow Margin is one of the best things in all prog.

I haven't listened to Subterranea in a very long time, usually when I'm in the mood for IQ I listen to other albums - debut, Ever, Dark Matter, even Frequency got more listens. I am gonna try and give it a listen today.

It took me a very long time to appreciate Subby. Up to that point, I only knew (and loved) the Menel albums, was there the night the band split at The Marquee. When I got Subterranea I found it very difficult to get into, didn't like the new singer's voice at all! But "persistence, paid off in the endddd" and it's one of my favourite IQ albums. So many highlights, but the end section of Sleepless Incidental, and the whole of The Narrow Margin are probably my favourites. Hope you've enjoyed it today: if not, listen again...and again...and again....

I got no problem getting into it, I don't find it challenging, it is enjoyable, great songwriting and atmosphere. It's definitely a good album.

EBIW...Aye, the instrumental ending of Sleepless is one of those music moments that is so visceral it raises your heart beat in the plateu phase of a karmic orgasm....

Brave, one of the best Marillion albums (against one average IQ album).

I've always loved Seasons End , seemed a very important break from the usual seventies influenced stuff. But I remember getting very bored with their 90's stuff and had moved onto a lot more interesting stuff that was coming out in that decade. However I do have a massive soft spot for Hogarth and the recent albums have been more of what I like to hear from them.

Brave floored me since it hit the shelves way back when. Still love it, but I prefer I.Q..
Subterranea being a massive 100 minutes of concentrated effort. Been a long time since I listened to either.....need to change that. |
