Three great albums spanning the Hogarth-era of Marillion. The first one with some very catchy tracks and very much a transition from the Fish-era. The second one a classic concept album with the band finding its own new sound. The third one their latest and well-received album full of extended tracks and a contemporary message. Depending on my mood, any of these could get my vote. I'd be interesting in the view of forum members on this one. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

| Brave for sure, though I haven't been not much of a fan of Marillion's music for two last two decades. |

Excuse the auto-correct error on Seasons End in the poll. Thought I'd better mention that before the grammar police get me! 😉 ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Haven't heard F.E.A.R. yet. I like "Brave" and "Seasons End," but voted for Seasons End because of the title track, "Easter" and "Berlin." ------------- PROGMATIC |

A mountain isn't far to fall When you've fallen When you've fallen From the moon Just got my Brave t-shirt from Racket Records in the post today. A snip at £16! An honourable mention for the other two, both of which are superb. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org |

This may be the first time we have agreed on anything! Seasons End is Marillion's best album, with Fish or without him. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I’m surprised F.E.A.R. has only got one vote  I think it’s their strongest album but in years. |

it's got some serious competition in this poll. It is indeed their best album since Marbles.

Agree---I'm into FEAR right now --so voted it---gorgeous album especially the first half---but love most of Hogarth Marillion---Fish era only really love Misplaced when they tried to sound so much like Genesis.

Season's End. Brave has some excellent music, but as an album I always found it too long, too same-y, too boring. F.E.A.R. is a good album, but nothing really new or surprising compared to what they've done before. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Brave > Season's End > Afraid Of Sunlight > Marbles ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Brave is such a snoozefest, Seasons End 100% I got FEAR on vinyl in 2016 and put it in my top-10 of that year, but barely played it since |

Brave is one of my favorite albums  One man's snoozefest is another's masterpiece

Season's End for me. I wouldn't put anything they did above it. I was watching a you tube video last night by a couple of prog fans who do a lot of rankings of prog bands (''Sea Of Tranquility'' or something like that). They compared IQ's Road Of Bones to Brave and said that it was undeniably bleak all the way through and didn't 'cop out' like the end of Brave. I had never thought of that but perhaps that is a weakness of Brave? |

The shaft of light ("Made Again") in the darkness closing on a suspended chord is not only the best part of Brave, but it's also Marillion's greatest moment EVER!!!

thanks! I watched another y/t video by the same pair (top 20 prog albums 1990-2020) and they both waxed lyrical about it with no reservations. I only listen to it occasionally, find it quite difficult to get through, not so much emotionally but I feel there needs to be more going on. Its an uncompromising artistic statement for sure but I need more music. |
