MADE AGAIN

I remember when I bought this album in 1996 at Best Buy...back when they still carried Marillion & other imported artists. I love "brave", one of the essential concept albums of the last 20 years, and hearing it live (never having the opportunity to see Marillion in concert...I was living in Nebraska) was a wonderful experience. Made Again is a great live album, and will give new fans a good taste of Marillion concerts...and their repetoire!

My only dislike is that more Seasons End material was not present: like Holloway Girl and Berlin. But Splintering Heart, The Space, Hooks in You, and Easter still give me goosebumps when I listen to this album.

I love the Hogath-era best, and recently have the pleasure of finally seeing Marillion live on the Marbles tour. What I love about Marillion the most is that they NEVER release the same album twice. Prog-fans, know-it-alls, purists and all...they can cut down and criticize Marillion and Neo-Prog all they want. I repect Fish and the albums they put out...but Fish decided to leave on his own: that was 15 years ago. Hogath has more than proven himself! If Fish-era fans (just like Gabriel-era Genesis fans) hate the "new guy" and the new sound so much...move along: just like Fish did!
