RADIATION

As a fan of Marillion since the early 80's I'm not really sure how to rate this album. (yes I still call them albums). I was warned when it came out that it was not worth the time to take it to the register let alone the money to buy it. Needless to say I passed on the purchase and stoicly waited for the next release, which,as we all know, could have been years. What a dreadful mistake! How I wish I hadn't listened to those insane prog purists. A rather dramatic departure from the accustomed Marrilion fare,more rock than progressive, Radiation may not be a masterpiece but it's still an excellent album. As a musician, this album is very easy to appreciate. Anyway....a lesson learned...music is so personal I now take the time to listen myself instead of letting others make up my mind for me...so listen away my friends...listen away...
