moi aussi...this was hard...season's end is a good album also,easter
especially make me warm inside...and to be honest Script Of A Jester
Tear is not THE greatest...actually as it was the first Marillion album
I listened it almost made me not go further in discovering
Marillion...but in a comparison between these albums...it goes as
first...

Script, even though Season's End gets my vote for best Hogarth era album

Script of course, though I LOVE Berlin, Easter and The Space.... ------------- 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 |

I went with SEASON'S END. H, in my opinion, is vocally stronger. ------------- Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced... |

Script, no question. I am a huge Fish-head (heh, that just gave me a slighlty amusing mental picture). Actually, I have a real bias against Season's End. I noticed it when our local record shop first stocked it upon release, and bought it immediately, as I had recently gotten into Marillion and had become a huge fan. "A new album by my new favorite band!! Awesome!", I thought as I ran home with it (I lived within walking distance from the shop so I DID literally run home). Now, this was back in '89, so I had no internet access, and Marillion were not covered at all by the music press in the US, so I had no clue as to the line-up change within the band. I eagerly pressed play and started jamming to the first song. All of a sudden, some other dude starts singing and I was stunned. I opened the cassette insert and read the musician line-up: no Fish?!!?, just some Hogarth character. I was so devistated that I pressed stop and didn't listen to the album for about a week. Years later, I guess Hogarth is an okay vocalist, and I actually like some of the albums he's on. But I'll always have a bias, from when I felt "tricked" 16 years ago. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">

I haven't heard the entire Season's end, but the Fish era owns Hogarth era all the way ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |
