[@Katehowe3010]

Straightforward question from a Marillion fan, who has yet to purchase the new album! Could someone give me an unbiased opinion on how good or otherwise it really is? I wasn't a big fan of 'F.E.A.R', and found 'Murder Machines strangely lacking, so does it reach the dizzy heights of 'Marbles', or is it merely another average effort? Your honesty would be much appreciated!

[@Aidan.G]

Superb!! 👌👌 I discovered this band in '85 and I've been with them all the way to 2022... Long live Marillion!!!

First concert 1984 ;-) So I think we feel the same about this group. Marillion is simly marilliant :-)

[@terrifortain]

How lucky I was to discover by chance Marillion in '85 also, during my military national service in Germany. I never felt such a emotion so deeply until today.. Marillion's music is a jewel in my heart forever and the rest of my life.

[@jpdunphy1]

The thing about Marillion, which cannot be said for every band that has been in my life so long (31 years and counting) is that I have always felt I was part of their family, and they are all brothers who genuinely love each other. And, this has always been and continues to be reflected in their music and words. Wonderful.

[@lottaalgotsson1925]

Not often I cry the first time I hear a song, but you've got this one spot on. These two years, we've been so afraid to show the people we love that we actually do, and there has been such a shortage of hugs, so many people that have gone without physical contact för far too long. And so much anxiety that one might have, unintentionally, have spread this horrible virus to someone vulnersble.

[@Sozbear]

Beautifully put Lotta.

[@agr7879]

Loving the fact that Hogarth's voice seems to be defying age, unlike so many of his contemporaries. Marillion is a rock in our lives, over 20 years without a line-up change & given how the world is treating us these days we all need rocks to hold on to. Thanks, guys.

[@robinmaxwell2111]

I lost my sister this year - this song is tearing me apart. Genius

[@DaveDaveTor]

[@mikescriber1777]

Another album that I am going to have to purchase. Great song. I had sort of given up hope on Marillion when Fish left the band. As good as he was Hogarth puts so much more emotion into his songs. To the effect that if you don’t quite get the lyrics, his emotion clarifies what he is trying to get across. Marillion is quickly climbing up my favourite band of all time. Thanks for this

[@rossjones7979]

Great comment and so true!

[@alcibiaderesnick2765]

[@clausrichter4196]

Just had the same ideas...though in German :-) ...doesn´t matter. Had the chance to see Marillion playing a concert in Birmingham (Aston) in 1989 when Steve H turned up on stage and it didn´t take a minute to feel and see ...that he was the right guy to follow Fish

Nearly time! Can’t wait!! Best Band in the World!!

[@ryancarlo9328]

I think the instrumental is pretty good, particularly another top notch guitar piece from Rothery, with the rhythm section of Ian and Pete delivering as always. You can tell Hogarth has put his heart into his writing and singing for this album, as he always does. I think the way that he takes everyday topics and makes them sound beautiful is always inspiring. Overall, a very good song and I’m even more excited for the album than I already was. Love your work lads!

The whole album "An Hour Before It's Dark" is a true modern Master-Piece (yet again, as FEAR was also one!). Thank you so much Steve, Steve, Peter, Mark and Ian. The choir adds something sublime and Rothery's guitar tone and phrases are fantastic... It's pure Marillion territory and still after each album you keep evolving. Thank you for the great music!

How is it that when the times become more challenging and sinister the music gets better and better? Thank you so much Marillion for putting on the light in these days. So glad you guys stuck with us all these years and never gave in to cynicism. In a sense true to the writer of the SIlmarillion who had seen the worst mankind can do and went on to give us the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

[@jamesdawes3987]

Now that's more like it! An actual Marillion single - poignant and catchy. Can't wait for the album!

[@ghusthaav1988]

J'écoute Marillion depuis maintenant 35 ans. Et la, une fois de plus. Le groupe vieillit comme du bon vin dans un fut en chêne nous distille un morceau dont la composition musicale respire une grandeur émotionnelle d'une puissance qui me touche au plus profond de ma sensibilité d'écoute. Marillion n'a jamais cessé de me surprendre au fil du temps. Merci pour votre implication à émouvoir vos fans de la première heure dont je suis infiniment ravi d'en faire partie. A tous ceux qui liront ce commentaire. Je tiens à faire partager une expérience personnelle. J'ai vu le groupe se produire en 1998 à Nice. A un moment donné, Steve Hogarth s'adresse au public nous disant en ces termes : we are not lestened to the radio aren't we ? ( on ne passe pas à la radio n'est ce pas ?) Puis il enchaîne par : so why are you there ? ( alors qu'est ce que vous foutez la ? ). Whoaaah c'est la une autoderision ponctuée d'un humour cinglant démontrant la volonté du groupe à exercer son art en passant sous les radars de la du système médiatique et commercial. Chapeau bas Steve Hogarth !

[@Serbagavi4064]

Très beau commentaire et 100% d'accord...je les écoute également depuis 1987 et Clutching at straws...comme si c'était hier...et Steve Hogarth est arrivé, une sensibilité à fleur de peau et un vocaliste hors-norme...hâte de les revoir cet automne :-)

[@ghusthaav1988]

@@Serbagavi4064 Merci pour votre réponse très sympathique. Cela fait plaisir. Ils reviennent cet automne dites vous ? Mais peut être pas dans le Sud Est j'en ai peur. A suivre toutefois. Merci encore. J'ajoute également que je partage entièrement votre avis. La période Fish quant à elle fut courte part rapport à la période Steve Hogarth mais quels albums il nous a laissé. Certes l'album Clutching at Straws est fabuleux. Cependant je trouve que l'album concept : Misplaced Childhood est d'une puissance. Il est même considéré par certains critiques du Rock Progressif comme étant le meilleur album de la décennie des années 1980 comme étant le meilleur tout albums tout styles confondus. Même que d'après une source non vérifiée, Fish aurait eut l'idée de concevoir l'album suite à un trip au LSD qui aurait duré 10 heures. (Source Wikipedia)

[@Serbagavi4064]

@@ghusthaav1988 J'ai la chance de pouvoir enchaîner Bordeaux et Nantes fin octobre ! Pour le sud-est, je ne sais pas, il faudrait regarder le calendrier de leurs concerts.. Misplaced childhood est un grand classique c'est vrai, je l'écoutais en boucle sur mon walk-man dans le RER en allant à la fac à Paris (avec Fugazi aussi) :-)) Que de souvenirs ! De toutes façons, Fiche et SH sont incomparables car très différents. Ils représentent 2 époques du groupe, et c'est très bien comme ça :-) Et sans oublier Steve Rothery qui est un des guitaristes avec le plus de sensibilité que je connaisse, un régal !

[@normansgarden6271]

This band is sooooo vastly underrated. The musicianship of all the members is just outstanding. I saw them when they first performed with H at the Park West in Chicago...many, many, many years ago...performing Holidays in Eden. Was very fortunate to see them again a number of years ago at a super small venue (Arcadia Theatre) in St. Charles, IL. Wish they would come to the Chicago area more often. Can't wait for this CD to come out. It sounds like it will be another good one.
