God Hogarth

 Just start listening to "Bridge" and "Living With The Big Lie" to realize that it is a masterpiece album in every aspect.

 "Brave"... the ultimate absolute degree, perhaps unattainable, in Marillion’s career.

Marillion's Brave is hailed as a perfect progressive rock album marking the band's return to their core identity. Inspired by a mysterious radio story, Steve Hogarth and the band created a dark, emotional, and intricately arranged concept record. The album showcases superb vocals, rich arrangements, and a blend of rock and ethnic atmospheres. Boldly produced with minimal label interference, Brave also features a companion short film that deepens its narrative. Widely regarded as a landmark prog album, it cemented Marillion's artistic legacy. Explore Marillion's Brave and experience one of prog rock's most perfect and immersive concept albums today!

 The result is understandably disheartening, many keyboard pieces by Mark Kelly are cut by the producer, the guitar solos are shortened and reduced to the bone.

 Just like other tracks, for example This Town, Holidays in Eden or No One Can (the latter really depressing).

Holidays In Eden is Marillion's 1991 album produced under heavy label pressure to create radio-friendly singles, resulting in a compromised sound. Despite some strong tracks like 'Cover My Eyes' and 'Dry Land,' the album suffers from rushed production and significant cuts to the band's artistic vision. The change in producer led to a more commercial but less inspired record. Fans remained loyal, knowing better work would follow. Discover the story behind Marillion's challenging but memorable album Holidays In Eden—listen and decide for yourself!

 "Season's End is not Marillion's best album, it is not a point of arrival. It is a second genesis.",

 "Steve Hogarth made even the most steadfast 'Fish heads' reconsider that one can and should look forward."

Season's End is a pivotal album for Marillion, marking the departure of original singer Fish and the arrival of Steve Hogarth. The album balances prog rock heritage with a fresh, accessible sound. Highlight tracks like "Easter" and "Berlyn" demonstrate the band's evolving style. Although not their best work, it signals a promising new beginning for Marillion. Explore Marillion's Season's End and witness a bold new chapter in progressive rock history.
