THE REVIEW
Somewhere Else, year 2007, I am finally free and this time I am not missing out!
I don't call anyone, no baggage this time, it's a moment just for me.
I start up the Cinquecento Abarth and rush to Milan, twenty euros for the ticket, Hogarth passes by us, he's one of us.
What a night, it starts with Splintering Heart and ends with Neverland, in between a brand-new album, fantastic.
I buy the record and leave happy, sleep is a distant memory, I take the A7 to go see the sea,
the plain runs alongside me with the sleeping factories under the bright signs, the lights of the villages in the distance, Marillion in the background, I drive slowly.
The album is beautiful, one of those that you love right away, it merges with the night and thoughts.
Three years after Marbles you could expect a bit of everything but the ideas are many, almost endless, so in the end it will pass semi unnoticed, too tight between a masterpiece and a double album on which they will bet a lot, Happiness Is The Road.
After spending that night so suggestive, I too ended up ideally putting it away in a drawer, without an apparent reason, and so last night, thanks to the temperature of this absurd November I thought of waking up and ideally retracing that journey of about ten years ago.
I must say that upon listening to it again, I found it even more beautiful than I remembered and even though things have changed a lot for me and I no longer have the Cinquecento, Somewhere Else still remains an album capable of giving wonderful sensations.
Whoever is a fan of Marillion will know it, but perhaps anyone who dreams, or has dreamed, of escaping Elsewhere at least once in their lifetime will love it too.

By MATT
Marillion has no intention of resting on their laurels but always seeks new paths, even if it means disappointing some of their fans.
Most of the tracks are very beautiful, and it matters little if they don’t always match the band’s previous standards; what truly matters is the ability of Marillion to always move with their music.
