Title: What's with the marbles?
Product review: I stopped buying Marillion after 'Made Again' and gave up on them after the wretched 'Afraid of sunlight'. It doesn't seem that I missed much. Marillion I fear never got over the loss of Fish and with each cd it appears to be the case. Steve H's vocals will either thrill you or irritate you depending on your mood. I have never gotten used to his voice despite repeated listenings. I did like 'Brave' but only because the music was particularly good. 'Marbles' is a strange one, way too many introspective slower tracks and not enough rockers. It's a laid back disc a bit like 'Brave'. The longer tracks: 1 & 11 work better than the whole of the disc. The band puts in a good performance but nothing that requires repeated listenings sorry to say. Sound quality is very good. Full booklet/lyrics/credits plus a video of 'Don't hurt yourself'. 11 tracks/64.11.
