Probably h's best so far..., January 12, 2004

By	Rodrigo Llamozas (the last cubicle at the end of the hall...) - See all my reviews

This is, in my opinion, the best Marillion album to include h (Steve Hogarth) on vocals. It's also one of their most consistent albums in the sense that only 'Beyond you' could be labeled as sub-par in comparison with the rest of the tracks.

Most of the tracks are *monster* pieces, some of the very best the band has penned so far, including 'Gazpacho', 'Beautiful' (the feel good, slow-ish track of the album), 'Afraid of sunlight' and 'King'. I believe that in no other tracks have h's lyrics and the lads' music merged so well as in the above list.

Completing the album is 'Cannibal surf babe' (the *required* weird track) and 'Afraid of sunrise', both of which are also quite, quite good.

As for the second CD, it contains mostly demos and outtakes, as well as 'Icon' and 'Live forever', two b-sides from the album's singles. There's also a different version of 'Beautiful' (with it's working title 'Second chance').

Out of this world, September 16, 2004

By	Dynamo (The Hague, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

Both EMI and Marillion were still reeling from the relative commercial disappointment of the "Brave" album. They thought it was a masterpiece (and right they were), but just couldn't understand how the world hadn't noticed. Racked by self-doubt and emotional turmoil, Marillion started recording "Afraid Of Sunlight". As Steve Hogarth says: 'There never has been an initial "vision", or a master plan ..Like the others, "Afraid Of Sunlight" was another product of flailing around in the darkness. I think it's the best record we've made'. This quote says it all.
On 24 bits it sounds great. Best songs are: Afraid Of Sunlight, Beyond You, King, Out Of This World and Beautiful. The bonus disc, however, is an interesing collectors item but does not add anything special.
