Let's be real here. This work is non-essential.

I can imagine that many Marillion fans welcome this new record. I guess when you are a fan, you are happy with every quality output coming from them.

But I look at it in a different way. So here is my personal opinion. As a prog fan, I love work that pushes the envelope or surprises me in a positive way. I don't get it here. Nothing on the album feels new or fresh. I feel I heard it all before. Often better. The songs are rather straightforward. Hardly any ebbs and flows. And, quite frankly, I'm not impressed by Hogarth's voice at all.

It is so boring, it annoys me. I rate it fans-only material. 2 stars.
