I gave it some love in my initial post.   I can do without the title track and "No One Can" but otherwise that is a classic Marillion album, IMO. If you do not have the Somewhere In London dvd, it is a must-have, and begins with a stunning version of "Splintering Heart". @lazland: I'll check out that "Marillion Round Table" discussion, thanks!

Hard poll, as I have always said that I can barely tear apart Brave & Marbles. both of these albums are, IMHO, incredible pieces of genius written by a great band at the peak of their powers. They are both very strong 5 star by PA ratings for me, but if I really had to choose, it would be Marbles, although I'd be hard pressed to say why to be honest. Probably because of the sheer strength & beauty of the bookends, Invisible Man & Neverland.
Afraid of Sunlight & Seasons End are also incredibly strong albums, and I would also refer fans or potential fans to classics such as This Strange Engine, which is an incredibly strong album on their indy label debut, and Radiation, which for some strange reason passes a lot of people by. The last "proper" studio album, Happiness is the Road also contains some extremely strong moments, especially the modern classic Real Tears For Sale. We also, BTW, have a Marillion Round Table on Prog Bands, Artists, and Genres Appreciation. |

Seasons End is by far my favourite Marillion album regardless of era. |

finally I see some love for Holidays in Eden.
 I can't choose from the list really; you've put there the 4 most appreciated and respected Hogarth era albums. Edited by Cristi - September 08 2010 at 09:10 |

Yes, all four are certainly good. I vote Marbles as my favourite, however overall I think Brave is the best work the band have done, but it falls down a bit sonically.

All four VERY VERY close together, but if I were forced to choose it would be:
Marbles > Afraid of sunlight > Brave > Seasons End

Brave! One of my overall favourite Marillion-albums.
Holidays in Eden, not mentioned here, also has some strong moments.

Not my favourites by Marillion (yes, I'm rather Fish-only snob
 ), but I'll go with Seasons End and Brave.

Brave for me (I listened to it just yesterday and it's really great one), but Marbles are close and the two others are also very good. Hard choice but it has to be done :-)

From the list I only have Brave and Marbles... Brave is a 5-star album IMO, but Marbles still hasn't caught on. I won't vote, though, since I haven't heard the other two options.

Afraid of Sunlight for me, a sublime album I never get tired of listening to. All very good albums, but I find Brave overrated:) Thanks Progatron for the "Fish-only snobs" comment!!! It's about time Hogarth is recognized by this site as the far superior singer!!

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!
