Today is Script's birthday!!!It's 23 already!!!
Script is brilliant - flawless work,my favouritest album FOREVER!!! Childhood have three stunning epics,but the songs(except for Pseudo Silk Kimono and Lavender) are a bit usual...just ordinary good Marillion,4/5.Surely,the atmosphere is awesome,but Scrit's one is great too! |

Script, hands down. It is altogether better. Plus, the special edition comes with Grindle (who can deny that?) ------------- if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice |

Script is pure neo prog ! I prefer Misplaced Childhood, where the band starts to look for something more sophisticated to his sound... |

both are good, I voted for Misplaced Childhood because they are both two of my most listened to albums. But if I had to choose I might go for Script because of the pompous keyboards, and the guitar part in "The Web" is great. Both have excellent but very different lyrics, so it depends on my mood which I think is better. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I agree that the guitar part in The Web is awesome! Marillion are probably my favourite band and while the merits of Misplaced Childhood have been discussed for years, in this instance I have to vote for Script. It's a better overall album. There are sections of Misplaced Childhood that are stunning but Script doesn't have a weak moment. |

It's hard to compare these two albums cause both are great. But if I HAVE TO choose, I will go for SCRIPT because of following reasons: 1. Script was the hero of prog when at the time (1983) all great bands like Genesis, Yes, etc went pop and only new band MARILLION stood out tall with their "So here I am once more! In a playground of a brokenheart .. One more experience one more entry in a diary self penned! Yeatanother emotional suicide ..." Oh .... what a memorable lyrics man! Can u imagine how happy I was at the time? After a long period of waiting great prog album to come out, new band took the market by the storm ...!!! Marillion rules!!!!! 2. The best ... yeah .. the best Marilion song todate is FORGOTTEN SONS!!!! Yeah .... "Peace on earth and mercy mild. Mother Brown has lost her child ...just another forgotten sons!!!!" Keep Marillioning ... keep on proggin' ....!!! Gatot

Thank you Gatot I always thought you have something special to say about Marillion...and these lyrics under your reviews seemed to be so well-known to me...  ...they're from Incommunicado?..No,wait...maybe,that's H era?...no it MUST be something from Script-era...Maybe,Charting the Single?..

misplaced childhood was my first introduction to marillion. it blew me away instantly the first time i listen to it.
but when i had the chance to spin script, i learnt that, as a debut, in a time when prog was nowhere to be seen or heard, script successfully set the bar for what is now neo-prog. it's intricate, complex, and yet captivating. it's a package of irresistible set of songs -- the title track, he knows you know, garden party, and (above all) forgotten sons. i'll go for script.

Script. Ibought it on vinyl when it was first released. It's still my favourite Marillion album AND I still don't see why so many people make such a fuss about MC. It's a good album, but certainly not the classic that many fans consider it to be IMHO. ------------- They who know do not speak! They who talk do not know! |

I voted for "Script" because each song is great. "Misplaced" has a great story but is musically a little weaker IMO.

I know Marillion I've been a big fan since "script" first come out back in 83. Now the thing is both these Cd`s in question are great but the deciding factor for Misplaced Childhood having the edge lies in Mosley being the drummer ... and Misplaced Childhood seems a more consistent album overall . Basically anybody who says Script is better isn`t hearing what I hear when I play these albums. Misplaced is superior in every way including its production ------------- |

I like Misplaced because it follows on each side with the Side A and B suites, however Script is great because of it's got 6 great tracks. I can't really choose but i'll have to go for Misplaced -------------

Script wins this easily. It is my second favourite Fish-era album, after Clutching At Straws. Misplaced Childhood is good, but slightly overrated. |

 It's always funny when we get someone 'stating a fact' instead of an opinion.I too, know Marillion, having been a big fan since Script came out.
And I obviously hear things differently. Script has superior songs. And a better atmosphere.
(Now I am stating facts!)
Of course, this is really all personal opinion, as it should be.

| This is difficult, but i'd have to go with misplaced childhood, perhaps because I'm more familiar with it, but I have script as well and I think I like misplaced slightly more. |

Marillion made a big improvement to their musicality the moment Fugazi came out with Ian Mosley behind the kit even Rothery started sounding more professional the whole band just sounded more professional ... Mick pointer was an acceptable drummer on Script that said Fish has been quoted in saying" Mick Pointer was an amature who got lucky" what I consider as "better" always involves some musical theory in the decision and some artististic merit both need to join someplace in the middle, unfortunately script fell short in many ways , that said Script did have atmosphere and in many ways looking back I see it as Fish`s first solo album not so much a Marillion album. When I was a teenager I got into "Script" later on I discovered Peter Gabriel's Genesis and I had a few questions ? (could my beloved Marillion be only a CLONE ? .... SHOCK assassing !!!!) .. it wasn`t till Fugazi that Marillion were strong enough to stand up alone without the Genesis clone tag (in my book) and become an "A" grade example of Prog because their musicality had grown so much they just couldn`t be denied anymore over a small clone issue ... before then they were kind amaturish as Fish indicated. Just watch recital of the script then watch LIVE FROM LORELEY you will see what I`m saying is true ! Loreley really is a great concert and that's not by accident its because Marillion had found what was theirs by that stage they had their sound perfected they even had their stage presence and image worked out better  Back in the "script" days Marillion (not Fish he's always been a great performer) looked uncomfortable performing live. All the stuff I have said culminates into some very good reasons why Misplaced Childhood is infact a better Album than Script even if Script has got some wonderful songs on it I must confess the song "Script For a Jesters Tear" is amongst Marillion's finest ever ! and Forgotten sons is one of the best (political) prog songs around though Fish maintains its not political "Minister Minister care for your children ! " I`m often amused with some peoples "opinions" around here in fact I find it a little bit scary ------------- |

Ok, don't jump down my throat anyone...... but I am seeing some rough divides here and it's interesting......
(these rules are NOT hard and fast...ok?) There are two rough divisions,
It seems generally speaking that if you were there once more in the playground of the empty hearts way beack in '83 then Script is your winner, and if you have been hearing them since, then MC is more likely the winner. There is a rough divide also between those who sense music in a 'scientific' or 'mathematical' way .V. those of you who feel the emotional values, the anguish more than the missing cymbal or bass note....... But lets face it, if you are in your late thirties/40-ish now you were a teen when it was released (SCRIPT)...... mind boggling! It was a good time to be a teen!(i know , I was there!) But slightly older/younger and you would've reacted quite differently to the lyrical values, to the passion.... For those of you who say this album is musically complex...... POPPYCOCK! What it does however, is tug at and give recognition to a whole heap angst and turmoil within ourselves, but that is mainly in the vocal (either lyric OR vocal style) It's not a complex album, but it is a SPECIAL album! I really enjoy BOTH albums, I saw Fish do MC twice on that tour, and I am really looking forward to Script (tomorrow!) Script is definitely the winner for me though!

I was 16 years and 7 months old when I bought Script on August,1,2003. I suffered from an unmutual love. I wrote my own songs (and still do) and love GENESIS(and still do ). Script is my favourite album of all time(and still does!!!).MC is very good and almost excellent in its dark atmosphere(Berlin Wall and etc...)

| Definitely Misplaced Childhood for me. Both are indisputably great albums, but Misplaced Childhood is far more polished to my ears and there's by now a clear identity of their own- even more so on 'Clutching At Straws', my personal favourite. |
