BATTLEMENT

Sometimes copying can sound inspired! I knocked Marillion for lifting direct parts from Genesis on Script for a Jester's tear, but this album sounds literally like a lost Genesis album. I give it 4 stars for the stunning perfect mimicry of their entire vibe, down to the Gabriel-esque singer. Lots of flute as well. Some may disagree, but listening to it, the effect is overwhelming: you literally feel as if you have found their lost album between Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound. The instruments obviously don't sound exactly like Hackett and Collins' unique sounds, but tied all together, chiming 12 string passages, synthesizers sounding like A Trick of the Tail, man. Very, very good.
