AN HOUR BEFORE IT'S DARK

I haven't heard anything new from Marillion in quite some time. I didn't know that they had released a new album this year and I wanted to know the current sound of the band. I've been tremendously disappointed when listening to this work that has nothing to do with the last album I heard from them: Marbles (although it had its faults, I thought it was an interesting work). An album without cohesion, with songs that never manage to develop. Steve Hogarth's voice that sounds deep but without any interesting vocal lines. the melodies and guitar solos that are within the reach of any average blues guitarist. Just a bunch of songs that show how little inspiration they had when creating this.
