This album leaves me with strange feelings. It is not really bad ("Chelsea Monday" , "Garden Party" and "Script for a jester tear" stand out). But it is lost in the wrong time and maybe should not be labeled Neoprog, but post-Prog and so, after more than twenty years it doesn't even carry any feeling compared to the Genesis' effort "Selling". The eighties were just no decade for prog, but for pop and sadly the spirit of the seventies concerning prog could not be reanimated with this album. It it was a futile attempt. The Peter Gabriel era of Genesis was better than anything that could be achieved be Marillion in the eighties. Listenable music, but one should stick with the real thing.
