 Topic: Script For A jesters Tear's worst song ?

I've always liked Garden Party for some reason. Chelsea Monday or He Knows You Know for me.
I'll go for Chelsea Monday.

Actually, I find all tracks not delivering their whole potential of energy due to the poor drumming. Having said that, it is a great neo-prog album, vital for the finalization the genre's maturity. My least fave track is 'Garden Party' because that is where the rhythm section sounds most flawed. Nothing wrong with 'Chealsea Monday': this studio version states a sense of drama that is not equalled by any live rendition (though the energy is surpassed, of course - Trewavas is forced to sound like a busy bass player matcehd with Pointer, he only gets to show his stamina and inventiveness when paired with the masterful Mosley).
Kind regards.

None of them is bad, or even mediocrite, my least favourite is probably Garden Party.

At a push 'He knows you know' but overall Script is one of those albums without a single bad track.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

well since you asked  its a toss up between Chelsea Monday and Garden Party for me but I think I`m swaying towards Chelsea Monday , for some reason that songs never grabbed me I like the Steve Rothery guitar solo and Fish's lyrics are very clever but it seems to plod along and lacks energy.

Im listening to the album for the second time and got one question... can fish shut up please hes realy anoying on this album, so far i dont see what the fuzz is about this album its realy boring... and fish tryes way to hard, i allso got Clutching at straws and so far only heard it once but liked it right away on first listen, same with misplaced child hood. but this one script for a jesters tear is way to over dramatic in a bad way for me, or something i dont knów realy maybe i need more time with this one...

They're all excellent but Garden Party is the very best; the p**s take of posh Cambridge undergrads (and I used to be one!) is SO funny. If you didn't go to Cambridge, it won't resonate with you like it does with me.

Garden Party and Chelsea Monday have the most slips. Can't stand the faux-Cockney accent banter. Garden Party is a bit less impressive, so picking that.

mm, I listened to it yesterday at volume MAX. It was a great listen.
Though, Forgotten Sons and Chelsea Monday have some, respectively, messed stuff and lacking greatness stuff.
I must admit Forgotten Sons, was the song that payed my attention with that GREAT riff, but the song itself seems somewhat, directionless.

Is there any way to select more than one song? Sorry, just kidding. I really don't like Marillion, not even a little bit, but this album is very important, I must admit it  I'll choose He knows you know as the worst, don't like the voice of fish here...

Garden Party, but its the difference between Astounding and meerly great.
Minnitt didnt do any writting did he? I thought it was always Fish.

When I first listen to the album my favourite song was Garden Party, but now it just sems like the less good song from the album.
But really the album is so great and flawless that I can't point any bad moment or song

No No NO not a negative poll because I think this is a great album and a very important one for prog , I was listening to it tonight and one song didn't grab me as much as all the others did .
