How do these two match up? I didnīt include Childhood and Script because most will vote for them.
Of these two I vote for Fugazi. In fact I think itīs the best Marillion album of all of them!

| Fugazi - my favourite album of theirs. Clutching at Straws is also very good, though. |

Difficult choice; both albums are so damn good. I like Straws a little bit more (fuller sound, improved production and songwriting). But Fugazi is cool too.

Dunno...Straws is more consistent...but doesn't have the line:
STAND STRAIGHT! LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND SAY GOODBYE!

Straws is more consistent... but it doesn't have the line: Where are the prophets? Where are the visionaries? Where are the poets? To breach the dawn of the sentimental mercenary. Saying that... I still go with Straws... the opening trilogy alone is phenomenal.  -------------

"I am the producer of your nightmare and the performance has just begun!"
Fugazi is kind of wilder of the two: lyrically bold and challenging; also musically raw, unpredictable in a good way. So I vote for it, even though Clutching is also a stunning album, but a bit too "professional" in every way, compared to untamed Fugazi. These days I rate Fugazi as the 2nd best Marillion album of all time, second only to Misplaced Childhood, which will always remain my first love. ------------- "Make tea, not love" |
