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 .

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

Garden Party - heck, you can hear that Diz Minnitt wrote it - others are great and in similar vein ------------- yet you still have time! |

Garden Party, but its the difference between Astounding and meerly great. Minnitt didnt do any writting did he? I thought it was always Fish. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

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... ------------- This is not my beautiful house... |

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. |

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. |

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.

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... -------------

| Not heard this for a while, but recall that Chelsea Monday was my least favourite. Yorkie, which was your least preferred? Or are you keeping it under your hat? |

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. |

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

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

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.

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