Customer Reviews
WHERE IS DAVE MEEGAN??????
I had a feeling that this would happen again!!!!
Mike Hunter is totally unqualified to produce anybody's music.
It sounds as if he just threw parts of jam sessions together and attempted to make complete songs out of them.
It sounds so sloppy!!!!
I love Marillion, but they need to wake up and realize that Mike Hunter is ruining their career.
Bring back Dave Meegan...we'd like something close to the greatness of "Brave" or "Marbles"!!!!!!!
This people are lost
As a very long-time Marillion "fan" and follower, I am really sad. There is nothing in this record but boring and stupid noises that someone may call music. I will remember forever Misplaced Chilhood, Sugar Mice, Season's Ends, Beautiful, even Marbles. I will keep that memories for the future and I will forget the emptyness of the last two records from the band once called Marillion. They are not the so-called musicians of this record. Marillion is now only in my past. Keep away from this or you will find yourselves crying for the lost past times.
Oh So Bland...
Maybe a couple of years listening to heavier rock or symphonic metal have dulled my reception of the contemporary Marillion sound but with the exception of the last couple of tracks I just found the whole thing meandered around with no real direction or fresh ideas.
There's really nothing here to compete with the brilliance of the songs on "Afraid of Sunlight", "Brave" or the opening and closing tracks from "Marbles". No stand out guitar solos or soaring instrumentals. Marillion seem to have reduced themselves to playing the sort of coffee shop style that wouldn't sound out of place as background musak in Borders or similar.
The only consolation is that Volume 2 is, if anything, even less inspiring.
I'm not suggesting that Marillion should go Metal but if this offering is the best they can come up with then maybe it's time to put away the instruments.
