      I actually think Clutching At Straws is their masterpiece over Misplaced Childhood. There is more passion, from pain, as Fish was struggling with his lifestyle and alcohol. It was his final album with Marillion, and I feel they've never been better ... before or since. It's another one that needs to be heard completely. White Russian is pure genius and fits what is going on in the world right now. Don't be afraid to move over to IQ and the Ever album. They had similar influences and I know you'll enjoy it as much as this one. (It's the album Further Away is on - and you reacted to it and loved it!)

      The opening trio of songs on Clutching are definitely some of their strongest material ever IMO. It's all a matter of taste of course but, after that, it's a mixed bag for me on this album.Going Under and Just For The Record just never did much for me. White Russian picks up and the last 4 on the album are abosulte fire :) But I have a special place in my heart for Bitter Suite, Lothian and BLind Curve on Misplaced.
      I actually play in a Marillion tribute band so I know their music well and we even played some of their stuff mixed with our own originals in the 80s. This music is very nostalgic for me. Nowadays we open most of our tribute shows with a 2 way punch of Incommunicado (Clutching) and Assassing (Fugazi). This music is a lot of fun to play!

    This album is my Marillion's favorite from the Fish's era. And from the Steve Hogarth's era, I think it's Season's End (the album with the song Easter). Steve Rothery's guitar solos always are great, and his guitar sound is amazing.

    Marillion is where a lot of Genesis fans went when Genesis went pop with their album Genesis. It coincided with the emergence of Marillion and their first album Script for a jesters tear. Fish’s vocals and Marillions sound seemed tailor made to take us back to everything we loved about earlier Genesis. Please carry on with the album it is brilliant.

    I had the immense privilege to hear live the whole Misplaced Childhood album when Marillion were opening for Rush, for the power Windows tour, in 1986. To this day, I still can remember the whole show. Personnally, I strongly recommend you to listen (and not necesserally react 😁) to the whole album, from beginning to the end ;)
    As an afterthought, I learned the whole Lavender piano part and would play that when we (my highschool friends and I) were having parties and we would all sing together (we were completely wasted I might add). Beautiful memories!

    Marillion are one the most under-rated bands in the history of rock music.....both eras, both singers - few bands in history have come close to the quality/longevity/honesty in their careers compared to this band. First albums released in the early 80's and they are still putting out AMAZING music. Each musician in the band is special and incredibly talented.

  • @MrSinnerBOFH
    @MrSinnerBOFH 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Yes, please, do the whole album!
    This is their first concept album, and it’s worth every minute. I read somewhere that Marillion is like “Pink Floyd in touch with their feminine side”, full of feelings and beautifully played.
    They released a new album this year, “An Hour Before it’s Dark” and is brilliant.
    As an interesting note, Marillion created crowdfunding since their record company refused to fund a new album. The keyboard player went to a Marillion fan mailing list (forum?) asked for help and the fans funded that album. And the next. And the next… to this day, this is how Marillion records albums and how it gets to fund the costs of traveling to the US for concert tours.
    I’d recommend you to also listen to their albums: Brave, Marbles, FEAR and their debut album: Script For a Jester’s Tear.
    Welcome to the best band you’ve beber heard of!

      My husband helped crowd-fund that first one, and several since. It’s fun to go through the liner notes and find his name. I prefer Fish-era and he prefers H-era. We went to the Montréal shows on the 3 day weekend in 2015, and we saw them in Cleveland on the F.E.A.R. tour. We saw Fish in 2008 at the TLA on the 13th Star tour.
      Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws are both “concept albums” that you really need to listen through in one go, and read the lyrics. So incredibly emotional. And just because i prefer Fish-era, H-era music is good too. Please give this cd to your dad, he will love it!

    In 1983… my 3rd year of college… my friend was a huge Marillion fan as well As a Peter Gabriel Genesis fan. Everytime I went to his room and he had one of the two on the stereo I guessed wrong as to which band was playing… lol. Later … Clutching at Straws became my favorite… but this was my favorite before that… as I overplayed Misplaced Childhood, FUGAZI bumped to the number one spot along side of the live “Real to Reel”… and Marketsquare Heroes with the tune GRENDEL. Even though the drummer is a bit lesser …. “Script For A Jester’s Tear” is amazing too. I’m not a lyrics guy… but Fish’s poetic lyrics are my favorite of anyone’s …bar none ! SO HAPPY you discovered this and hope you jump down the Marillion Fish Era rabbit hole… you can’t go wrong! Also Nick … you seemed to notice Steven Rothery’s use of The E-BOW on his guitar solo… more of that to come. Thanks guys ! Love you BOTH got to hear this !!!i

    Nothing against Steve Hogarth, but to me Marillion will always be the Fish era up to Clutching at Straws.

But you can't go wrong with either of the first 4 albums.

    I have so much respect for Marillion. Their first album was released in 1983, when 'prog' was a dirty word with the music press of the day, and everyone seemed to compare them with PG era Genesis. But they always had something more, and through 'Script For A Jester's Tear' and 'Fugazi' (listen to 'Assassing') they developed into the band that produced this masterpiece and their following masterpiece 'Clutching At Straws'. A marathon of the first three tracks of 'Straws' will provoke a response similar to yours here NicknLex! Then Fish (vocals) left and many people wrote them off, or simply forgot about them, or 'dissed' Steve Hogarth (the new vocalist) and they released 'Seasons End' which is brilliant and has 'Easter', which you both loved and is one of my all time favourite songs. Since then they have released countless excellent albums, having to resort to crowd funding/fan funding as labels failed to promote them effectively. They can still fill venues like The Royal Albert Hall in London with ease, and I'll be seeing them on their next tour in the UK. A band that does things on their own terms, and deserving of all the praise their fans pour on them. Thanks NicknLex! Let's have more Marillion!

They were opening for Rush (Power Windows Tour in 1986) for 2 sold out shows in Montréal and Québec City. The crowd gave to Marillion huge ovation after they played Misplaced Childhood entirely . In some shows in the States they were booed. The single version of Lavender has a longer guitar solo but on Kaykeigh edit single the guitar solo is shorter.

    The Marillion of now just haedlined the Cruise to the Edge prog cruise and Transatlantic were second on the bill. So Pete Trewavas was the bassist in BOTH headliners 🙂#nicknlexrequest

    You now understand why MANY folks miss the "Fish" era of Marillion. And yes, the obvious "influence" and influences are there not only in Fish's voice, but every musician. But I think the "Steve Hogarth" era probably widened their audience. Though the Fish era may have given us a _what if_ scenario if Peter Gabriel continued with Genesis into the 80's. "Kayliegh" and MTV put Marillion on the map for those who had no clue what _Progressive Rock_ was. For me it was the video for "The Assassing", from their 2nd album "Fugazi" (1984).
    Always wanted to take a dive into Fish's solo efforts, will have to do that soon. I'm trying to remember who sent you the Marillion albums too (downloads or burned CD's if I remember correctly) from one of the past 4 unboxing videos . . . .
    As Sylvain Milcent said, this was a time where Progressive Rock was considered a dying "Dinosaur (Rock)". Yet you had Prog Rockers from the past still going strong into a new future with; Gentle Giant, Genesis, Steve Hackett, Peter Gabriel, Yes, King Crimson, Supertramp, Caravan, Kayak, Van der Graaf Generator, Electric Light Orchestra, Starcastle, Kansas, Rush, Saga, FM,
    Eloy, Camel, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa, Brand X, Dixie Dregs, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Crack the Sky, Happy the Man, Asia, Uriah Heep, ELP (and the band "3", including Emerson Lake and "Powell"), Pink Floyd and a handful of others were still continuing on, some with a more commercial sound.
    Until "Marillion" released their debut "Script for a Jester's Tear" in 1983, "IQ" from
    England, with "Tales from the Lush Attic" in 1983, "It Bites" also from England with "The Big Lad in the Windmill" in 1983, and "Pallas" from Scotland, would continue the new wave of Neo-Progressive Rock in 1984 with their debut album "The Sentinel". So a resurgence started, possibly after Pop/Top 40 saturated the radio in the 80's and left a bad taste in the mouths of people needing music with musicianship and breaking barriers. So Metal and Progressive Rock became the music from the Underground.
    - Its really great to see you Lexi enjoying this with your Nick and all of us. We missed you 😊.
    Side note, the child on the cover always reminded me of a slightly older "Barret Oliver" from the Fantasy film "The Neverending Story", but apparently was a neighbor of the cover artist *Mark Wilkinson* by the name of Robert Mead (seemingly a doppelganger :).

    My last gig was seeing Marillon live at the Hammersmith Apollo London. Excellent band, my favourite album is 'Afraid of Sunlight', that's with Steve Hogarth on vocals after 'Fish' departed. Also check out 'Fantastic Place' track from their Marbles album. You always know it's a class track when the hairs on your arm and neck stand up!

    This is a different singer from the one you reacted to already "Easter". I discovered Marillion with Misplaced Childhood so I'll always have a soft spot for the earlier Marillion but the second singer has been with the band since '89 so, MUCH longer than the orginal one and they have an amazing catalogue with him as well.

    Marillion is one of the best Prog bands, they originally modeled themselves on Genesis, and their song Grendel is very similar to Suppers Ready, They are still producing music, see their album An Hour Before it's Dark released this year, and the track Murder Machines, older tracks that you ought to listen to include Garden Party, The Space, Invisible Man, Blind Curve, Sugar Mice, Bitter Suite and many more, interestingly Lavender is a cover - originally written in 1948 and performed by Burl Ives in 1949.

    Decades love long affair with this album. One afternoon in April 1988 I was strolling around downtown Stuttgart with some of my Army friends, and by chance --the first CD's I ever owned, bought this album along with three of the most fascinating albums: Peter Gabriel (Melt), Kate Bush (Hounds of Love), and Love and Money (Strange Kind of Love). Those albums to this day rank among my top 5 favorite pieces of music. I am glad I ran across your page. Thank you for the music and your feedback on this album, it certainly has a Peter Gabriel sound to it.
