Marillion - Seasons End

 

Zzzzzzzz

 

imo the fifth Marillion album is Vigil which is brilliant compared to this snooze fest.

 

 

I take it you don't like the Hogarth era of the band, otherwise you wouldn't be saying such nonesense. Along with 'Holidays In Eden', THE best Hogarth era Marillion disc, with classic tracks like 'Easter' 'The Space' 'Hooks In You', 'King Of Sunset Town' and the b'sides of 'The Bell In The Sea' and The Release'.

Not nonsense mate. Marillion were never the same after they parted ways with Fish. Lost that magical touch...and yes I far prefer Vigil to Seasons End. I agree that the best 2 songs are Hooks and The Space...both v good tracks.

Marillion became a completely different band once Fish left ... I'm with Glen on this, 'Vigil ...' is a far better album than 'Seasons ...'. That said, I love 'Holidays In Eden' and 'Brave', and I've seen the Hogarth-fronted band a couple of times ... they're just not 'Marillion' anymore (for me, at least) ... they hardly ever play any of the Fish-era material now, and those are the songs that put the band on the map ...

I saw the Hogarth fronted Marillion on the Seasons End tour. He was OK, but as you say it was basically a different band without Fish. I didnt really bother after that.

 

I still rate the band as musicians, but the life and blood of that band was Fish, and of course the amazing lyrics from the early albums.

 

Having said that I only own Vigil from Fish's solo career. The last album was decent and a hark back to the old Marillion sound in places, but it was pretty dark and didnt grab me as I would have liked.

 

He was still superb on his acoustic tour tho - and the gig at Riga was one of the best i've witnessed....from any band/artist. Mesmerising.

    • First, I'm just impressed you found a video where you can actually hear Lzzy; everything I'd seen the last 2 days was terrible sound quality. With that said, she sounds fine. Not gonna make anyone forget Sebastian, or Erik for that matter, but she'll do a good job filling in 👍
    • Was this release on an EP CD?

    • From Escape Music: KEYS has just completed their second album, “The Grand Seduction”.   This all-keyboard band is the brainchild of singer Jake E (Cyhra, Amaranthe and others) and keyboardist Mark Mangold (Touch, Drive, She Said, Michael Bolton, Cher, Paul Rogers and others) with Emanuel Bagge (Sweden’s Got Talent Finalist) on additional vocals and keys, Irwan Fabrien (noted keyboard guitar sound designer) with help of drum gurus Alex Landenburg (Kamelot, Cyhra and others).   Featuring live performances with three keyboardists and a huge battery of keyboards, this ambitious band brings keyboard and instrumental prowess to new heights while playing songs that run the gamut from scathing progressive melodic forays to catchy and melodic rock anthems …and Jake’s award-winning voice (Burrn Vocalist of the year 2020).   Previous KEYS album also featured guest keyboard additions by Charlie Calv of Angel and others.   Though songs are first and foremost, this band shows the versatility of keyboards in this day and age.  These artfully crafted songs are ripe with scathing synth, organ and “guitar” pyrotechnics, dazzling time signatures and drumming, bombastic choruses and “guitar” riffs (played on keyboards with the now available plug in’s that perfectly emulate guitars).  As Mark and Jake are first and foremost award winning songwriters, they never lose sight of the composition and melodies, though couched in the very signature and hard to pigeon hole sound (isn’t that the whole point?) of this band and Jake's 4 octave vocal range.   Release Date: 19th July 2024 CD Catalogue No: ESM389   CD Track List: 1. THE GRAND SEDUCTION 9:02 2. ALL I NEED  6:49 3. SHINING SAILS  5:51 4. SWITCHBLADE  6:02 5. VORTEX   4:06 6. SKIN AND BONES  6:42 7. TURN TO DUST    4:42 8. CRAZY TOWN   7:43 9. THOUGHT WE HAD FOREVER  6:04 10. THE WORLD IS OURS (Curse the Lies)   4:02   Vinyl Track List: Side A 1. THE GRAND SEDUCTION 6:47 2. ALL I NEED 6:49 3. SHINING SAILS 5:51 4. VORTEX 4:06   Side B 1. SWITCHBLADE 6:02 2. SKIN AND BONES 6:42 3. TURN TO DUST 4:42 4. CRAZY TOWN 7:43   PRODUCED BY MARK MANGOLD AND JAKE E MIXED BY MARK MANGOLD MASTERED BY MAOR APPELBAUM
