marillion.com: Marillion: Amazon.co.uk: Music

This album is without doubt one of the finest offerings of the Hogarth era. There are those who will say that Marillion were no good as soon as Fish left, but you have to appreciate that with Fish went the Fish style and the rest of the band are now trying to produce albums that don't all sound the same. This album changes all the way through and in 'Interior Lulu' we have surely one of the best Marillion songs since Script. A must buy album, and the next one's out soon.....

4.0 out of 5 stars A near-return to form., 28 April 2000

By	jmcobleybulldog@aol.com (East Anglia) - See all my reviews

Yes, this is the best Marillion album since they 'left' EMI. Yes, 'Tumble Down the Years' could be a big hit if it got airplay. These days, though, only Radio 2 would touch it. Could you really see 'Tumble' alongside Lolly on The Box or Radio 1? Times have changed. Marillion were never fashionable, although in 1985 they had novelty value in the charts. I'm an enormous fan, but even I have to admit that we're never gonna see a Marillion resurgence. So, let's stop carping about it. Marillion fans are a niche audience now. If you liked ANY of their other stuff, if you liked latterday Genesis or Pink Floyd, even if you're partial to AOR, you will find plenty here to connect with. Radiohead were undoubtedly influenced by Marillion, but can you see them ever admitting it? Fashion is everything.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best since 'Brave', 13 Jun 2000

By A Customer

'Brave' remains the watermark for the Hogarth era, but this is a close challenger to that crown. The price of this CD alone is justified by 'Interior Lulu', an absolutely wonderful, imaginative, inventive, restless, adventurous and and unforgettable epic. Marillion are the only band currently recording that still believe in exploring longevity in popular music, in an age of loops, samples and vacuous repetition. Of the other tracks, 'Go!' is brilliant and inspired -- similar to 'Beautiful' from 'Afraid of Sunlight' -- while 'House' is one of their more welcome 'new directions' and has some of the best drumming ever to feature on a Marillion CD. Ignore the comments of Fish-throwbacks and 80s nostalgics (hey, I was there, it wasn't that good, y'know) and keep yourself up to date, like the band have, with 'Marillion.com'. Great stuff.
