I was a huge Marillion in the 80's. They must have been in my top 3 bands and I saw them twice in concert. Anything they releised on vinyls, I was buying. When Fish left, I lost totally interest for the new Marillion.
Lately, I went back to listen to their stuff with Fish and got really hooked again, something I had to feel for so many years and I started to listen to all they did with Fish but also with Hogarth and read anything about them including a lot of Fish interviews.
So what I simply want is to know them totally, know what Marillion is since Hogarth and also Fish's solo career. And so far I have listened to the first 3 albums they made with Hogarth.
The first one, Seasons end is very good. Steve Rothery said in an interview recently that he was not nervous or anxious about that album because when Fish left he had pretty much all the music written.
The second one, Holidays in Eden has not captivate me. It's much less progressive and sounds more pop. I will have a few more listens but it does nothing to me so far.
The third one, Brave is good. The band sounds like Marillion and I like some tracks but I will give it a few more spins to see if I can enjoy it more.
As I am watching a lot of stuffs too, I realise that Fish doesn't have a great voice nowadays but he was already losing it by the end of the 90s. But no matter how he performs, I still like it.
