I ordered the sample cd from Marillion's web site.  Hopefully I will like them.  Loving Earthrise.  Cannot get the lyrics out of my head.

I get a Toto vibe from the song

I get a "We Built This City" vibe, which is probably why it is called 1985. :P

Make sure you listen to "Ocean Cloud" (I doubt it's on that CD). Just... make sure you do. Now, if possible.

"Earthrise" and "Red Giant" are still destroying for me, but now "Lapse" and... the rest of the non-epics :lol are up to the same level. This is just a complete statement without any filler, failed ideas, or wastes of time. Even "affinity.exe" is fantastic. Vinyl is getting my purchase next BurningShed order time (likely with Night by Gazpacho) – they carry it on clear, which is far better than the orange US variant.

First listen, finally. I always want my first listen to an album I've been anticipating to be perfect, quiet setting, no distractions, etc... If I can't do it right away when I get the CD, I wait.

Anyway, I'm enjoying it so far. I'm almost done with The Architect, so far it sounds like a very energetic album, with some nice calmer moments. 1985 is definitely the most progressive song on first listen, sticks right out. The rest I'll have to listen a few more times to give any real comments other than "cool" or "awesome".

Yea I hear that Opeth influence in The Architect, sounds like the opening segment of The Drapery Falls.

The overall 80s influence is mixed with 90s/2000s prog metal nicely, with a 2010s djent and modern rock sound twist, and I hear some Frank Zappa influence in there as well; it is something quite unique as far as I know, and it's pulled off nicely.

Ross is just ridiculous!  :lol Am I the only one who thinks that his voice doesn't match his face?

Going back to the album, this might be AOTY for me which is something I did not expect after how bummed I was by The Mountain.

I watched only the first minute because I don't want too much spoilers until I get the CD and hahahaha Ross. :rollin

In other news, been in the record store today and they told me they've sold out all the album copies already and that I should get back next Friday to get it. Either it's really popular here in Russia or they've ordered like two copies of Affinity or something.

In fairness to Ross, I think it almost always looks a little weird in music videos when singers are singing facing the camera but they aren't holding or standing in front of a microphone. He doesn't look as weird in the Initiate video, and I think a big part of that is that they gave him a microphone in that one.

Oh, I'm sure. I'm just pointing out what I think is the reason why he looks weird in that video. My feeling is, if you're making a music video, and you have a singer who does not play an instrument, you need to either give him a mic or have him act. Or have him be Tommy Karevik, because he can pull it off.

I don't think so, a lot of the influences like djent and electronic (wub wub wub) give me a more contemporary feeling too. Only some of the synthesizer stuff in 1985 has a really 80s vibe I think
