Just got home from work, and my disk was waiting on the dining room table, a week earlier that expected. :victorydance:


Listening now, Gaza is incredible.



Edit:Wow, The Sky Above The Rain just left me fucking speechless. Gotta sleep now. I'll give the rest a proper listen tomorrow. Huge musical boner here though, just huge.

Hmm...

Perhaps I'll have it in less than a month then....

Nice review! I never got into H-era Marillion but I might have to check this out.

Thanks man. Just check out Gaza, that song will probably sell you on the rest of it. And Sky Above the Rain could be one of my most favorite songs ever.

So glad I pre-ordered it and got the Racket MP3s they offered for pre-orderee's  :metal

LOVE this album, unfortunately, it's taken a second-seat to Neal Morse's new album this month, but I've given it a few fair spins and it's just great, top to bottom, and on par with some of H-Era Marillion's best works!

This arrived Monday. I guess 13 days after I ordered it.

Still haven't listened to this or the Neal Morse yet, but I have seen the Marillion DVD and liked it. Great stuff!


The artwork on the package is stunning and it looks like the lyrics are top notch too.

I'm hoping to get some time to sit down with it soon and just take it all in...

Just wanted to add - it's HARD to be a Marillion fan...hard in that it becomes expensive. They have SOOOO much material available in their shop at Racket Records, it's becoming a chore to get everything from live DVDs and CDs, to special-editions. From here on out, I might have to stick with studio albums and a select few live DVDs, although I have to finish the set from last year's Marillion Weekend, since they decided to release the 5 DVDs at 3 separate times.

Yeah, wish they'd hurry up and release that Sunday night show.

Do check out the limited edition live CD of the recent London show - it's a scorcher.

Me either :( Where in the world are you Zep? I'm in Maryland.

Ironically, I received an shipment notification email from Burning Shed (about my pre-ordered Get All You Deserve set) a few days after I got the email from Racket Records about STCBM...and I got GAYD on Saturday last week, less than a week after getting my email from Burning Shed.

I guess I can't really blame Racket Records, but the transition from Royal Mail to USPS on this package is HORRENDOUS... I've never had any problems ordering/pre-ordering anything from the UK, let alone Europe in general. Tracking numbers would've been great.

At least the band gave us the MP3 downloads!

Maybe the West Coast discs got shipped the other way round the world?

Long Island.  I just asked another friend of mine on Long Island who also pre-ordered, and he hasn't gotten it either.

I got that same 9/12 shipment confirmation e-mail.

Ditto on the email. I don't know if I can blame the mail, now, though... Burning Shed shipped my package out on or around the 17th, 5 days after I got the email from Racket, and I got that package on 22nd. I'm just really confused...and worried. I hope it didn't get lost in the mail, especially since I shelled out for the Special Edition.

I got my shipping email (deluxe edition, ordered after the campaign ended) on September 13th and it arrived a week ago in Connecticut. I had sent them an email previously asking when it would ship, and they told me that it was on its way but they didn't send the shipping email out yet. They said that their first priority was getting them in the mail and they'd worry about emails later. Its odd that so many people haven't gotten theirs yet though it seems like a lot of people have problems with shipping from England.

Hey guys, I saw on the Marillion forum a note about troubles with the shipping of a good portion of the discs, and it came from the band, so that might explain the delays some of you are experiencing.

I'm going to laugh (while feelings genuinely sad for you folks) if an H-era critic like myself ends up getting this before you guys. I had been hearing good things about this and figured I'd give it a shot and so I ordered from Amazon a week or so ago.

Well... in fairness, they did already send out an mp3 version of the album to anybody who pre-ordered, so we can at least still hear it early.

What the hell? Grendel, seriously? I don't think Marillion played it live much after 1983...color me interested!

FINALLY got my copy here in Maryland!!! LOVE the packaging, but unfortunately, it's slightly TOO tall to fit in my CD tower, so it's laying flat along the top of some other Marillion CD jewel cases, where there's room. Thankfully it's not too thick of a package either...er...uhm.

Anyways, beautiful packaging, love the slip-case, and the pictures (as I flipped through the booklet) are great! Gonna have to watch the DVD sometime tomorrow or soon!

Finally listened to this on Monday night. (got it on the 25th after I ordered it three weeks ago and it shiiped on Sept. 12th)

I saw the DVD last week as an appetizer. Great stuff. Packaging is top notch.

It's definately a grower. There's some awesome stuff on hear that needs proper attention that I'm unable to give at the moment.


The mix on Gaza sucks...which is too bad because it could be the best song on the album. The mix evens out a little from there. Not enough Rothery for me, but when he's there, you know it.

I need to hear this live. If not in person than a DVD will suffice. Gaza is just so much more than what's on that record. 



Nick, where have you been hearing "good things" about this?

Afraid Of Sunlight
This Strange Engine
Anoraknophobia
Marbles

These four, definitely. Maybe in that order, since it is chronological. If you like them a lot, then go back and fill in the gaps between Brave and their last album (which I would also highly recommend).
