Listened to Brave FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE this week. It was AWESOME. I really wanna get into the post Fish era. Where should I go next?
Get Marbles first but make sure you get the 2 disc version!!! It has Ocean Cloud, and is worth the price of the whole album. Also check out Seasons End and Afraid of Sunlight.

Personally I really like Afraid of Sunlight. That or Marbles, (two-disc version).

Ocean Cloud is pretty damn incredible.

It's an excellent album for sure. One of my top 5 albums of 2012. Wait until you here The Sky Above The Rain and the title track.

The Sky Above The Rain was actually the first song I heard off this album! I just somehow forgot to check out the rest of the album afterwards and only remembered today. :omg:

Go Season's End couple weeks ago. I loved it. I guess Marbles is next!

Agreed. It's probably my 3rd favorite Marillion album overall after Seasons End and Clutching At Straws.

I really like the title track, Pour Your Love and Power. They remind me of Careless Whisper for some reason.  :lol But I mean that in the best way possible. Couldn't get into the rest of the album though. But hey, liking three songs on a Marillion album is pretty much a record-breaker for me.

I'd also say it's my third favorite, but after Seasons End and Marbles.

So here's another one of my 'pick your favorite from these arbitrary groupings' post...

Group 1: Fish-Era
Script For A Jester's Tear, Fugazi, Misplaced Childhood, Clutching At Straws

Group 2: H-Era Part 1 (the rest of the EMI Years)
Seasons End, Holidays In Eden, Brave, Afraid Of Sunlight

Group 3: H-Era Part 2
This Strange Engine, Radiation, marillion.com, Anoraknophobia

Group 4: H-Era Part 3
Marbles, Somewhere Else, Happiness Is The Road, Sounds That Can't Be Made

The first two groups make sense, considering their first 8 albums were all on the EMI label, and the first half of which were the Fish-Era, so they all group nicely. The second two groups a little less so, and I excluded Less Is More because aside from one song, it was all mostly re-workings of older material.

Many would group TSE/R/.com together, but I threw in Anoraknophobia just to make all the groups an even number of 4 albums each.

Anyways, you guys GO! Pick your fave album from each group!

Misplaced Childhood
Seasons End
This Strange Engine
Marbles

Straws, Brave, Anoraknophobia, Happiness.

Although really you could swap any of he four out for Fugazi, Sunlight, Radiation or Sounds and I'd still be happy.

Clutching at Straws
Season's End
This Strange Engine
Marbles (2CD version, otherwise Sounds That Can't Be Made)

That last one was killing me, as was the second one, between Season's End and Brave. I'm not too big on the third one, with TSE being my favourite there, so that was easy, and CAS is my favourite Marillion album ever, so, again, easy.

I'd get it from their website, just to make sure they don't accidentally send you the regular edition instead.

The recent Madfish rerelease was the 2-disc edition, if that's what you're looking for.

I waited almost 9 years to pick up Marbles....at first I couldn't find it, then I just refused to buy half a product.

Just a few months ago, I saw the Madfish version at a local CD shop.   It was worth every minute, and every penny.   Ocean Cloud is the best Marillion song I've ever heard.

Ocean Cloud is my favorite Marillion song as well. Seeing it live last year was such an incredible experience. I was in shock when they started playing it as I never thought I'd ever get to hear it live.

I really do like the Madfish rereleases. Along with the Pendragon ones, they look pretty neat on the shelf.

I love it too. This Train Is My Life, Real Tears For Sale, Asylum Satellite #1, and Happiness Is The Road are some of my favorites.

I also think Somewhere Else is very underrated. Maybe it's because it was my first Marillion album so there's a sentimental aspect, but I really enjoy it.

The Madfish label rereleased a few of the old Pendragon albums as well, though they aren't in a little book-like package like the Marillion ones are. Just jewelcase with slip covers over them. Still made them easier to find though.

I'd add Essence and Trap The Spark to that.

I have yet to hear Somewhere Else. I should pick it up.

Somewhere Else is underrated.  It's hard to follow-up an album like Marbles. But Somewhere Else is very good. Not life-changing by any means...but very good
