GREAT! FANTASTIC! EXCELLENT! A new group just hit the US from England, and they are a great relief from the commercial blues. Who is it you ask it ???? Its Marillion - Script for a jester`s tear They may be a genesis rip off but their damn good at it. In fact they are much better that the current genesis. The singer named Fish, has a voice some where between Gabriel and Collins. At times he sound almost like Gabriel. The band has an early genesis sound but with an 80`s twist. I would rate this album a 8 on the 1 - 10 scale. (only the WALL gets a ten because of its perfection). If you are into progressive rock and have been depressed because of all the commercial crap on the market you`ll find this album a great relief. It contains 6 songs (not your average 20) each song is about 8 mins long. This ablum was definately not produced for the commercial market. I think most of the genesis fans will love this album, but the real strong and serious Grabriel freaks will probably turn their nose up on this one. ihuxt!messina
