Our Take

Marillion, the prog-rock veterans with a penchant for epic soundscapes and deep philosophical musings, are back with their latest offering, "An Hour Before Its Dark." And boy, oh boy, do they deliver the goods.

From the haunting opening track "Be Hard on Yourself" to the grandiose finale of "Oscillate," this album is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and sonic delights. Singer Steve Hogarth's soaring vocals are as powerful as ever, cutting through the lush instrumentation like a hot knife through butter.

The band's musicianship is on full display here, with guitarist Steve Rothery's intricate riffs and keyboardist Mark Kelly's ethereal synths creating a rich tapestry of sound. Drummer Ian Mosley and bassist Pete Trewavas provide a rock-solid foundation for the rest of the band to build upon, never missing a beat.

But what really sets Marillion apart is their ability to weave complex musical ideas into catchy, radio-friendly tunes. Tracks like "The Caterpillar" and "Grace" are instant earworms, with hooks that will have you humming along for days.

Overall, "An Hour Before Its Dark" is a triumph for Marillion, showcasing their continued evolution as a band while staying true to their prog-rock roots. So grab a glass of your favourite beverage, sit back, and let Marillion take you on a journey through the cosmos. You won't be disappointed.
