Our Take

MARILLION's latest offering, "An Hour Before Its Dark" is a wild and wonderful ride through the world of prog rock. Fans of the band will be delighted to hear that they haven't lost their knack for crafting epic, sweeping compositions that defy easy categorisation.

From the opening track, "Be Hard on Yourself", it's clear that the band is unafraid to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. The intricate interplay between Steve Rothery's guitar work and Mark Kelly's keyboard melodies is a joy to behold, while Steve Hogarth's vocals soar and swoop with all the drama and emotion we've come to expect from MARILLION.

Standout tracks like "The Crowded Womb" and "Electric Grave" showcase the band's ability to blend complex musical arrangements with poignant lyricism, creating a multi-dimensional listening experience that rewards repeated listens.

While some may find the album's runtime a bit daunting, it's worth sticking with it for the payoff. "An Hour Before Its Dark" is a masterclass in modern prog rock, and a testament to MARILLION's enduring creativity and talent. So grab your headphones, settle in, and prepare to be transported to a world where the only limit is your imagination.
