Our Take

Marillion return with their latest offering, "Anoraknophobia," a sprawling and eclectic journey through the band's signature prog-rock sound. From the moment you press play, you are transported to a whimsical world where odd time signatures and intricate melodies reign supreme.

Lead vocalist Steve Hogarth effortlessly captures the listener's attention with his emotive and theatrical delivery, painting vivid pictures with his lyrics and soaring vocals. The band's musicianship is on full display here, with intricate guitar riffs from Steve Rothery and dynamic rhythms from the rest of the band creating a lush sonic landscape.

Tracks like "Between You and Me" and "Quartz" showcase Marillion's ability to craft complex yet accessible songs that stay with you long after the music has stopped. The album's standout moment comes in the form of the epic 17-minute closer "This Strange Engine," a masterpiece of songwriting that ebbs and flows with a cinematic beauty.

While some may dismiss Marillion as a relic of the 80s prog-rock scene, "Anoraknophobia" proves that the band still has plenty of tricks up their sleeves. This is not just music for the die-hard fans, but an album that deserves to be heard by anyone with an appreciation for musical craftsmanship and emotional depth. Marillion may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those willing to dive in, "Anoraknophobia" is a rewarding and captivating listen.
