Our Take

Marillion's "Clutching At Straws" is like your eccentric uncle at a family gathering - strange, intriguing, and impossible to ignore. This album is a wild ride from start to finish, taking listeners on a journey through the highs and lows of the human experience.

The band's unique blend of prog rock, art rock, and neo-progressive sounds creates a sonic landscape that is both challenging and rewarding. From the haunting melodies of "Hotel Hobbies" to the epic storytelling of "White Russian," Marillion showcases their incredible musicianship and songwriting prowess.

Frontman Fish's emotive vocals are a highlight of the album, bringing a raw, vulnerable energy to each track. His lyrics are poetic and thought-provoking, touching on themes of addiction, loss, and redemption.

"Clutching At Straws" is a true masterpiece of 80s rock, standing the test of time as a classic in the genre. Marillion proves once again why they are considered one of the most innovative and influential bands in the industry.

So grab a glass of your favorite whiskey, sit back, and let Marillion take you on a journey through the dark and surreal world of "Clutching At Straws." You won't regret it. Cheers to a musical experience that is truly unforgettable.
