Our Take
Our Take
Marillion's Clutching At Straws is like a wild rollercoaster ride through the mind of a poetic madman. Lead singer Fish's vocals are hauntingly beautiful, reminiscent of a drunken poet reciting Shakespeare in a dimly lit pub. The band's musical prowess is undeniable, with intricate guitar solos and pulsating rhythms that keep your heart racing until the very last note.
The album's themes of disillusionment and despair are as relevant today as they were in the 1980s, making it a timeless classic that will resonate with listeners of all ages. Tracks like "Hotel Hobbies" and "Sugar Mice" are both emotionally raw and musically dynamic, showcasing Marillion's ability to blend heart-wrenching lyrics with epic rock anthems.
Clutching At Straws is a journey into the darkest corners of the human psyche, a cathartic experience that will leave you feeling both exhausted and exhilarated. Whether you're a die-hard Marillion fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates true artistry in rock music.
So, grab a glass of whisky, turn up the volume, and prepare to be blown away by Marillion's Clutching At Straws. This album is a masterclass in storytelling and musicianship, a true gem in the world of progressive rock.
