Our Take

Ah, Marillion. The band that brought us classics like "Misplaced Childhood" and "Script for a Jester's Tear". Now they've given us "The Best of Both Worlds", a compilation album that perfectly encapsulates the band's evolution over the years.

From the epic prog-rock anthems of the Fish era to the more polished pop-rock sound of the Steve Hogarth years, this album covers it all. It's like a musical time capsule, taking us on a journey through Marillion's storied career.

Highlights include the hauntingly beautiful "Kayleigh", the soaring "Incommunicado", and the introspective "Easter". Each song is a reminder of why Marillion has continued to captivate audiences for decades.

But it's not just the hits that make this album special. The deep cuts, like the atmospheric "Hooks in You" and the emotional "Seasons End", showcase the band's versatility and songwriting prowess.

Overall, "The Best of Both Worlds" is a must-have for any Marillion fan. It's a reminder of why this band has stood the test of time and continues to inspire new generations of musicians. So sit back, turn up the volume, and let Marillion take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers to that!
