Our Take

Marillion's "This Strange Engine" is a rollercoaster of emotions that takes you on a journey through the band's eclectic sound. From the haunting vocals of frontman Steve Hogarth to the epic guitar solos and intricate drumming, this album is a wild ride from start to finish. The opening track, "Man of a Thousand Faces," sets the tone for the album with its atmospheric melodies and introspective lyrics. Hogarth's vocals soar over the driving rhythms, drawing the listener in with each haunting note. As the album progresses, tracks like "80 Days" and "This Strange Engine" showcase Marillion's ability to blend progressive rock with pop sensibilities, creating a sound that is both complex and accessible. The band's musicianship is on full display here, with each member adding their own unique flair to the mix. But what truly sets "This Strange Engine" apart is its emotional depth. From the tender ballad "Memory of Water" to the epic closer "This Strange Engine," Marillion wears their hearts on their sleeves, inviting the listener to join them on a cathartic musical journey. Overall, "This Strange Engine" is a testament to Marillion's enduring power as a band. With its mixture of soaring melodies, intricate instrumentation, and emotional depth, this album is a must-listen for any fan of progressive rock. So go ahead, strap in and enjoy the ride – you won't be disappointed.
