Our Take

Marillion’s latest offering, This Strange Engine, is a mesmerizing journey through the vivid imagination of these prog rock legends. The album is a sonic tapestry, intricately weaving together lush textures and intricate melodies that transport the listener to another realm.

Lead singer Steve Hogarth’s haunting vocals soar over Steve Rothery’s searing guitar work, creating a dynamic contrast that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat. Tracks like "Man of a Thousand Faces" and "Estonia" showcase the band’s ability to seamlessly blend elements of rock, pop, and ambient music into a cohesive, otherworldly sound.

But This Strange Engine is not just an exercise in musical virtuosity – it’s also a deeply introspective and emotional journey. The lyrics delve into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, inviting the listener to explore the depths of their own soul.

While some may find Marillion’s brand of prog rock a bit too niche, those willing to take the plunge will be rewarded with a truly immersive and transcendent listening experience. This Strange Engine is a testament to the band’s enduring creativity and musical prowess, cementing their status as one of the most innovative acts in the genre. So buckle up, dear listener, and prepare to be taken on a wild, unpredictable ride through the strange and wonderful world of Marillion.
