Marillion: Somewhere Else

At first, I wasn't sure about this album. I've had it playing in the car off and on over the past week or so however, and it's grown on me. Overall, and in my own opinion, it's not one of their strongest releases, but is still one of their better ones. The production quality is stellar, the musicianship is, as usual, very good. Song structure is nice, but there are a few weak tracks (again, my opinion.).

The only real weakness is in the area of lyrics. They're ok.. just ok. I mean, I like them, but it seems that they weren't as "feeling" as the last few albums. Sometimes, it seems they just lifted popular bumper stickers of our time and set them to music.

Still, overall, I like the album. There are some great moments here. Go to their website and listen to some of this album there, and buy it if you like. I fully endorse Marillion, and encourage you to try them out...
