Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Teenage angst meets prog rock on Marillion's first and still finest album from 1983. Singer Fish plays the role of misunderstood poet to perfection, his bedsit anguish memorably realised by sleeve artist Mark Wilkinson. In the title track a convoluted web of lyrical imagery invests its prosaic lost-my-girlfriend theme with a tortured passion previously alien to prog rock. Elsewhere, loss of another kind is explored in "Chelsea Monday"; Fish commendably vents his spleen at the establishment in "Forgotten Sons"--a crowd-stopping finale to Marillion's live show in those days--and pokes wordy fun at the toffs in the band's first and most unlikely hit, "Garden Party". Musically it's earnestly sub-Genesis most of the time, as the inclusion of the almost 20-minute "Grendel" (a thinly veiled take on "Supper's Ready" from Foxtrot) on the second disc shows only too clearly, but the musician's sheer energy--galvanised by Fish's angry young man polemics--carries the day. It's an astonishingly confident debut destined never to be bettered, but thankfully now given a remastered new life, with extensive notes from all involved in the booklet plus earlier material and demos collected on disc two. --Mark Walker


Album Description

5.0 out of 5 stars A Moving Script for Tears, 2003/10/3
Only five songs, long and boring solos and complicated lyrics... if you agree with these statements stop reading here and go check Enrique Iglesias's page...
Ok for the rest of you I'll share my opinion. Only few bands in the history of music started with such an impressive debut album. Every song here is a masterpiece but the peak is the title song "Script for A Jester's Tear". This composition is worth writing an essay about!

5.0 out of 5 stars 幻想的、しかし泣ける, 2003/4/28
By primejive (三重県四日市市) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
クラブからのし上がり、80年代のイギリスを制覇した稀有なバンド、マリリオンのメジャーデビュー作。それにしても、ここまでの圧倒的な完成度を見せ付ける新人って今までにいただろうか？それほどの素晴らしい出来である。

ピーター・ゲイブリエル在籍時のジェネシスと比較される演劇的要素を持った劇的な音世界は、ボーカリストのフィッシュがもたらしたものだ。ジャケットにもある庶民生活の最下層にいるしがない道化師の目から見た世界観、そういった着想自体が、ストレートな視点よりも逆説的にピュアにリスナーに響いてくるのだ。このあたり、心憎いばかり。

タイトル曲の出来は本当に神がかり的。静と動のコントラスト、メロディの起伏とサウンド、どれもポンプロックの代名詞ともいえる出来だ。?の曲も独特の世界観を失わず、どれも聴き所でいっぱいだ。

ボーナスディスクもレア音源満載。特に、彼らのインディーズでのデビューシングル、なんと３０分にも及ぶ大作「Grendel」が聴けるのは嬉しい。これは名曲！ハードな展開と泣きのメロディが交錯する至福の時を是非体験してみてほしい。

4.0 out of 5 stars ファーストシングル, 2009/5/19
なんといっても1stシングル（たしか12インチ）で、1stアルバムに無かった"Three Boats Down From the Candy"がボーナスディスクに入っていて10数年ぶりに聞けたことがよかった。当時はジェネシス（というかピーターガブリエル）くりそつで、びっくりしたものでした。
