Marillion -- Less is More

Rating: C-
Marillion is one of those bands that America just never quite
figured out. Now the band is releasing a dumbed down, musical
version of the band, claiming that less is more. In this case,
however, less is depressing. After repeated listens the music
damn near made me want to jump off the top of a tall building.
This is some sad music, played well, but soul numbing
nonetheless.
That said, the tunes are actually pretty good but it seems to me
that this release may be the band's way of providing voluntary
euthanasia for the fan base. Listen at your own risk.
