#3059 Marillion - Script for a Jeter's Tear

This really does sound almost plausibly like the album that Genesis would have made after Hackett left. Except they would have never so flagrantly revisited their own riffs, and even mopey creeper Phil Collins wouldn't have swerved this hard into lovelorn moaning. How does a band nearly-named after a Tolkien book drop all the mythology in favor of 7/4 torch songs? If this was a Genesis album, this would have been their second worst to date*, but still miles better than And Then There Were Three 3/5

* sorry From Genesis to Revelations
