slumbering genius

After furious debut "Script For A Jester`s Tear" I feel "Fugazi" as a certain step backwards.
It is certainly a very solid neo-prog album with many good ideas, strong songs, but it tears me simply not the way of things Vorgänger.In complexity and also the song structure there are many similarities, but I lack the certain something " ".Zudem it contains the completely uninspired" Punch & Judy "a genuine failure; ever.Echte for me one of the least interesting Marillion songs class songs are" Incubus "and" Fugazi "(especially the first part).
The rest is good, but not outstanding, partly on vocals (Fish), particularly in quiet passages, is.
However, you can feel even when listening to this album at any second, the potential in this squad still slumbered.
Mick Pointer (co-founder of the group "Arena") had to leave the band, so here already working the drums until today drumm end at Marillion Ian Mosley to permanent disputes with Fish.
Biggest weakness is the very moderate Aufnahmequalität.Schon the record sounded sterile, harsh, but still good for the first CD-Auflage.Die was unbearable, really annoying (eg the guitar on "Punch ...", just bad).
Unfortunately, the remastering of Peter Mew (Abbey Road Studios) ebenfalls.Wie disappointed at all Marillion remasters he reinforced the bass, as I still see in any remastering mußte.Bei the first two albums he made it after all, something "pleasing "to make it sound, but as would be more feasible gewesen.Ab" Misplaced Childhood "sound even better first pressings; Peter Mew everything sounds somehow" constricted ", hard to describe.
Marillion have later proved that everything they do on "Fugazi" properly, much better.
