At the time, Marillions remarkable, full-fledged 1983 debut Script for a Jesters
Tear
was considered an odd bird: replete with Peter Gabriel face paint and lengthy,
technical
compositions, Marillion ushered in a new generation of prog rock that bound them
forever
to the heroics of early day Genesis. Intricate, complex, and theatrical almost
to a fault,
Script for a Jesters Tear remains the bands best and sets the bar for their
later work.
Filled with extraordinary songs that remained staples in the bands live gigs,
the album begins
with the poignant title track, on which Fish leads his band of merry men on a
brokenhearted
tour de force that culminates with the singer decrying that …the game is
over. He Knows You Know,
a song sprinkled with drug paranoia and guilt; as the song veers to its chorus,
Fish announces,
Fast feed, crystal fever, swarming through a fractured mind. If The Web hints at
a grain of
commercialism, Garden Party is a joyous anthem that showcases Marillion at the
peak of its powers.
Bogged down by some hilariously over-the-top British poetry, Chelsea Monday may
be one of the albums
lesser moments (if there are any), but the magical Forgotten Sons concludes the
opus magnificently.
Luckily for Marillion fans, EMI released a remastered version of Script with two
different versions of
Market Square Heroes, Three Boats Down from the Candy, Grendel, Chelsea Monday,
the demo of He Knows You Know,
and an alternate track titled Charting the Single. A vital piece for any
Marillion head and an essential work for any
self-respecting first- or second-generation prog rock fan.
