Marillion - Script For A Jester's Tear (1983) (2CD Remaster Edit 2005)

In the genre of prog rock, one of the norms is that debut albums tend to be rougher in terms of their sound, with more "edges" in a sense. Granted that Marillion came out with very clear influences (a musical advantage, so to speak) stemming from Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes and even King Crimson, this, their debut album sounded very polished, serving as an exquisite musical framework to Fish's very particular lyrics and voice. Though the band in their Fish period has been almost inextricably tied to the Scottsman (so much, that when he departed in 88, most people deemed them doomed to breaking up), the strength of the band beyond Fish has been present in their music since day one, giving enough room for each member to contribute to his fullest. An example of this are the guitar solos Steve Rothery delivers for the opening track and "Chelsea Monday," Mark Kelly's upbeat keyboards in "Garden Party," Pete Trewavas' characteristic bass line all through "Chelsea Monday" hand in hand with Rothery's mourning guitar and even the drum work of short-lived Marillion member Mick Pointer (he would only be a part of the band until the recording of this album). The way I see it, this album, along with their "single" prior to it ("Grendel," which fortunately is part of the Disc 2 on this remastered edition of the original 1983 album) constitute the band's formal tribute to their predecessors, serving as a musical platform for what the band would later show to the world, peaking in 1986 with the genius of the concept album 'Misplaced Childhood,' which introduced most of the bands fan base to them, thanks to the more radio-oriented single "Kayleigh." In a sense, after 'Script...' the comparisons between them and the groups that influenced them more directly would become more subtle, making room in the fans' ears and hearts for what would become the Marillion sound...Manny Hernandez
