Synopsis

Album Description
This is Fish?s twelfth studio album in a music career that has spanned over 23 years and is his eighth solo project since leaving Marillion in 1988. "I am very proud of this album and if it is my last one then it?s a good one to leave on!" says Fish. Recorded at Fish's house in East Lothian, it is an album that is bound to delight his fans and surprise others. Strongly Blues influenced (especially Zoo Class) with a beautiful ballad (Shot the Craw), the raw rock sound is punchy and anthemic, with tracks like Old Crow begging to be played live.

Good stuff here

"I'm a huge Fish fan but was hesitant to pick this up after reading some of the reviews. I finally found it in a music store during a recent trip to New York and am really glad I did. It's worth buying for "Numbers" alone. That is one of my all-time favorite Fish songs. I also dig "Moving Targets," "Exit Wound," "Scattering Crows" and have really warmed up to "Old Crow." Not the man's best album, but no artist consistently cranks out masterpieces. Still, some great works of art here.



And why all the hating on Felini Days? That's a brilliant album."
It's painful to say...

"I will continue to buy his new material as a show of support. I will continue to give all his new material a fair chance and listen with an open mind. I simply can't find anything good to say about Field of Crows. I listened to it sober, drunk, high, happy, sad and indifferent. Each time I found myself skipping to the next track half way through a song. Just plain boring. Mudane vocal performance that don't bring one to care what the lyrical message may be. I love ya Fish, but let's get busy on something interesting eh?"
Fish - The "Old Crow" Puts Out Another Good One

"For this one Fish brings in guitarist Bruce Watson as his songwriting partner, although I know nothing about him. This album is quite different musically from Fish's past endeavors. It is more straight ahead rock n roll oriented with a bluesy edge on several of the tracks. I think it is a step down from his previous 3 studio albums, but it is a good effort with above average songs. Fish has definitely moved on to a more modern sound on this album which may turn off those just looking for his progressive rock past. You can't blame the guy for trying to move forward and for the most part it works on this disc. "The Field", "Innocent Party", "Moving Targets" are all solid rockers. "Old Crow" is downright funky. Is Fish singing about himself as the "Old Crow", or someone else? "Exit Wound" is another strong one and "Shot The Craw" is a great little ballad looking back on relationships lost. The album closer "Scattering Crows" brings the whole album to a climax and with the sound of a shotgun blast and crows flying up from "The Field". As mentioned earlier Fish has done better albums, but I enjoy this one a lot as well."
