ADD

"I am convinced the only reason Marillion is not the biggest band in the world is the fact that most music listeners suffer from ADD. If you crave instant gratification and fast food for the ears, Marillion is not the band for you.
Most real music fans I know recogize their all-time favorite music, music that truly touches their soul, is music they might not have "gotten" upon their first listen.
Being a Marillion fan since their very first album, I recognized Marbles as yet another Masterpiece. If you enjoy music that will take you places no other music can, dedicate the amount of time to "get" Marillion.
People from over 30 different countries traveled to Holland in 2007 to witness Marillion Weekend. What other band can warrant such devotion."
Marillion's Best

"This is by far Marillion's best effort. Every song stands out as an essential piece of Marillion history. As a die hard Hogarth-era fan it is hard for me to say that any album could surpass the immortal and highly celebrated Brave album but the two-disc version of Marbles has surpassed it by miles. Why do I say the two-disc version? Two words - Ocean Cloud."
