Script for a Jester's Tear

by Marillion

Effectively launching the 1980s neo-progressive rock movement, Marillion's debut heavily revitalizes the sprawling, theatrical complexity of early Genesis for a new decade. Fish’s incredibly passionate, highly poetic vocal delivery tackles bitter romantic failure and deep introspection over lush, labyrinthine synthesizer and guitar interplay. 'Script for a Jester's Tear' is a profoundly melancholic, highly melodic, and essential progressive rock classic.
