| | TWAS 227: Runrig, Fish, Marillion |
 | | And here you are, the rest of you, the ones that neglected to get other careers, after nine studio albums, two live records, a best-of and a brief but tantalizing TV-commercial-induced glimpse of potential fame, staring at the end of an era and trying to summon the strength to start a new one. |
 | | This album's masterpiece for me, though, and so far my favorite song of the year by a wide margin, is the first single, "The Message". |
 | | Holidays in Eden had a couple b-sides, too, the churning "How Can It Hurt" and the lilting (if sinister) acoustic lullaby "A Collection", but the US edition of the album included both of them, so they don't really count to me any more. |
