A splendid whimsical neo prog debut clearly showing its influence from Gabriel era Genesis. The vocals delivered by Fish are enthusiastic and soar over the mix. Steve Rothery demonstrates skill on guitar however Mark Kelly really shines on keys to deliver the overall retro feel to this record.

Marillion's debut is a great release that often does not get much credit. There is lots of creativity both in the music and the lyrics. Fish is such an inspired frontman both expressively in the tone of his voice and the lyrics he pens. Script for a Jester's Tear sets the scene of the next 3 albums that will keep the Fish era in the pantheon of the 80s prog rock.

Their debut is definitely a great record. Even if sometimes the low budget production doesn't help, songs like He Knows You Know, Chelsea Monday or Forgotten Sons are among the best music this band ever made. Absolute classic.

From the opening whispers of the title track to the final wails of Forgotten Sons, Fish and co. have put together perhaps the finest debut album, musically and lyrically, of all time. I challenge any and all to find one of similar workmanship and penning.
