Marillion have produced many superb albums my favourite Marillion track ever is not off this album but 3 of my top 5 tracks are There will never be another Marbles The best of the best from the best band Anyone wondering Incubus will never be surpassed ❤
Wow. I bought the deluxe edition with my name in the credits. I can't believe it was that long ago. I'm glad I helped make possible one of the greatest albums of all time (and possibly space).
So did I. But what h says: it kind of does. Was a 24 year old student then. Now 44 with a couple of jobs and relationships behind me. It is very strange...
We had moved house. It was a bit of an uncertain period. Between jobs, freelancing. I drove back two hours to the old house to clean the place. 'Marbles' had arrived and filled the post box: perfect timing. I was to give back the key later. On the drive back across the hills I listened to the album on the car's CD player. It was quite a step forward from wonderful 'Anoraknophobia', into several different directions. Letting the group play the soundtrack to the next phase in my life. What an uplifting experience.
Marbles is the best album of the 'H' era, although all of them are great - It's the one I keep going back to over and over - 20 years young and still sounds fantastic. Keep it going Marillion!
... as soon as they touch their musical instruments, something good comes out all the time! I wish there were more bands that actually make a 'difference; in people's lives, because most songs are about people's lives! Happy 20th anniversary! 🎉🎂🎸🎶
Thank you so much for all the great music over the years. Marillion is my favorite band and I'm infinitely grateful for finding it years ago. Ocean Cloud was the first Marillion song I listened and I knew at that moment that what I found was a marvelous treasure. Happy 20th Birthday, Marbles.
Wow ! I almost fainted when I read that Marbles was 20 yo. I saw the band twice on this tour and still have a picture with H and I taken after the show on the stairs of the Élysée Montmartre... Such a great memory. Thx Marillion ❤😁
"Marbles" is one of my favorites that just happens to coincide with the 60th anniversary of my birth. It just takes me on an incredible journey every time I listen to it. Thank you for all of the years of wonderful music and stories.
I was so proud of this album I bought an extra copy to send to a friend who hadn't heard of the band for a long time and he was utterly impressed by it. He even came to see it played in London with me.
Great memories - I remember buying You're Gone for a fan in Canada to bump it up the charts. Also remember the secret quiz they released online which would release clips of each track when you answered the questions.
For me it's their best album by some stretch, so many extraordinary moments. I just wish i could relive the thrill of hearing it again in its entirety for the first time
One of my favourite albums ever. One of my favourite rituals is to load up prog playlists while cooking or doing chores around the house and The Invisible Man is absolutely sublime for this
Sorry, could not comment earlier, had to re-listen to the album first. And I confirm: it is a good album! Brave still holds the most special place in my heart, but Marbles is good, yes!
Perfect album,, beautiful songs like Fantastic Place,, amazing songs like Ocean Cloud. I still consider Afraid of Sunlight Marillion `s best, but Marbles is one of the best.
Absolute CLASSIC album. This was the first time I'd seen Marillion "LIVE",went to Leeds Uni with 3 friends. Many memorable moments,for a start there was a car parked outside,Leeds Uni,with the Marbles album cover painted on it (wish I'd taken a photo)...when the band were coming on stage the audience welcomed them rapturously FOR FIVE MINUTES...and then we had the enormous pleasure of a TRULY WONDERFUL performance by five consummate professionals. WOW !! It was a REALLY SPECIAL night.
I'd been aware of Marillion beforehand, but Marbles was the first album that I properly listened to and I've been a fan ever since. It has some tough competition, but It's still my favourite after all these years
HBD Marbles, amazing standout album. Saw the tour in Cincinnati Ohio, still have the shirt and the memories. Opening with Invisible Man -!!!!! Greatest knock your head back opener. Just wow.
❤ Tenho 60 anos, e essa banda é uma das minhas bandas de cabeceira de cama...suas canções me acompanham há anos nos melhores e piores momentos da minha vida...obrigado "rapazes"🎉🎉🎉🎉
Monumental masterpiece with tracks I never thought could have been written or performed like Neverland or the invisible man…. No other band could ever give me that much like the lads from Aylesbury 😊 Happy anniversary
This was the first album where I was aware of the crowdfunding campaign soon enough that I could have contributed to it, and I remember debating whether I should. I did not, and then the album was released and I felt so sad that I had not contributed. It would have been so excellent to have my name included in any way for that album. There was the single-CD version, and then the double-CD version which is so great. I can't imagine anyone preferring the single-CD version over the full version.
Still remember the soundclips the band released whilst making it, I played them over and over and certainly wasn’t disappointed when the finished album dropped 😂❤
One of your finest. Very important album in my life too as I went through a bit of a crisis that year. The gig at Astoria was first gig after I left rehab actually. Fantastic Place is an incredible song.
What is marillions best album there all truly amazing beautiful outstanding,but this has become the album I give to people who don't know who what where when marillion are and what they do ....never had anyone say but amazing comments as they start there journey of discovery to great Britains best ever band ....
This album was my entry back to Marillion after my hiatus from the late 80s. When I heard Marbles 20 years ago, it made me ask myself why I didn't revisit the band's music. I missed the awesome music the band made in the time between the late 80's until Marbles. I'm so happy this album dragged me back in as a fan when Marbles came out, and for all the joy the band has brought to me since! Fish who???
To me personally, their best album of all times.
I confirm
Marillion have produced many superb albums my favourite Marillion track ever is not off this album but 3 of my top 5 tracks are
There will never be another Marbles
The best of the best from the best band
Anyone wondering Incubus will never be surpassed ❤

Looks like the perfect occasion to play again this incredible masterpiece live in its entirety...please!!!
Incredible album. Incredible band.
Now I feel old, thanks
Ocean Cloud ❤
What a stunning song ❤
Marbles is the best album of the 'H' era, although all of them are great - It's the one I keep going back to over and over - 20 years young and still sounds fantastic. Keep it going Marillion!
One of my all-time favourite albums by any artist. Happy 20th anniversary!

Happy 20th anniversary!

Absolutely BRILLIANT album!
My absolute favourite album of all time ❤
Still my favorite marillion album, invisible man is epic 👌
Thank you so much for all the great music over the years. Marillion is my favorite band and I'm infinitely grateful for finding it years ago. Ocean Cloud was the first Marillion song I listened and I knew at that moment that what I found was a marvelous treasure. Happy 20th Birthday, Marbles.
Beautiful, timeless music.
It's one of those albums that just gets better and better with every play. Ageless.
Neverland - one of my all albums favorite...
Wow ! I almost fainted when I read that Marbles was 20 yo. I saw the band twice on this tour and still have a picture with H and I taken after the show on the stairs of the Élysée Montmartre... Such a great memory.

I remember me buying sooooo many copies of Your Gone from Woolworths!
Love it, RIP Da who loved this
The best of the best. Regularly re-listened to.
Beautiful! Love from Germany! My god - 20 years!
Amazing album, hard to believe it has been 20 years. Probably my favourite along with Clutching At Straws.
!Hermoso hermoso album, como todo lo que hace Marillion!!
For me it's their best album by some stretch, so many extraordinary moments. I just wish i could relive the thrill of hearing it again in its entirety for the first time
Still gives me goosebumps. Love it ❤
I have an early version of Marbles, before they expanded the track list. Fortunately, I have most of the newer songs on other albums. Fantastic music!
One of my favourite albums ever. One of my favourite rituals is to load up prog playlists while cooking or doing chores around the house and The Invisible Man is absolutely sublime for this

It still my favorite album from marillion

I got the single disc version version and was in unaware of Ocean Cloud until much later.
I'd been aware of Marillion beforehand, but Marbles was the first album that I properly listened to and I've been a fan ever since. It has some tough competition, but It's still my favourite after all these years
my first ever preorder, and i think you two came to NYC for the first time for album release in upper west side which was wonderful.
HBD Marbles, amazing standout album. Saw the tour in Cincinnati Ohio, still have the shirt and the memories. Opening with Invisible Man -!!!!! Greatest knock your head back opener. Just wow.
The double album edition is a total gem. Still one of my big faves and the one who hooked me.
Thank you for these album 😍 which make me beautiful moments 😊

Their best album, just stunning
when it came out I've been a fanboy for already almost 20y;) What an album!

A milestone indeed!
Holy Crap...20 years already. Fantastic Place.

Marillion Forever Forever Marillion
Great album this I often listen to this brings back some good memories and bad it was a year that I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life..
I have passed on my marbles to my nephews. My last one is this album.

¡Hermoso álbum!
Siete i miei nuovi genesis, dai ragazzi, andate avanti così, fate ancora cose belle ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, Massimo di Brembate bg, Italia.

Love that album
Phenomenal
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ocean Cloud is a top five all-time song for me. Album is top 10.
20 years old ? Im sure it was just released a few years ago 🙃. Its such a great album and Ocean Cloud is still my favorit track.
Adoro
🤟❤
THE BEST ALBUM
Nice

Fave album - but I think all the Dave Meegan produced albums are a cut above
I wish that he would produce them again!!!!
Yes
TEHE BEST ALBUM
20 (t w e n t y) years. o m g
justifiably so, a proper landmark. FWIW, the highpoint in my very humbe opinion.
By the way: a limited Re-Release on colored vinyl signed by the band would be very appreciated, no matter what the price might be ❤
Just Marbelous
Don't Hurt yourself!
Excellent album but Brave is my favourite H album
ou
Come on, it was yesterday...or it's forever young
It was the end of an era. Don’t get me wrong, there have been some amazing songs since then, but not whole albums like that.
FEAR tops it for me.
