With Fish out of the picture, Harogath led Marillion was still trying to form a distinctive sound, and show the prog world that they were for real. Taking on a project as major as Brave was a huge risk for Marillion at this point. This is an intricate concept album with very serious subject matter. The group really moves away from the Fish sound, forging a somewhat more accessible, occasionally heavier, generally more psychadelic identity for themselves. While Brave could have left this incarnation of the band being viewed as a pretentious, overly ambitious bunch of wannabes in a hopeless strugle to re-capture their past glory, it succeeds gloriously, overtaking most of their more highly regarded early work. While his voice seems less suited for prog than Fish, H. delivers a powerful, emotional performance on Brave, supporting the desolate, emotional music perfectly. Which brings me to mentioning that if you aren't a fan of depressing music, stear very clear of this release. And if you are, get it now. The lyrics, in particular, work gorgeously. While not as articulate as something Fish would have written, they do the job of getting across the desolation going through one's mind when they're at this point, as well as do a tremendous job of setting the scene, two things very important in a concept album of this nature.

The songs themselves are, for the most part, fantastic as well (along with the concept being well executed). From the opener "Bridge" which sets the tone of the album, to the somewhat surprisingly uplifting closer "Made Again", this is a consistent, engaging listen. There are a couple of poor tracks though; "Hard as Love" is an annoying, dangerously glam rock-ish song, and I'm not a fan of "Paper Lies" either. However, songs like "Living With the Big Lie" and "Brave" and the suites "Goodbye To All That" and "The Great Escape" (which delivers the albums heart wrenching climax) make these poor songs more than worth sitting through. At first, it was said suites that would generally lose my attention, but if you focus on them 100%, you'll realize that they're gorgeous, fantastic pieces of music. Brave may not be an easy listen, but if you give it repeated chances and give it the nessecary time to grow on you, you'll discover that this is truly a great modern prog album.

Line-up: Steve Hogarth (vocals, keyboards, percussion), Mark Kelly (keyboards), Ian Mosley (drums), Steve Rothery (guitars), Pete Trewavas (basses). With Tony Halligan (Uillean pipes), The Liverpool Philharmonic (cellos and flutes) and Darryl Way (orchestral arrangements). Digitally remastered to 24 bits, features a bonus CD with over 40 minunes of music and a 28 page booklet.
