Album of the Day

Marillion: Brave. Not only is this Marillion's masterpiece, it is one of the top albums of the 1990s, prog or other. It's based on an actual event, the discovery of a catatonic girl walking on the giant suspension bridge that connects England and Wales, apparently contemplating suicide. Dark and powerful, it explores the possible reasons why this girl ended up like that. It also takes on the media that feeds the sensationalism around things like this. A classic, pure and simple.
