Marillion’s F.E.A.R. (F*** Everyone and Run) is a sprawling and deeply political suite, dressed in the band’s signature lush prog rock fabric. It's an album that doesn't hide its anger, but channels it through Steve Hogarth’s poetic lens and the band’s soaring, cinematic arrangements. There’s grandeur here, but it’s in service of clarity, not indulgence. The band takes its time with each movement layered with urgency and disillusionment, grappling with a world slipping further from grace. It's a protest album that aches with sorrow.
