EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD Ep 129 - Sounds Pt 2: Gaza
Added 2023-11-10 14:38:38 +0000 UTCThere's no way we can talk about Marillion's Sounds That Can't Be Made without discussing the epic track Gaza... and there's no way of discussing Gaza without discussing certain events that are happening right now in the Middle East. While we did our best to avoid controversy, and steer away from touchy subjects, you should know us better by now...

Finally catching up, really good episode, love the music, and I don't like politics, but I wish the war, would just end, it makes me sad, in this day and age, counties are just boming the crap out of each other...it ain't right x

2023-11-13 09:11:36 +0000 UTCThis comment feels rather glib now but I think you made your points as well as can be done in these situations. . Anyway, I'm with you Paul, I love sections of Gaza but it feels very stop/start to me and lacking any real flow which is always a danger with the long songs. I know lots of fans love them but I always let out a little internal groan when I hear about long songs on upcoming albums as for every classic (TSE, Ocean Cloud) there's one that feels disjointed (Gaza, El Dorado). . In terms of album order, I think I'd have put Gaza last on the album. I think one of the great successes of AHBID is the track ordering. There, most of the shorter songs are early on which kind of leads you into the album a little more smoothly I think.
