Somewhere Else

Somewhere Else is the fourteenth studio album by British rock band Marillion, released in 2007. Stephen Dalton of Uncut, describing Somewhere Else in a three-star review, stated that "some tracks chime and soar like Coldplay. Others are just a post-rock whimper away from Radiohead". Dalton concluded that "Marillion deserve a fair hearing". Richard Mann of Guitarist was less impressed, claiming "with its bombastic production, meandering instrumentation and anthemic AOR choruses it's no doubt precisely the sort of thing owners of the other 13 albums by the band will lap up. But for the innocent bystander, there's really nothing to see here...Steve Rothery's guitars often seem weighed down with unnecessary effects from the Museum of Abandoned Guitar Sounds: the solos, usually a strong point, seem tossed off and inconsequential...in places, the album's lyrics beggar belief" and concluded "on Faith, the barely disguised aping of McCartney's Blackbird fingerpicking offers the final proof that there's little invention left in the tank."
