Happiness Is the Road

As Ars Technica reported, Marillion is going to release the new album for free. I imagine this will be the 1 CD version. Even though I paid full price for this last winter, I'm happy to pay and let others hear it for free. I have high hopes for the full 2 Cd album, with tracks like Real Tears For Sale, which ranks a classic pure-Marillion song.

Ok - it is the full 2Cd album, but I thank Marillion for contacting those who pre-paid for the album (financed production, really) with download links so they could be among the first to hear it. I'm not convinced that giving it away will help improve their financial gain, but I guess we'll consider this a great experiment and see what happens. Of course I did download it right away and am quite enjoying it, but I'll save my full review until I can hear the CD at full volume and quality.
