I already said it was a great album. But after hearing it around the 5th time, (now around 30), I agree, I think it is his best to date! The High Wood, and it’s 5 parts are sheer genius! And what a powerful statement about “possibly the worst war of all !”
I just love cd’s that get better every time you play them! Fish, (D.D) You are the man!
Fan For life,

My great grandfather served in the 48th highlanders in WWI so high wood was especially interesting to me. I found this album to rival misplaced childhood both lyrically and musically. I hope this is just the beginning of another journey with the big man. Well done!

An excellent review and accurate in my opinion.I thought 13th star was a cracking album,and would be difficult to better,but Fish has certainly done so with some classic tracks and superb musicianship.One listen and I was hooked.Will be brilliant live.

A Feast Of Consequences is Fish’s best album. And that means it is really good.

All his earlier 9 solo albums have very strong songs, Fish is at his best if he throws in his emotions and feelings, if he sings on topics he really cares about, and when he ties multiple songs together to a concept. Like “vigil”, “shadowplay”, “mr1470″, “long cold day”, “plague of ghosts”. The songs on Feast link back to the best of Fish style and penmanship and his team of musicians (Elisabeth Antwi for instance), but matured and beautifully delivered. In the notes Fish says it already; The songs are not too personal for him and thus all the more personal for us. The title song alone, arguably one of his best songs ever, is enough reason to get the album.

You are running out of time, you are running out of music, you are running out of reasons not to buy this album.

Very good. I heard elements of Jethro Tull in there….and a bit of GAZA, from Marillion’s latest CD (the heavier riffs). Fish is such an awesome guy. Just keeps on doing his thing….

I had prepared myself to like this album, but was hesitant to put too much faith in Fish’s vocals, which we all know are not at their peak levels of the glory years. I need not have worried. Fish has assembled a great song writing team and they have created a complete album of fantastic material that is very careful to place the big man’s voice in ranges he can still power out when needed, and softly sing very musically when needed. He’s come close to his Sunsets On Empire release in terms of excellent material matched very well indeed to his vocals and poetry. It might even be better than that late 90′s work. Well done gentlemen – this is one that will grace my stereo for years to come. An absolute must have for Fish and Marillion fans, and I truly believe this release might help to introduce Fish to audiences who’ve never had the good fortune to have discovered him before. Wondrous melodies, straight ahead rockers, and other very approachable tracks for the masses, mixed together with complexities and enough progginess to satisfy a large audience! Each listen has me liking it more and more. Thanks Fish!

I have listened to this album and then listened again and it gets better each time you hear it. The music has depth and the lyrics have soul.

Excellent review and I agree wholeheartedly that this is one of his finest recordings.
