Just today I was listening to their first album, script for a jester's tear. In my opinion this album achieves the cohesiveness that the other lacks both lyrically and musically and at the same time contains their famous single Kayleigh. Even if you don't like prog, if you like rock and the 80's sound you should try this album.

This album is full of suites... and it's a totally sweeeet album. Ambitious and sprawling, yet somehow streamlined and compact. Challenging yet listenable. Complex yet hummable. Marillion somehow bring together seemingly mutually exclusive musical foci in a progressive masterpiece.
