Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Saw Marillion on Real to Reel Tour in 1984 and only owned this album at the time, played (I believe) all the tracks off this. I am a fan of the Fish era 8 minute plus epics, can happily sit through the 20 odd minutes of Grendel so this is a favourite of mine. Preferred to Script, superceded by Misplaced Childhood but this is the Marillion album I find myself most going back to now. (Edited)
An underrated album in my opinion. Particularly fond of Punch and Judy and the opening track. An album that grows with more listens. At a time when Genesis and Yes pursued a more pop based sound, well done to Marillion for continuing to fly the Prog flag through the eighties and beyond. (Edited)
Good stuff all around; no duds in sight. Each song is memorable, dramatic, and powerful. I think Fish was at his peak here; he mellowed out with the next two releases.
Marillion is an English band, pillar of Progressive Rock and quite underrated ... Their album "Fugazi" is a flagship album of Progressive Rock. Less impressive than their debut album, "Fugazi" remains a complete album and quite interesting at the level of experiments. The cover art is one of the best in Prog Rock. Finally, I have never been a fan of this group: I like some albums (as for Rush), but I will never mention it in my favorite bands.
8/10
Best track: "Assassing"

Is there a bad or weak album in the Fish-Era of Marillion ? No , there is none...
I guess every Fan has his own opinion over which one is the best . It's like being asked
''Name your favorite child'' .
Every Fish-era album rotates in my playlist since the mid-80's .... Timeless masterpieces throughout ! (Edited)
