Originally released in 1991, Holidays In Eden was Marillion"'s sixth studio album and second with Steve Hogarth on lead vocals. Their previous album and first with Hogarth, Season"'s End, was written fairly quickly, leaning on a large amount of material already being written prior to Hogarth"'s arrival. Holidays In Eden brought about a different challenge to the band"'s new line-up, having to start from scratch with this new dynamic, which they talk about extensively within the book and documentary in the 3CD/Blu-ray deluxe edition. The band faced their greatest commercial pressure yet from EMI, who wanted a couple radio-friendly singles. It set the path for pop-friendly Chris Neil to produce the album, who still desired, along with the band, for the rest of the album to be quintessentially Marillion. Holidays In Eden is a scintillating, compelling rock album, with tracks such as The Party and This Town effortlessly accompanying singles like No-One Can and Dry Land. The essay and band interviews by Rich Wilson in the book, alongside the documentary ""Pain And Heaven"" on the Blu-ray, provide a fascinating insight into the different writing process, the dynamic between the band and producer Chris Neil, and Marillion navigating record label commercial pressures to produce such a captivating album.
