More crackpot philosophizing and juvenile fiction from loony Scotsman Derek Dick, ex of Marillion. His melodies remain a saving grace, though. Amazing cover of Thunderclap Newmans “Something In the Air” too

5.0 out of 5 stars Fish is still in fine form,
After he left Marillion when they are the best modern prog band, he gave us a great solo album: Internal Exile his second solo album; great words and music. All Marillion fans must have Fishs 2nd solo album, he is the modern prog greatest talent.
———————————————————-
5.0 out of 5 stars Fishs Best Solo Recording,
A wonderful album with engaging lyrics and great music. This is the kind of recording you can listen to over and over without tiring of it. All of you Marillion fans out there, if you havent already found this, you must do so. You will be very pleasently surprised. The title track is a thought-provoking commentary on the state of Scotland today that you cant help but sing along with. A must-have for any Marillion and Fish fan.
“A lion sleeps in a tenement close, in a country that is tired and deaf to its roar.”
It contains perhaps his strongest post Marillion song in “Credo”. At the time, Fish was struggling with his old record company (EMI), trying to retrace some of his musical roots and rediscovering “Scottish Nationalism.” All of these themes surface somewhere on this record. It is probably the most eclectic (and easiest to get into) selection that the scaled-one has ever put out. It has some very fine lyrics, musicianship, production and songwriting scattered all over it. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good, enjoyable release from Mr. Dick,
All through high school and college I was a huge fan of Marillion, so I was crushed when Fish left the band. I love his lyrics and storytelling ability. At that time it was difficult to get Marillion releases due to where I live, so Fish albums were scarce. Internal Exile was the first Fish album I got. Internal Exile has two of my favorite Fish songs, Shadowplay and Just Good Friends. Also, the album as a whole reminds me of Clutching At Straws(my favorite Marillion album). The playing on the album is very strong.
Song Highlights include: Shadowplay, Credo, Just Good Friends, Lucky and Internal Exile.

Internal Exile continues Fish’s tradition of great storytelling and is simply a great piece of progressive rock.
———————————————————
5.0 out of 5 stars Saving grace for Marillion Fans,
The best thing for Marillion fans who are sick of the new and “improved” version of the band. Fish returns with his best work since Misplaced Childhood and offers up some real ear candy.
———————————————————
5.0 out of 5 stars Its like this…,
you either Love FISH or you don’t. its that simple.
He strteches out on the excellent opening track SHADOWPLAY and takes the listener on a good ride for the next 50 or so minutes.
I love FISH as a performer. He doesn’t care about the trappings of the music biz. He does his own thing in his own time. Support this much maligned and underappreciated artist while serving yourself to an enjoyable musical experience.
