The album Popular Music by Marillion is an impressive collection of songs that showcases the band's musical prowess and lyrical depth. The album features a range of different styles and influences, from the soaring rock anthems of "The New Kings" and "Living in F E A R" to the more introspective ballads of "The Leavers" and "White Paper". Throughout the album, the band's musicianship is on full display, with intricate guitar work, dynamic drumming, and soaring vocals that create a powerful and immersive listening experience.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The New Kings", which features a driving rhythm and powerful vocals that build to an epic climax. The song's lyrics are also particularly poignant, addressing themes of political corruption and the struggle for power. Another standout track is "Living in F E A R", which features a haunting melody and emotional vocals that capture the feeling of living in uncertain times.
