“Most musicians strive to create music that taps into emotions more significant than words can describe. On The Edge of a Lost and Lonely World masterfully achieves this by blending diverse influences into a singular, evocative expression of vulnerability and introspection.”
★★★★ FAR OUT MAGAZINE (Album of the Week)
“Once again employing guest vocalists, this album finds Marshall further enhance his credentials as an excellent songwriter and hugely creative force. The sublime ‘Too Many Rivals’ featuring Harp’s Tim Smith is a contender for song of the year... a truly gorgeous track.”
★★★★ Echoes & Dust
“Listening to this is like watching a speeding train pass; the power of its moving presence blows you away…..” ★★★★ - XS Noize
“A properly wrought album of dynamic contrasts, its singers fully committed to Marshall’s sense of big-rock drama... Marshall himself takes vocals for the brooding ‘Lonely Night’ before instrumental closer ‘The End’ strikes a sorrowed yet cinematic note in tune with the record’s sense of serenity amid sadness.”
★★★★ Record Collector
“A dark triumph, recalling Cousteau’s grandeur and Sparklehorse’s intensity.”
★★★★ Classic Pop
“As its title suggests, On The Edge Of A Lost And Lonely World is bleak, reflective but ultimately very moving: an album of defiant resolve that’s infused with more than a hint of poignancy.”
★★★★ Rock’n’Reel
“Creating a swirling dark energy with an almost filmic soundscape Rob Marshall is a unique traveller on the landscape. The general mood is dark and haunting but also exhilarating, and like all great music, it’s both euphoric and melancholic at the same time.”
Louder Than War
“Rather like The Cure’s ‘Pornography’, On The Edge...launches in at fever pitch intensity with ‘The Beginning (My God)’ and scarcely relents for a torrid 52 minutes of gothic FX’d guitar architecture and thunderous beats. At its most hopeful, the Ed Harcourt-voiced ‘Happy’ infuses the infectious oomph of Lanegan’s ‘Gargoyle’, and the mellow arpeggiations of Dave Gahan showcase ‘Brother’ bring welcome fraternal warmth.”
MOJO
“An expansive and inventive rock record.”
