What people think about Grendel:

• If only Marillion still made music like this. You can tell how much of an influence Fish was on the band. Every song in his era was gold, now with Hogath it's all very hit or miss, usually miss. He's got a great voice, but he's no Fish. 
• The emotions in this song are so real, the changes in rhythm and melody very much follow the voice as if he sung them as well. I started loving this a few years ago and I still do:) 
• There is no doubt that this is an awesome song, Marillion had their own thing whilst paying er homage to many. It is incredibly brave to open with this song (I never saw them live) BUT times have changed an aweful lot since it came out when I first bought "B Sides"- like a comment below it is slightly remniscent of the little people of Stone'enge from Spinal Tap- However goddamn great song. Garden Party and many on Fugazi also ROCK Go on yersel Fash! 
• maybe the best song of marillion. 
• Marillion...is great and FISH is the best..... 
• Saw them play tis Live in Plymouth in 1983..AWESOME they dropped it from all tours after that..and The Web coincdentely 
• I have actually heard them play this live (1983 Reading Festival, when they opened the set with it, last time they even played it live). 
• best marillion song by a mile awsome they played it live 
• Why there's no more songs like this? 
• Script for a Jester's Tear was the first Marillion' song I heard in my life
