Holidays In Eden was the sixth studio album by the British band Marillion, released in 1991. It was their second with vocalist Steve Hogarth and was regarded by many fans as a setback from their previous albums due to its mainstream-oriented sound and songwriting. It was recorded after the Seasons End tour which had lasted almost a year. Despite the band's obvious efforts to create a recording more appealing to mainstream media, thus attracting new fans, Holidays In Eden could not compete regarding sales or chart positions with the band's first four studio albums from the 1980s.
