Radiation is a 1998 album by Marillion. A self-produced effort, the band set out to make a quick album due to money and time limits and this somewhat shows on the album. On Radiation, Marillion aimed for a more "poppy" approach to their writing and many fans regard this CD as weak.
The only single from this album is "These Chains".
As Marillion's tenth studio album, the number 10 can be seen in the "io" in both "Marillion" and "Radiation" on the cover.
