"Ok, first of all I don't know what your all talking about. The Program is one of the best albums I've ever heard.. with soaring melodies, driving guitars, excellent lyrics... songs like The Smile, Comeback, Miyoko Hideaway, Sparkle, Powder Room Plan just so do it for me. Its britpop with a touch of glam thrown in. Very Dramatic.. very emotional. I personally prefer it to This World and Body."

Good, but not as expected

"If you think that Program sounds like This World and Body, you're wrong. Program lacks of the creativity and power of Marion's first album: guitars are less distorted and the production seems to be less elaborated. It's obvious that Marion were short of ideas during the writing/recording of this album. Still, there are some good songs (Strangers, Smile, Comeback, Sparkle). If you're a Marion fan, you must definetely have to buy it; but if you only like brit pop and This World and Body didn't turn your world upside down, you can save that money and buy something else."
