 Topic: Two 2009 long epics
Posted: December 14 2010 at 05:28 |
|
In 2009 we got two extremely long (what doesn't necessarily mean great) epics by two famous and popular bands. So pick your option!
I definitely prefer Whirlwind in this pair and unfortunately find last PT studio effort rather empty, heartless and unspiring, especially compared with their last great albums.

Both good/great albums, but I don't consider them as one epic; not at all. What Steven Wilson was trying to say when he described their album like that was that it's a concept album (both lyrically and musically).
The longest epic I've heard from 2009 was that from Big Big Train's album (over 20 minutes).

The Incident. Whirlwind is about nothing.

I like them both, but in some ways The Incident is a bit more intriguing, so it get's my vote this time. The Whirlwind could do with about 15 minutes of editing.
