Yeah, me too.Thumbs Up

This album sounds a lot like King crimson to me. I guess it must have rubbed off when remastering those early KC albums. Excellent!

OK, all I have to say is "Remainder The Black Dog" could be the coolest tune Wilson has done with or without Porcupine Tree. Holy cats!

GfD in mp3 format download is currently only $6.99 on Amazon. Just a heads up.


That's over 80 minutes of music...not a bad deal at all.

Definitely. Deform to Form a Star is also impossibly good.

CD is only $10 as well. Pretty damn good deal if you ask me for two CDs.

Whoa, the deal for the CDs is clearly better. Damn, that's a bargain.

Listened to this again this morning.  I think this is SW's masterpiece.

I think this is definitely SW's best, but I personally only like a couple of tracks. I feel kind of guilty :(

I like it, but it's not as good as any of those you listed. In PA terms, it's still a solid 4 star album, but IMO it lacks coherence and focus - again, compared to those you listed (especially The Incident).

Well, definitely better than The Incident (although putting your genitals into a running blender is better than TI), and probably better than Fear....and I enjoy it more on a whole than his first album. Only listened once, and definitely seems like a grower, but as of right now don't know if I'd say it's better than Deadwing.
 
Not in my top 5 as of now. But will keep listening.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.
