I agree Steve.....well played and recorded, and one expects that from Wilson, but the songs simply don't engage me this time around.

Unboxing of the £10,000 Steven Wilson box set..........(money was for charity). The buyer, Alan Lastufka, who lives in Oregon is in the music industry as well.
Pretty sweet!!

Hi,
I had the thought, and I think I posted it here a long time ago, that SW was trying hard to get away from the "trip" stuff of old that PT was known for, and he wanted to make his own direction with pop songs ... and sure enough, the stuff that we heard, sounds like a lot of pop songs to me ... nothing really "new" or "inventive" in those 3 or 4 songs. I'll listen to it, but I'm not putting out money on it at all. I think I'm done with PT and any related work ... now that fame has some of them, they all can do crap ... and everyone will buy it! Not me!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

From the songs I heard it's not my cup of tea but I'm happy that he's put out some product for the faithful in this locked in Covid era.

I am one of those that pre-ordered in March 2020, the signed LP version. Burning Shed sent confirmation product is shipping but I'm good waiting another 2 weeks probably from across the pond for my album.
In general I'm probably not that excited about the album based on the released songs, King Ghost is really good. I'm not sure why the hate, everyone who follows and buys his albums and goes to his live shows knows the direction he has been taking the past 3yrs. Whether the album is good or not is a different issue. At this point I expect it will be 2022 before we see him live again in Seattle.

I don't agree with the above posters. It is pretty terrible, especially for a musician of his caliber. To the Bone was way way way better.

First listen, honestly its not bad. There's some clumsy things about the album, but the songs are pretty memorable, the album is concise and the production is really good. Will have to get more listens under my belt and get a review up. It's certainly not one of the "worst albums ever recorded" according to that 3 sentence review that one reviewer put up before the release.
I didn't like To The Bone, actually think I dig this one more

Just had a first listen. It's not really to my taste, but it's certainty not terrible.

He's getting heaps of abuse on Facebook for this, some from people who preordered it ages ago and some from people who don't like this new direction.
I will give it a listen, but whatever people think about it, he doesn't deserve the level of abuse he's getting.

Wilson's latest album is out, months after it was meant to be released, but delayed by Covid-19.
He's released about half the album the last months, but now we can listen to it in it's entirety.  1. Unself - 1:05 2. Self - 2:55 3. King Ghost - 4:06 4. 12 Things I Forgot - 4:42 5. Eminent Sleaze - 3:52 6. Man of the People - 4:41 7. Personal Shopper - 9:49 8. Follower - 4:39 9. Count of Unease - 6:08 Total length: 41:56 This is the most un-Porcupine Tree/SW Solo (later years)-like album he's released and has probably already stirred the pot and divided fans and listeners. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. I don't know if I will like it, but I like that he is making the music he wants to make and not afraid of threading new paths for himself (even if he is wearing shoes previously worn by others at times).
