PLEASE DON'T TOUCH!

I remeber I listened to this album long time ago, and it didn't impress me at all. When Steven Wilson's remastered 5.1 version appeared, I decided to give it another try: maybe I missed something becasue I wasn't a prog head when I listened it in the past? Well, my impression didn't change. A good half of this album (first half, to be sure) is not a prog at all, just kind of AOR/pop-rock (and... Motawn), with a few nice moments when Steve plays acoustic guitar. Only last four tracks save this album from being "one star" opus. They are on par with Steve's first solo album, which is still his best, in my opinion. So we have 15 minutes of very goood to excellent music out of 38 minutes disk. 2.5 stars for me. I don't think it deserves Mr. Wilson's 5.1 treatment.
