FEAR OF A BLANK PLANET

Unfortunately I don´t like the last song of the album.

This is the best album I´ve heard in the last 2 years. Steven Wilson has developed a sound that is a little heavier than the other records but without eliminating the amazing moments of beauty that he gave us in every record (Maybe Steven has developed a more Mikael Åkerfeldt-ish sound).

Fear of a blank Planet

The opening track and also the one that has a video to promote the album. This song it´s like hearing a normal PT song but it has something else, I don´t know exactly what is (I compare that song with Blackest Eyes but the feeling is different). 4.8 of 5

My ashes

This track is soft. It´s the Steven Wilson´s trademark. A moment of beauty. I really appreciate the vocals on this track. The music makes you feel like floating. 4.6 of 5

Anesthetize

Just listen to this song... You won´t be disappointed. A complete masterpiece. This is one of the tracks that makes you feel happy that there are still geniuses making music. It has 2 soft parts and an almost- headbanging part. In this track is where I feel more the influence of Mikael Åkerfeldt. But take in consideration that Steven have influenced Mikael. So, it´s like concatenating both geniuses. 5 of 5

Sentimental

It´s like My Ashes... a moment of beauty after a moment of brutality... The song is incredible and fits perfectly well tho the concept of the album. 4.5 of 5

Way out of here

Incredible track. The vocals are amazing. I´ve seen that in this forum the people don´t talk about the lyrics a lot. But I recommend you to hear the lyrics of this album (Steven Wilson said that he was inspired by the issues talked in Pink Floyd´s Dark Side of the Moon and Radiohead´s Ok Computer). 4.8 of 5

Sleep Together

This song is the only one that I don´t like. Lyrically it fits well, but I don´t like the music. It´s like an ambient song. 3.5 of 5
