Is this it, their masterpiece?A personal favorite TPT album for me is Little Man that despite the incredibly dark subject matter (the loss of a baby and the tsunami of emotions surrounding that event) really draws me in. Little Man is raw, gut-wrenching, incredible music. I sense a similar dynamic to this album too; albeit without the backdrop of personal tragedy. A lot of The Pineapple Thief's output flirts with greatness but never quite hits that mark. But with Dissolution, I believe, Soord and company have found that sweet spot- unforgettable melodies and a flawless listening. It's not really progressive though, and that's OK. For a band that's been around a long time, Dissolution sounds surprisingly fresh. I assume the infusion of of Gavin Harrison talent into a true band member/collaborator for TPT plays a large role in this. Things that strike me: Perfect production. Painstaking detail to each song. Absence of filler, every song is good. It's evident that Bruce Soord really did give this one the attention this album portrays now. Put on a good set of headphones, pour a glass of decent wine, close your eyes, sit back and take this one in? you won't be disappointed. This is it; their masterpiece.
