TO THE BONE

I still can't figure out how one of the brightest minds in progressive rock today released an album like To the Bone. Completely irrelevant, uninspired, and to top it all, overproduced!

In a way I can understand Steven Wilson's attempt to get out of his comfort zone. After three complex albums, very progressive and following a more or less homogeneous path, I understand that I would like to do something different.

But this collection of pop-rock songs with electronic glimpses leaves me very cold, except in some (rare) moments in which the genius that we all know that Steven Wilson carries within emerges.

A full-blown disappointment.

Best Tracks: Pariah (good vocal melodies), The Same Asylum as Before (although it contains a riff copied from the song Another Way by Savatage) and Detonation (intense instrumental interlude)

My Rating: **
