CLOSURE/CONTINUATION

this album is somehow confusing because it brings the old porcupine tree fans, but also their last 4 albums music loving fans. if you enjoy more the last porcupine tree albums, then this albums is a 50% of your joy,,,but the old fans will also only enjoy it about 50%. fans of porcupine tree from the beginning of their season and the end of their incident album,,well, those ones will enjoy the album at their fullest. i think the album was made too fast, with less arrangements and thoughts,,,,just like it was announcing another departed and this album is their game over because steven wilson doesn't see porcupine tree at his fullest desire, since he likes more of the steven wilson project which in my opinion is a mistake shown in this album. harridan is by far the best track and i which the all album could be more like that track. maybe we dream in the near future to have steven wilson playing in a single band with his best players: Gavin Harrison-Richard Barbieri-Guthrie Govan- Nick Beggs-steven wilson, and from where, all the music they make in studio they could separate and distribute within both audiences. with the same band, one year we would have porcupine tree and the next steven wilson played by the same players who plays both concepts extremely well. it would be the first time something to happen like that. i love old, new porcupine tree, but also steven wilson since he is, and always been a genius behind all of this. we keep talking how good gavin is, but without steven nothing like this would happen in the first place.i hope they come to portugal but for 250 euros a ticket. 1.
