Yep he has put out three masterpieces in a row imo. Impossible to keep that going but he has earnt the right to have a failure if that is what it turns out to be.

Not much love for Insurgentes it appears? Surprising really. I find that to be excellent, especially as it was his solo debut. No Twilight Within The Courts of the Sun is surely one of his best ever songs.

Significant Other
amazing track imo

The psychedelic pop song of Insurgentes! One of my favorites too, especially from Insurgentes.
This new album... I bought the pre-order deluxe set of The Raven, one of my cherished possessions and well, I'm glad I'm broke this year  Prog-pop can be done well, (a commentor on Youtube noted the similarities to Todd Rundgren in this new song (though I don't see the similarities...) ), this side of Steven Wilson I'm disappointed in.
At least he's trying something new, though. That was the downfall of Ziltoid 2. After Townsend trying a new style EACH album, Ziltoid 2 sounded like everything else he did before.
I guess it's a lose-lose scenario for Wilson

The concept seems interesting and more nuanced than most of SW's work. The music does not.

Sometimes I think it's just his opinionated side that just has to say something ... otherwise I keep thinking that we would be hearing just music and sounds, and no words.
i don't know ... maybe I'm getting old ... silence is nice and golden many times and "rock" music is getting very boring, specially when you hear someone/something like this.
And yes ... I want more PT, and less Steven Wilson! But I doubt his ego can handle that! |
Oh well, I have enjoyed Steven Wilson solo much more than Porcupine Tree (except perhaps for Coma Divine, which was really wonderful). However, I guess we'll have to see what he comes up with his next solo album...

If I didn't (at least) tolerate silly lyrics, I could never be a Prog fan.

The title track is the popiest I've heard from him since PT's good days before In Absentia. I wasn't blown away, but quite enjoyed it.

Steven needs to quit putting out so many albums.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The song that was leaked the other day was certainly quite bad. Hopefully the low point of the album.

Not a huge fan of the cover but the third vid certainly sounded more enticing than the first.

One of Swilson's best artworks to date.
Up there with Deadwing and Lightbulb Sun. Absolutely love it immediately.
Tracklist has some nice variety with lengths and i'd love to hear the shorter tracks.
A for sure buy on release date. May even pre-order it if it has some goodies.
