Sitting down and listening with the picture book. Messed me up, Index lyrics are on a page after Track One which was combined with credits for the music for Belle De Jour.   It's pretty cool though, because if I sit down with the music and flip through the pages of images a few times, the images will come into my mind on future listenings of the music. I've hear Steven (and others) lament the i-pod and the supposed loss of the album sit down and listening experience. He's made a good effort with this one. Or maybe I'm just trying too hard to justify the $100 I spent to get it.

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

nahh it was an indiependent record store...so didn't follow the rules of the corperate regime.....what you call "wrong music" is a very biased approach and a tad naughty to judge me like that.......people like what they like and no one is right or wrong.....i was just saying it doesn't do much for me....and hey i maybe out of favour with peoples opinions on this album.....but i have seen other comments on other pages saying" well i dont like this" album/artist so i dont see what the problem is...its just a matter of opinion......horses for courses and all that.....christ if people are going to take my opinion to seriously...they should get out more.  and as a DJ in my field of what i do and where i play.....and i've played a few festy's in my time....i play exactly what i like....only the other week i played"shallow" by porcupine tree in a rock club.....went down well.....and i dont do request.....thats for kids

How about, you've obviously been listening to the wrong music all that time that it has so dulled you that you can't appreciate the best album that ever was or ever will be?

Finally listened to the whole album and wow, it's quite moving! I still need to listen to it a few more times to really let it sink in, but so far, overall impressions are great!

Who in the hell said that? Steven's around my age and makes music that speaks to me. It's a good album, no more no less.

So many times I have heard that sort of thing, especially at the time when FOABP and Insurgentes were released within, what, a year of each other. And in India, especially, he has a massive following. There's not much awareness of prog overall, so somebody making so many epics is already God.
|
Massive compared to what? Other prog bands or massive overall? I do not think he has a massive following base - his followers though are very passionate about this stuff :-). Yours truly too!
|
In absolute terms, no bands other than Iron Maiden, Metallica, Nirvana and GNR have a massive following in India so yeah, I do mean in comparison to other prog bands. PT is one of the few prog rock bands that people with only a casual interest in ROCK , let alone prog, are aware of.

Steven is one of my favourite modern musicians, bar none. GfD is a great album, and probably my favourite of the year (though Heritage is veeeery close). I haven't received my deluxe edition yet, but I couldn't wait, and so I bought the standard CD edition in the shop as well! :D
Deform To Form A Star is just amazing. One of the highlights. Sectarian, Postcard, No Part of Me, Raider II, and Track One are my other faves.
This could almost be a new PT album. To me, this feels a more logical progression from the Incident, than from Insurgentes. If the next PT sounds like GfD, I won't be disappointed.
I ordered the vinyl of this immediately after hearing the cd. LOL. Great disc.

I see, it's all the Indian's fault. This album seems to me to be a rather personal one. There's a lot revisiting of themes he's delved into before.

I am not a big advocate of Mr.Wilson's work and have cringed on occasion when he is referred to as the saviour/messiah of prog, though I do respect his solid focus on songwriting as opposed to technical w**k. And....I have never been blown away by any of his work this way. This was a completely unexpected approach at least for me from Wilson and he pulled it off too. The tracks have a steady undercurrent of tension and menace and are built up and paced beautifully and purposefully....not nearly as much of alt prog dribble as in some previous albums (PT). If it is voted album of the year, I will happily agree.
