As I mentioned previously Alex Lifeson of Rush plays
on Anesthetize the 17 min long "epic", apparently some people who have
been to the special preview sessions have reported that the solo sounds
out of place.... |
I've heard this too, but I'm going to try to listen to it as if I had
never heard this info. Also, it's possible that it only seemed out of
place because people aren't used to hearing someone other than SW solo
on a PT album. I bet it's fine.

Hey everyone, this is my first post here and of course it had to be about PT.
The lyrics I've heard so far remind me a bit of Bret Easton Ellis' writing style and of course "I simply am not there" obviousy reminds me of my favorite book, American Psycho. Has anyone else who has seen the new stuff played live gotten that from it?
Can't wait for the album :-D

Man, I cannot wait to hear Lifeson's solo on the longest song of the new disc. Boys, this disc is going to be a killer!

so is that it then? I would've expected it to be in like the bottom right or something. I like it, though.

I'll be looking forward to this one. Cool. Alex Lifeson and Robert Fripp. Is Steve Wilson still avoiding the "prog" label?

It'd be nicer if he sent us all free advanced copies for being such loyal fans

Not really, he's just not actively encouraging it. PT are heading off into Prog Metal territory, although smarter than the average...
....that said, Bass Communion sounds like Progressive Electronic to me, although the whole thing is put together with sampled instruments as opposed to the use of analog synths and keys..

I was hoping Wilson would put out Fear of a Blank Planet without any words on the cover.
That'd be pretty gutsy, perhaps even more so then not promoting your new cd or putting out singles.

Yeah without words on the cover it would look so cool. And people might take a look at it and buy it because of the cover. I would if I saw something like that.

He did the same thing with Deadwing and In Absentia, didn't he? I have no doubt it will be the same here.

According to Steve, the new album does not have any text on it....so this must be a mock up by the vendor, Play.com or the record company.

FOABP sounds a lot like something off of Deadwing. Very similar to
maybe Halo or Arriving... And Let's Sleep Together sounds like a mix of
something off of IA and some of PT's earlier stuff. Very twisted and
dark sounding with some cool strings at the end. I dunno, overall these
two tracks were kind of disappointing, but not bad.

Is there a release date yet? I will start counting down the days until it is released if I got a date to go by.

April everywhere, that's from the band's official site, and in the U.S. anyway I believe it's April 24th, though I forget where I got that information.
