No, I wish he did though.

Seriously, after listening to the album some more, the only reason why it's not the most perfect album of 2007, is the guitar solos, everything else is perfect about that album.
Steven Wilson, great song writer, producer, rhythm guitarist.
But oh man, he needs to learn his limits and not play guitar solos.
Honestly, I know 17 year old kids that can write better guitar solos than him.
His solo on the title track, makes me cringe, it sounds like it was recorded in one take and just a bad improvisation
I just wish he would have got Mikael Akerfeldt to do guest lead guitar.

Is there a party here or somethin'? I was taking a nap in the SR, you guys are making so much noise here.

Tell me you have Absent Lovers Alex. Please.

Hey, Jaydee. How are you?

Actually, I don't.

I've wanted it for a long time though. I think that will be one of the first things I get once 2009 comes and I sort through all this extra music crap I haven't gone through yet. I have a pile of stuff I just haven't gotten around to sorting or anything yet, and it's intimidating.

You'd prefer beer to having sex?   OK... with enough beer, I can drink all night. My pecker is only good for like 15 minutes.   Yeah, but speaking from a girl's perpective, you can add a good 30 minutes (at least) to sex if you know how to use your tongue right

Definitely.

Foreplay is the best part.

I must. I'll do that ASAP.

I love the solos, but then again... I'm not a guitarist.

To be frank, I thought Steven Wilson's solos were among the worst guitar solos in prog for 2007 releases.

What does annoy me perhaps even more though, is Akerfeldt's lack of recognition of a soloist.
He gets known as a song writer and rhythm player and his soloing is sooooo overlooked.
He has written some of the best solos I've ever heard in my life.
Steven Wilson sounds like a beginner when he plays solos..........Akerfeldt sounds like a true professional, with serious class.

I can definitely see your point there.

Same band.

Unless there are two doom metal bands with that name.

They sorted sounded like Agalloch only worse.
