I liked The Incident, though I'll be honest, I haven't thrown that one on since 2009, not long after it came out.

I'll be sure to check it out, but being better than The Incident really isn't an impressive feat Tongue

Same here.  Maybe I listened to it once in the past year.

Well then I disagree... And that's NEVER happened on this website before!

I thought The Incident was a major disapointment.

To hell with you Tongue, I like The Incident.  Seriously.

And I really don't care for your unpleasant family, sweetie.

that first song that was released was enough to peak my interest in this album, and it did sound a lot better than The Incident, and maybe FoaBP

Arrived today which was a pleasant surprise.I will need several listens to have a definite opinion but for the moment I will use the word ''gorgeous'' to describe it. Is there anything not to like on it? Nope!

Just bought it so I haven't listened yet, but all these positive comments make me feel a bit better about it. I feared Wilson was losing something with both FOABP and TI.

Really?? FOABP is a great album and one of PT's best IMO.

Yes. Welcome to my DNA was horrendous, laughable even. The Incident was the worst record ever under the PT label. Insurgentes was very good though. Fear of a Blank Planet was cringe worthy in parts but great in others. 

Actually I'd say this is his best thing since Deadwing, because I didn't cringe or even dislike a single part on the whole album whereas on every album after Deadwing I cringed at least once.

The death metal vocals on that one track (I don't know the name) are interesting. It's really true that the farther Mikael Akerfeldt gets from metal, the closer Steven Wilson gets. 

1. Steve didn't compose any of Welcome to My DNA besides "Waving" (which happens to be the only good track imo). 
2. Have you heard On the Sunday of Life? 
3. I wouldn't exactly call those vox in Raider 2 "death metal" at all.  If you think Grace for Drowning is a step further towards metal, then you might have heard the wrong record...  

Personally I'd say GfD is Steve's best effort since In Absentia. Shocked
