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

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

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

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

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

I thought The Incident was a major disapointment.

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

It's a matter of opinion but I feel like they were, yes.

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.

I heard it yesterday and I think it's just amazing... Which raises some questions. Given that his last few albums have been so bad, was he just hogging his best material so he could put it out under his own name rather than as a band?

This is possibly the proggiest thing he's ever done, even more so than early PT albums. Early PT is space/psych prog like Pink Floyd, whereas some of this stuff wouldn't be so out of place on Crimson's Lizard or another more eclectic/jazzy/technical prog album.With more thorough listens this may just rank up with his best.

Also I think that there are parts of this album that sound how Heritage SHOULD HAVE sounded.

I definitely like it better than Insurgentes.

One of the best and most diverse things SW has ever created. Excellent album.
