THE INCIDENT

You can listen to this album like a soundtrack of a dark movie about dysfunctional relationships. You get through different moods from the calm of the ambient parts to the violence of the metal parts. Some samples are used to create those ambient passages which are not surprising, knowing the love of Steven Wilson for this style of music. He blends everything perfectly with some beautiful arrangements and a production that doesn't miss anything. There's a lot os short tracks here between some tracks ranging from 5 minutes to 11, but those tracks are part of a long song. The keyboards of Richard Barbieri are always tasteful and brings a nice contrast with the heavy guitar parts. This album is more enjoyable in surround sound, the DVD-A version has also 3 videos in surround sound.
