Actually the dead sister of the character he invented for that story. Still a touching story.

This album isn't as bad as I thought. It's sort of growing on me. Holy Drinker brings the whole thing down a lot though.

^That's close to mine but Drive Home would be higher I think maybe 4th shift the other two down



Pin Drop is so fucking good, starts out a bit awkward but the song just takes off after





Well done Patrick Star

I'm probably the biggest Steven Wilson fan in the universe, but I'm just really getting sick of the direction he's taking with his solo albums. I really loved GFD, but this 70s prog revival is getting old really fast. He NEEDS to change it up on the next album.

@Keyblade

Yeah, it's got those insane pseudo-fusion breaks. I loved both tracks though.



Honestly, I'm not understanding this hate for "The Holy Drinker", I thought it was an incredible track. The instrumental parts rule, but Steven's singing on it is a little stale.
