If there is any new Storm Corrosion, we'll be waiting a long time for it. I estimate around 2-3 more years minimum?

Watershed was just nice for Opeth standards and The Incident was... yeah, that album... BUT, Fear of a Blank Planet was fantastic. So, let's just say it's the best thing they've done in 4 years...

Fuck yeah, you love Watershed too? The incident wasn't as bad as everyone said it was. It has some awful awful tracks and the entire disc 2 was average, but everything from Octane Twisted to I Drive The Hearse is incredible.

Watershed is a cozy album, you feel at home but could have been done better. OtheR than that, it's enjoyable. The Incident has some cool songs but can't be compared to their previous efforts. They tried to be rock and metal, when Steven wanted to be jazzy. It just couldn't work. I like Disc 2 more tbh.

The Incident beats Raven at least

No way that happens.

I'm just not a fan of his solo stuff. But the songs are sure as hell better than Drawing The Line!

Funny that you mention it... Apart from the chorus, I enjoy the verse...It's a 3 for me...
|
| |
I do too. I thought it was going to be a great song until DRAWING THE LINE x100000
I may find Raven boring, but it's not bad at least

For me Raven is a strong 4.8. I love it from start to finish, every note, each and every mellotron note, I adore it. It was the reason I started listening to PT systematically.
|
| |
PT and DT were one of the first bands I ever properly liked, because of their modern approach to prog. So when Steven Wilson turns back the clock, it all goes wrong for me

Yeah, I understand. I'm going through a 70's nostalgia, trying to learn every band worth mentioning from that era. Steven Wilson was the main reason I tried to do research, so...
|
| |
I currently want nothing to do with that era. I'll probably have the same phase as you at some point, maybe when PC is released

Why nothing to do? It's got nice ideas. PC will kill.

It's interesting how most modern prog, 70's throwback or not, is so much more melancholic and atmospheric than classic 70's. That's probably the hardest thing for me when trying to get into the classics, it's too happy and fluffy compared to what I'm used to. I can still enjoy it for that though, and Yes is probably the one I've listened to the most from that era

Me too that's why the happy 70's stuff is hard to get into, especially with the high pitched singing...

Proto-Prog is fluffy indeed. Some bands like Lovecraft and Spirit are too happy-go-lucky, influenced by other groups like Beatles, Animals etc. Yet, there are others like Comus, KC and especially Van der graaf Generator, who are the dark side of 70's prog.
|
| |
yeah, I agree with everything Talons said. But something I have huge issues with is the production. I'm just not a fan of that kind of production and vocal styles and that damages how much I can like bands from that era

Haha, yeah, indeed. The Wall, even if it's not prog, has to be one of the most suffocating records of the time.
OOOOOOOOHHHH BABEE...DON'T LEAVE ME NOWWWWW...

Floyd is probably the most successful/popular prog from the 70s that leans to the darker side, I just meant the super successful ones like Rush and Yes and Genesis
