new record label probably forcing him to do it

Album Rating: 3.5

probably, I wonder if he's starting to miss Kscope

I find I like what Steven Wilson does in cycles, I liked his first and third solo albums and now this. But Grace for Drowning and H.C.E. bore me to tears after a while. But very surprised, for all the hype surrounding talk of him branching out to new styles here what we got just ended up being a modernized PT album.

Album Rating: 3.5

There are serious PT vibes here, especially on PWED (early 2000s) and Asylum (late 90s)

If I ranked his solo albums they'd be HCE>this>GfD>Raven>Insurgentes



The bonus track A Door Marked Summer starts like Drown with Me, and has vibes of late 90s/early 2000s PT meets this and GfD. Amazing song.

Holy shit this is bad, I feel so embarrassed for Steven and Ninet

Oh my god.

Sometimes I forget how embarrassing Germany is from the cultural perspective. But then some random link forces me to leave the bubble I built for my own health and jump into a fucking morning show of all the possible apocalypses. Jesus christ.

Makes me wonder how much of this self-promotion is from Steven's end or the new label. I'm thinking it's probably the label.

"I like to upset my fans sometimes" - and the "host" translates it as "he wants to expand his fanbase", holy shit.

lol that clip

Album Rating: 3.5

It's definitely the label making him do all this promotion.

Holy crap that video, way to take the cart downhill and pray for a tree to stop you on the way down. Ninet is wonderful though, probably the best part of the album.

Despite some unfathomable turds like Song of I and Permanating (what?) and the very, very unfortunate use of Steven's falsettos, there are some brilliant moments here, so i will eat some crow: the ending of t/t, Ninet on pariah (please that FB line, pleeeeease) and some serious PT moments here and there.

Not as bad as I thought it would be, and a lot to enjoy but the bad moments really snapped me out of the good ones.

Album Rating: 2.5

Pretty much sums it up right there folks.

The ending of the t/t is the worst part of the song; Song of I and Permanating are some of the best tracks; you're right about Pariah though, Dew

God dammit I posted in the wrong thread.

What's wrong with the video

Wilson being forced to stoop so low as to perform on a German news network on a weekday morning. His hope and optimism: gone.

lol bloc what kind of TV you normally watch?

JJ, it may be we were looking for different things on the album. If he achieved a way to satisfy both sides I'd call that a victory for him.

I don't watch tv

Or maybe he satisfied neither side :^)
