@Greg
Since you think it's in the 2 range, you might as well give it a '2.25'.
But in all seriousness, yeah, I remember you saying you hated it. Steven Wilson's stuff seems to be a hit-or-miss among people. This has a real 'classic' prog feel, but like I told MeatSalad, I have friends who are major prog fans and still hated it.

My main quibble with this is that his songs don't really grab me all that much. Besides, this stuff doesn't bring anything new to the table and feels really derivative at times. I still prefer his previous album which has a couple of moments quite directly ripping off King Crimson, yet it feels more structured than this. I'll give this an extra spin though.

I feel the same way. And I honestly don't understand how sites like The Guardian are giving this a 5/5 and calling it an ambitious effort. It's certainly nothing too groundbreaking, but it is a good prog album in my opinion. And compared to the countless bands out there today that are ripping-off King Crimson and Camel, at least Steven does it well- at least, I think so.

I feel the opposite there.I felt it was a bit boring at times. It was just messy and seemed to everywhere and nowhere at once. I liked it in the end, but I think this one is much more focused than 'Grace'. But that's just me.

Wasn't too fond of Grace for Drowning (or any of Wilson/PT's recent stuff for that matter) but I'll probably check this out at some point. Will read the review later when I have more time.

One of the best reviews I've read on this site in ages. And it hits the nail on the head too, what more could you want?

Somewhere between but a 4 and a 4.5 for me. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, the execution is excellent.
|

this (like coheed's latest) was leaked so long I forgot it wasn't officially released.
|
| |
Still, I hope he'll return to Porcupine Tree as soon as the tour ends to make another record this (like coheed's latest) was leaked so long I forgot it wasn't officially released. That's pretty much all I wanted to say. Oh, and: grats on the promotion Paperback.

Whoa, don't push the limits too far Wilson hahahaha. This sounds interesting the way you've presented the review, but it's probably gonna be an abortion of a throwback album.
Congrats on the Staffer position, you have now entered the realm of unfuckwithable.
