Yea he's nowhere near the best, but the lyrics in Gravity Eyelids aren't half bad.

I like the lyrics Sound of Muzak. I know some think it's pretentious but whatever, music geeks are pretentious so don't act like were not lol

I'm just not inclined to agree with Wilson though. Music has not gone downhill. Just a small gripe though. It's just weird because Wilson himself said he's found some amazing music from this time so he just contradicts himself with that song.

Need to revisit this so badly.

Yeah, I'm sure he knows "no one cares" is obviously a generalization. It's the feeling you get when you turn on the radio and realize your favorite channel has switched to top 40...I'm sure any fan of music has felt it at some point.

Well yea but judging the state of music in general by the radio isn't right imo. It's more to please the masses.

Album Rating: 4.5

Right, "masses" is a good chunk of the population though. It's sort of that same democratic distopian fear of "tyranny of the masses." You can draw what conclusions you want but I don't think he's saying "music sucks now and I'm the only one trying" lol

Album Rating: 5.0

Well by masses I mean people that tend to not branch out to other types other than the radio. Which in all honesty, probably isn't the masses haha you got me there. Nonetheless, it's still a shame that some people in the older generations tend to draw that conclusion simply by hearing the radio.

Yeah, it's just sad to me that the average, passive joe back then was fed lots of good stuff, whereas we 99%

of the time have to go out of our way to find it. At least we have better tools aka sputnik and rym etc.

I forgot how awesome this is.

Maybe Wilson doesn't annoy me as much as I thought.

I think you're way off here dude. Going 'out of your way' is only the click of a button. 'Back then' you really had to go out of your way to acquire something that you actually like by purchasing a physical copy from a store or copying it from someone who already had it. Hearing new music was close to impossible if you didn't listen to the radio or have MTV (which most people didn't). No torrent sites, no amazon, no iTunes, no sput / rym / blabbermouth. Word of mouth was pretty much the only medium back then as well. The blank tape market was huge as this was the most affordable way to build your music collection. Highly inconvenient to say the least.....

I remember sharing CDs with friends so we knew what to get.

I still do that but not as much.

Did you guys see that recent study that scientifically proved that if you are a Steven Wilson fan you are a psuedo-philosophical nerd who is incapable of having fun at parties?
