Album Rating: 3.5

the riff comparison is definitely being exaggerated by some

Album Rating: 4.5

Definitely improves on successive listens (like most other PT/SW albums). Harridan is probably my least favourite track, but I love Dignity, Chimera's Wreck and Never Have.

Album Rating: 4.5

Agreed that this only gets better with additional listens. It's hard to choose favorites because the album is quite consistent, but if I had to pick one right now it'd probably be Chimera's Wreck.

I haven't listened to SW/PT since high school and maaaaan this is so good. It just feels awesome

Album Rating: 3.5

Definitely has some gems, but it doesn't touch Fear of a Blank Planet or In Absentia for me. Still solid though.

Not even Gavin Harrison can make this interesting.

Can’t he?

Album Rating: 3.0

This album is so dry

Album Rating: 3.0

Have not come back to this once; will change at some point soon, but there's a real choreishness hanging over it and *I wonder why*



Vaguely remember Barbieri's contributions being the most consistently engaging by a decent margin

Album Rating: 3.5

I don't see myself returning to this soon either. It's just not engaging to me

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah there’s a small handful of tunes on this that i feel, they’re mostly ballad leaning songs that remind me of the best stuff off deadwing and stupid dream. Rest of it is way forgettable, technically competent tunes with zero character, Steven waxing poetic about everything and nothing…



Can’t even call this disappointing as i didn’t have high expectations but I’m totally bewildered by the high ratings. Listenable fluff

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of the similarities between the main motifs of Dignity and Interstate Love Song. It was something I caught instantly, and I could never unhear it after that... still, Dignity's my favorite song on here so far. Beautiful stuff

why are the bonus tracks so expensive to find physically if you can just open Spotify and find them there?

Album Rating: 4.5

I just realized that the last three songs are bonus tracks lmao. They should just be part of the regular album, they comprise some of the best material here.

Album Rating: 3.5

Porcupine/Tree Crystal/Clear production, amirite?

I don't connect with the riffs nearly as much as i should. The mellow elements are the meat, atleast in my opinion. Everything else has been done before or simply put in a different context.

Album Rating: 3.5

On another note, i'm getting some proper 80's vibes due to how the instruments feel in the mix and the touch of the tonewoods and stuff.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Gotta say, I'm pretty impressed at how natural all the time signature changes sound on Of the New Day, given how many there are for such a mellow track

Album Rating: 3.5

This has so many cool moments; but severely lacks Colin's basslines

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Colin’s great but Stevens bass playing is on fire here i.e. Harridan.

Album Rating: 2.0

did anybody else fall asleep listening to this?
