I broke down and listened to eminent sleaze a couple weeks ago and was exponentially more disgusted than I was at the couple tracks I heard from to the bone. Sell this train wreck for parts and remember Grace

No matter how much I love his music, his social-commentary lyrics are always shitty.

How can he be so far from self awareness when he mourns the loss of subtlety in music

He may have missed the boomer cutoff by a couple years, but Stevie's working overtime to get that ceremonial induction

haha, true. Also, should we adress the semiology of his face on the cover? From under a mask, to a shadow, to closed eyes and now finally the reveal. We see you mr. Wilson, but what do you want us to see?

Steven putting his face transparently on the cover of an album called The Future Bites
Wow, he was dropping hints that the record was going to suck the whole time!

I'm a fan of him and was excited after hearing 12 Things I Forgot and Personal Shopper. I think the opening track and "future biting" breakdown on Follower are my favourite bits outside the singles. This falls flat otherwise but I do like the overall concept of consumerism and how he tied that into the marketing of the album. As it is, it just doesn't fit in with To The Bone and Hand Cannot Erase as what I think are great albums for Steven Wilson. I think this project had lots of potential, seeing a live show behind this with visuals would be incredible if done well.
Also hoping he slows down on the falsetto breaks.

Maybe he’s just too far outside my preferred “genre radius”, but I remember enjoying Grace For Drowning then being thoroughly bored and/or put off by his last three records. Including Raven which everyone seems to love for some reason.
Might listen for hecks but I’m betting I’ll hate this.

Raven is a little bit overrated within his discog imo (though still pretty great), but I would recommend jamming this for the hell of it because it's shortish and hilariously terrible for the most part

>Raven is a little bit overrated within his discog imo
relative to the others you mean? and if so are you including pt or solo only

yup relative, and I guess both? it's in the top third overall I think, but I'm v not sold by the number of people claiming it's the best he's done. those tracks are beautiful live though, and it's p solid throughout
|

>it's in the top third overall I think
agree
>but I'm v not sold by the number of people claiming it's the best he's done
ah yea theres prob at least a handful of pt albums that beat it

As someone who has never checked out PT, and the extent of my Steven Wilson experience is quite enjoying 'Permanating' a few years back, I'd be interested to hear the opinions of others completely new to him.
The production on this is absolutely immaculate, and I'll be honest, not-quite-cutting-it commentary lyrics aside, I'm having a really, really good time with this.

"Fucking hell ana. It is Sue Perkins!"
at first I thought he was a perfect amalgamation of sue perkins and mel godrych but it's definitely more perky
