ewwwwwwwww

jamie gonna be so excited

also that sounds like some hand. cannot. erase. 2 type of shit

That was really cool to see, but "I'm tired of Facebook?" Really? Really Steve lol

What Mongi said [2]

dude releases an album every year, how exciting is a studio clip really

does buckethead release studio clips?

nice one steve

I'm tired of Facebook

how is this line coming from a man who used to smash ipods even remotely surprising?

Because it was posted on Facebook! Lol what a hypocrite, either way I'll look forward to the album and her voice is awesome.

Obligatory Facebook in 2017 LOL

more boring music fuck yeah

Sounds good! As I saw, Marco Minnemann won't be drumming on this album, sadly. Anybody knows if Guthrie will still be there?

That sounded really great, hate hearing lyrics about facebook but whatever.

Steven Wilson reminding everyone he's an old man. Outside of the cringey initial lyrics this sounds solid though. The build up in general is pretty incredible.

i hate references to modern shit i mean cmon steve

facebook yikes

his solo stuff is ok, unfortunately too over the top most of the time. Porcupine tree was on a whole other level

yeah the facebook reference damn

That new Blackfield record actually wasn't all that bad tbh

Blackfield V was great, better than the last two, which were still decent.

"Lol what a hypocrite"

Err, he sings about his son after that and since he has no son, it's clear that the lyrics are from an in-character point of view. So no, nothing hypocritical about it.
It's just a really shitty line.

more shite lyrics from the shite master himself

sounds nice tho

This is crying out for a bunch of of 19yr old toe-rags to storm the studio, smash fuck out the fairy lights and twaddle and rip into death or glory or some such like invigorating tune.

What the hell is the song Trains about

probably about a 60 ton angel that falls to the earth

Trains is basically about cousin incest

And a train

sounds nice tho [2]

opeth's dad

if facebook bores u ur doing it wrong

ladybird book of fucking lyrics again

Not only is the Facebook line cringy, but the production and mixing throughout most of the song gave way too much of a mainstream pop vibe for Steven. However, the background spacey-sounding keybard with the low tone guitars in the last five seconds or so seemed pretty promising.

In a sense, though, I'm kinda interested in a theoretical dream pop album from Steven Wilson even if it can go very wrong.

Didn't like this clip

Lol the metal horns at the least metal sounding thing ever. I enjoyed that clip, minus the Facebook line. But it wouldnt be Steven Wilson without at least one cringy line

"I'm tired of Facebook, I'm tired of my failing health
I'm tired everyone, and that includes myself
But being alone now, it doesn't bother me."

I'm not sure of anything after that, but the lyrics don't seem bad to me. It's just awkward hearing the word "Facebook" in song lyrics. The overall sound and feel of the song is great. It kind of sounds like HCE part 2, which to be honest is exactly what I want from him. I'm all in.

just really clumsy the way he writes, lyrics that are very literal and don't fuck about trying to be obtuse are fine but...his stuff always so banal

The line probably wouldn't even stick out as much if it hadn't been the first line in the clip. I mean it's bad either way but still

It wouldn't be so obvious that he is bored of making music if he wasnt making songs about being dull and exhausted

Steve still hasn't got this Luddite, more-woke-than-thou bullshit out of his system, I see. That's always been my biggest turnoff with his music (which I generally really like otherwise).

Oh yeah, and the clip's boring as fuck. No one liked "Perfect Life" two years ago, so why release it again?

I love Perfect Life.

"It's just awkward hearing the word "Facebook" in song lyrics."

I think its just completely not poetic, like having a lyric about texting, I always wince at stuff like that.



I blame Geoff Tate.

can someone explain why it is taboo to reference to social media in music

Because using the literal context of social media in lyrics have zero depth to them most of the time.

First line is shite, but the rest is pretty good still

I thought he just said the words I'm tired of Facebook spoken, not that it was in a song jesus Steven

it reminds me of 2000's pop songs that reference texting and chatting and cellphones & music videos with awful 2000's fashion sense a la ashley tisdale

which is a good thing

"I blame Geoff Tate."

THE WOOOOORLD WIDE WEB
HAS ALL THE PICTURES ON YOOOOOUTUUUBE
YOOOOOUTUUUBE

This song sounds good and I hope this album is more coherent than his past solo works have been.

Idk I've fallen off Steven Wilson's work hard. I don't really care for anything post-Deadwing aside from a few songs here and there

lol worst part is the drum machine dates the song harder than the facebook reference.

"Sounds good! As I saw, Marco Minnemann won't be drumming on this album, sadly. Anybody knows if Guthrie will still be there?"

Guthrie is apparently also gone as he is bandmates with Marco and (I think) they were touring together at the time the spat arose.

worst artist ever

drum machines are cool, it's the beat he's constructed that sucks ass
he's such an adult contemporary musician at this point
michael bolton but with cred for doing EQ work on prog

Tbh, he's sounding as unenthusiastic as I've ever heard him sound

"worst artist ever"

bottom 5 for certain.

yep

""worst artist ever"

bottom 5 for certain."

Incredibly harsh

Bottom 6

I like it.

shocker

ikr

I really hope Ninet has a stronger presence on this next album. She felt very underused in HCE.

sw's hate circlejerk is ridiculous on sputnik

what circlejerk isn't, though?

it just seems to be semi-common to be hatin' on steve

it's become kinda mainstream, yep

Snorefest 2017 coming soon.

I was off camera watching this magic taking place. I had tears rolling down

poppy, but I think this is pretty rad. ninet's voice sounding awesome as per

ok nvm this got sickly so fucking quick

what a twat

fluggy my boy, whats vexing you?

did you have a name change?

no why?
