Steven Wilson - To The Bone

Loved Hand Cannot Erase and the bunch of Porcupine Tree albums I have, need to check out more of his solo stuff. Seems the kind of guy who doesn't do bad records.

If you're familiar with his other albums, you'll probably agree that 'Permanating' is miles away from the stuff he usually does. It's more like 70s ELO or something.

Sounds pretty different, but I like it anyway. Besides, the other tune up above sound different, so the jauntiness of the song probably has a different context within the track running order. Maybe.

Steven Wilson is a champion, I don't see anything wrong with posting about him here! Looking forward to this album, Permanating is a great track.

If I was a musician and I'd written that track, I would feel pretty pleased with myself. It's 70's pop bliss.

Yeah! Prog musicians tend to write some of the best/most interesting pop songs (cf. Genesis, Yes etc).

Love Steven Wilson.  Hand Cannot Erase got a lot of play here.  Hope he keeps working with Ninet - Pariah is such a great track.

awful

Pretty much the worst album he has ever released. Poor songwriting, no interesting moments, terrible flow. Sounds like a collection of unused ideas from various recording sessions (HCE, GfD, Insurgentes).

Never apologize for anything Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson related. He knows his shit for real and has braindance approval.

RDJ didn't even know who SW was when this photo was taken btw. It's just a fan photo (SW being fan of RDJ).

Have been really enjoying this album, have listened to it repeatedly since I got it. Not listening to much else but Wilson-related material lately, and I blame this album for it.
