stoopid Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Already ordered the deluxe box set. :drool: :yay:I'm gonna get on that myself. It's actually quite affordable and under $100 (shipping included) this time! Based on the description of this new box, the HCE box is light years ahead in terms of artfulness and content. I have it, and it's as much a work of art as it is a supplement to the musical story. Worth every penny I paid. I didn't order the new box because it seemed more like filler to justify the box set premium price than it did execution of a vision that the HCE box set was. This is a bluray only release for me.

stoopid Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 One thing I want to mention is how subtle yet incredibly awesome I think the swirling electronic "soundscape" sounds are in the beginning of Pariah. It's trivial stuff such as that in the production which makes me excited most when listening to SW's music. His attention to detail is one of his greatest contributions to prog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherine Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Already ordered the deluxe box set. :drool: :yay: I may have done the same . . . I love the song. Goosebumps when Ninet hits that note as the drums kick in. I missed out on the deluxe box set with H.C.E. somehow so didn't want to take that chance again. I have only listened to the single once so far. At first I planned to resist until the album release to savor the whole thing in its proper context. Of course that resolve lasted about 1 hour and I caved, LOL! I need to listen to it more actively since the first was over my phone on Spotify while I was folding laundry (LOL). My initial feeling was positive, but for some reason I am ambivalent about how big a role Ninet may play. I mean she has a great voice, sure, but I want to hear Steven. That's why I buy his albums. Am I jealous or something? LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A musical paradoxical effect i suppose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my sister who doesn't listen to SW but does know of him cause of me commented how awesome the song is both compositionally and production wise.

toymaker Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Great tune. Wish it was longer. "take comfort from me" is a great little melodic hook. verse A F#m E D with a Dm bridging to the chorus chorus E F#m C#m D How come some folks can make such great things from the same old chords?

catherine Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Got tickets for both nights at the Albert Hall :) Jealous!! Can't wait for the North American tour announcement! Hoping for at the very least Atlanta but praying for Nashville. Oh, and in June or July 'cause that's when I am not traveling myself. Sure would be cool to see him in RAH though. :drool: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Steven's lyrical edge has gone downhill relatively quicker than I thought. Not much a fan of his writing on this track, even though I like it. It seems he really peaked in terms of lyrics with Grace for Drowning and TRTRTS. HCE, for me, is a pretty good concept album and Steven really got the nail on the head, especially with Ancestral, which is a KILLER track. I have high hopes for To the Bone, but if this track is going to be judged for anything...not sure I can keep my hopes up for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) A new track is out, this one's quite a bit different... I don't much care for the falsetto vocals at the beginning, but the chorus is absolutely killer. I feel like this song has quite a few modern Rush-esq notes to it too. Really, really good. http://player.vimeo.com/video/219938739 Edited June 2, 2017 by KenJennings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Very good song and to me, it sounds a bit like the Mute Gods have assumed control. Thanks for posting KJ. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 New song sounds much more like the Steven Wilson of 1999-2005. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
