Was anyone else besides me reminded of the plot to Opeth's concept album "Still Life" while watching this video?

I didn't even think about that, but now that you mentioned it, looking back at it, I could see a bit of the themes in Face of Melinda in the video.

I am not sure, but someone said on either one of the youtube comments for the facebook comments that the music was similar to no-man.

Ive never really gotten into no-man so i dont know if thats true or not

Love Drag Ropes. I was kinda ODing on Wilson, almost fed up with his ubiquity, but this has dragged me back in. The bastard.

It is definitely not Opeth or PT like. It is ambient mostly. Moody and subdued. It has moments, but those moments do not make this a memorable release, IMO. It would be a good listen for a stoner though.

It sounds like a GfD outtake.

Got the new album today. It is very interesting. What I appreciate the most is that SW and AKF create music that is very interesting and NOT what we all want to here. Nice to know that there are still artists out there in the world. Edited May 1, 2012 by friendlyfloridian

just great. steven wilson is now an artsy fartsy artist. writing and performing more boring landscape music. it's harder to write the material that he does with PT. guess he's giving his mind a break by playing 10 minute songs with 3 chord changes in it.

Thoroughly disappointed.

Are you sure PT music is harder to write? And when does a 3 chord song make a bad song?

I truly love Drag Ropes, it's very scary to me, I like that stuff.

Sounds great, but has no pulse at all and is flat...The tons of atmosphere does not make up for that to me. You keep expecting it to go somewhere, and it never does. I do quite like Lock Howl though.

 

Records that are mostly ambient are not my thing though. Kind of boring really.

Given the proper mood it will be a decent listen occasionally, but I don't see many people saying 'yeah, pop in Storm Corrosion!'...

 

Another few listens to sink in better, but yeah... Something with a heartbeat please.

You're a man aren't you, albeit an oldie now, be grateful for that at least. You could be buried alive too, count your blessings...

Somewhat impressed, mostly disappointed. Wasn't this album supposed to be heavier? It sounds like a combination of GfD and a Bass Communion album. Not to say the song is bad, but this is almost the complete opposite to what we were told this album is supposed to be. I'm not going to download the leak, because obviously that will sound much worse quality wise. I guess I'll just wait the six more days in order to fully judge the album.

[I know i'm going bald]

PT, Blackfield, No-Man, Solo, Storm Corrosion...the man is a genius !!!

 

Pure and simple

 

I love his ambient stuff as much as the prog metal ones

 

(although what I heard of Bass Communion may be a bridge too far !!)

[treeduck]

GfD??

Not as ambient as everyone in here seems to believe. I don't think they really know what ambient is. They need to try some Death Cube K!
