Akron162 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I listen to it for the first time today. Nice enough, but it has certain Radiohead vibe i didnt like. I will give it a few more listens anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unattractive Truth Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 My second favortie PT album. I absolutely love it. Stranger by the Minute is glorious. Steven Wilson meets Jerry Garcia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchance to Dream Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Underwater, my cigarette won't light... Very tasty guitar solo by Steven in that song! Stupid Dream is one of those albums that I find myself listening to from beginning to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Great album. Nothing crappy about it. Keep listening and you'll understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natch Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I found that most PT albums had to grow on me. I guess I had to grow accustomed to their varying styles from song to song. Stupid Dream is one of my favorite PT albums. Definitely one of those albums you can listen to front to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) Awesome record. One of the best ever, and PT's 2nd best, IMO (behind only Lightbulb Sun). Also, while a Radiohead vibe is never a bad thing, I really don't hear it that much on this record. Okay, The Bends is mentioned in Pure Narcotic, but where else? I mean, are we gonna say that Pure Narcotic and No Surprises sounds alike because they both use a xylophone, like Radiohead was the first band to ever use that?

The Owl Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 That era for PT is kind of unique, both Stupid Dream, and LigthBulb Sun were albums were different from what came before and after. They were certainty a change from the trippy floyd-ish delirium albums, and quite different from the heavier albums that followed them.. I like that era of PT two great albums.

I remember reading a while back that The Bends reference in Pure Narcotic had something to do with the record company wanting SW to write music like Radiohead.

I much prefer the heavier. Guess I'm in the minority here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
