treeduck Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Yeah very good!! I think Wilson has got the mood and atmosphere right for this one. I'll need more listens to really finish my aural inner picturescape on it though... Did you go to the gig?No was it any good?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 While I do generally still like PT better than Wilson's solo stuff, "Hand.Cannot.Erase." is a damn masterpiece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It is a prog masterpiece. It really kicks into high gear from Home Invasion onward. Absolutely incredible. I have the 5.1 blue ray as well and that is like another experience entirely. I loved Raven...big time. This one exceeds it in may ways for me. Raven was like a warm up jam for this album. I am a huge PT fan. And I enjoy PT the most. I thought Insurgentes was decent, Grace For Drowning with moments of brilliance. Raven was awesome. This is the culmination of those three albums. And now he completely put it all together in every way. This album has so many sonic landscapes. It's just gorgeous, lush and powerful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I was underwhelmed the first time I heard it but I liked it a lot more the 2nd and 3rd timeAgreed but to be honest overall I still feel somewhat underwhelmed compared to how I feel with the first three solo albums.

Complete opposite for me. Funny how music effects and touches people in different ways. His first solo record underwhelmed me big time. Grace For Drowning had some great stuff but was an uneven effort for me. Raven was awesome. I love it. This one is for me on another level. And I feel the most consistent effort. A lot of PT roots throughout and that is probably why I am enjoying it the most. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of PT roots throughout and that is probably why I am enjoying it the most. Don't get me wrong, I love H.C.E. and it's in contention for my Album of The Year. It's just for me personally, the album started off somewhat shaky. First Regret and 3 Years Older is a fantastic start. Then comes the title track where I felt the album sort of dipped downward a bit, but then the album dipped even more for me on Perfect Life which I felt was more of a 5 minute intermission from the title track to Routine. Fortunately, things head upwards on Routine which I still maintain to be my favorite (along with Ancestral) on the album. It's from Routine to the end of the record where I felt that the album's a masterpiece. Thematically, the concept hit me deep because it's pretty close to accurate about how I feel living (well rather going to school) in the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yep, thats why its not a total masterpiece for me. But from Home Invasion onward is 36 minutes of absolute perfection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I had a dream I suddenly enjoyed "Perfect Life"... Stupid dream.Next/final PT album should be called Perfect Life and it will be a sequel to Stupid Dream which takes place 20 years after Stupid Dream.
