bluefox4000 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) I have it pre-ordered and look forward to the same enjoyment. Steve is a true Prog genius. Thank god for him.He must have had a temporary (hopefully) leave of his senses when he wrote Permanating. Dude i love that song. and i love it pissed so many off lol i love stupid pop songs. it was honestly refreashing. he was getting stale as hell for a bit.

shail Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Maybe change the topic to To The Bone. It's a great album. Have overdosed on the album since it hit the streets. Nowhere Now. What a positive beautiful feel good tune. Up beat and fun. I like Craig's drumming on this album. No crazy fills. Just play simple and groove. It works for the music. No much space for drums to go crazy like other albums with Marco or Gavin. Love the direction Steven took. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pip65 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I have only listened to the officially released tracks so far. I liked the first three, thought Permanating was OK but wouldn't want more than one track like it however I thought Refuge is awesome - that harmonica! Looking forward to hearing how the whole album works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Shit album. "Pariah" and "Permanating" are fantastic. "People Who Eat Darkness" is a good song plagued by bad lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catherine Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I am holding off for the official release. I have even been avoiding the pre-release singles too. I did listen to the first two but stayed away after that. I would rather hear the whole thing in context. I never liked having ultra sounds to find out my babies' genders either. :P I'm weird like that. Edited August 11, 2017 by catherine 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked having ultra sounds to find out my babies' genders either. :P I'm weird like that. Spoiler alert: the songs really don't have anything to do with one another. There's really no flow or context, at least nothing I could find. A few interesting politically based songs though. SW even said in interviews this wasn't a concept album, even a loosely connected theme based album. IMO of all his prior output this is closest to In Absentia, and there was really no common thread there either. Just the same equally diverse set of styles and varied lyrical themes.

stoopid Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Yes, I am seeing a pattern emerging here. I'm seeing YOU continuing to escalate what started as a very minor situation into one that requires mod intervention. Now would be a good time for you to cut bait and get back to talking about the new SW album. Eggs were broken, omelettes were made. I thought they tasted pretty good.

IMO of all his prior output this is closest to In Absentia, and there was really no common thread there either. Yes there was. Yep. While the songs do not really connect musically, the serial killer theme is lyrically prevalent in most of the songs (The Sound of Muzak being the exception, along with the instrumental). That is part of what makes In Absentia so awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I listened to this album while mowing the lawn Saturday... probably not the best atmosphere... but I was really surprised at how much I didn't like it. HCE and 4.5 were some of my favorite releases from anyone in the past few years, and I've been absolutely pumped for this one. I really loved Pariah, The Same Asylum as Before and Permanating... Didn't care much for Song of I, while Refuge was a little too atmospheric and droning for my tastes (although the instrumental area in the middle is solid). Upon full listening, the only other track that stood out to me was Nowhere Now. Again, I haven't yet listened in ideal conditions, and I will be giving this album more attention. But I'm feeling a little crestfallen on this one at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 From MusicRadar.com Steven Wilson’s Craig Blundell: 10 drumming albums that changed my life 4. Rush - Exit... Stage Left (1981) “I absolutely did not understand what was going on with YYZ and tracks like that. It was beyond my musicality. "This was going to the next level for me with time signatures that didn’t feel right, but I liked that and wanted to know more. [Neil’s] part construction was very new to me with some strange phrasings and stickings. “Looking back at it, Neil was an absolute pioneer of this genre. He was playing in a three-piece band who played everything live. They were prolific in their songwriting, they wrote a lot of groundbreaking albums and were a soundtrack for the drummer’s drummer. "Outside Dave Lombardo, Neil was the first drummer I really fell in love with. He was the first poster on my wall. “For me, Neil brought drumming forward 30 or 40 years. That’s the sign of a great drummer to me – you listen to their music years on and it still stands the test of time.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I follow Craig on Facebook and he seems like a genuine, humble person truly enjoying the ride he is now on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willowroolz Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Cracking album, IMO. Only listened to the dts surround sound version so far, which is bloody marvellous. I like Permanating but I have to admit it still sticks out like a sore thumb, even in context on the album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
