>>53948862what's bad about it, OP?
based wilson
>>53949166more generic prog wank a la Wilson & The Voltas
>>53949187Jelly as fuck, mirin the prog golden boy.
this is his first bad solo albumwhat happened?
>>53949187But the mars volta isn't wankery, OP.And are you sure this steve wilson is wankery? From what I've heard there aren't many solo's that would classify as 'wankery'.
>>53949273Raven had TOTAL Volta wank moments of just pointless solos going nowhere and just showing offoverall the records both are inconsequential and fly by in an instant with little to no substance
>>53949273>>53949273https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaNDFM2vnHQFor some /mu/ plebs this classifies as "wankery"
>>53949227He can't stop making the same album, but with less and less actual content each time.I noticed a drop in quality with The Raven, and I'm not surprised to hear this isn't that good either.Oh well. I'm not really into prog at the moment, so I probably wouldn't have listened anyway.
>>53949321Insurgentes is his best solo album.
>>53949307the fuck, its less than 10 secondsthanks for being shit once again /mu/I'll have to check it out, thanks for posting a link!

>>53949396Yeah brah, I loved bound 2, that shit's dope as fuck.FUCK YOU HARD IN THE KITCHEN SINK , GET YOU SOMETHING TO DRINK
>>53949307that and the flute solo are the only decent parts of that gargantuan turd of a song
>>53949423Bound 2 is MUCH better than the dogshit in that video.>hating on Rapliteral fedora
>>53949307This is some real music son.
>>53949440ayyy lmao

>>53949466Bound 2 doesn't sound generic, sound cheesy, sound like it is trying to be something more than it is.
>>53949493>>53949493GEORGE BUSH DOESNT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE
>>53949423I can feel you more than you really knowI will love you more than I’ll ever showFucking barf

>>53949539>>53949568>average /mu/tants
>>53949568/pol/The fuck out of here. Such a le wong generation fag that the only modern music you can listen to is a literal carbon copy of 70s prog.
>>53949605>a literal carbon copy of 70s progif it was this maybe it would actually be goodalbum sounds like fuckin RadioheadRaven >>>>>>>>>> HCE
>>53949605Little baby's mad that another record is higher than his favourite record on RYM.:^)
Stating my superior opinion on an anonymous message board deserves my full attention since I have nothing better to do than being an autistic virgin.
>>53949629Not really lmaoJust wait a year or two and see if anyone gives a shit about this album then. :^)
>>53949605:^)
>>53949629>RYM
Lmao so many mad indiefags ITT
>>53949807it's not even good by prog standards quit lying to urself
>>53949807They literally cannot come with any criticism except wank, generic and fedora
>>53949396the fact that you say that something sounds like a fedora is really cringeworthy
>>53949862>>53949862Generic, bland, emotionless, and cheesy are all fair criticisms. What else do you want.
>>53949862I mean it sounds like Power Metal.Pretentious: trying to appear more profound than it really is.The record flies by in a second because there's nothing of substance.I already said this but apparently you didn't read the thread.
>>53949906Cool opinion man, most people disagree with it though. You are on the path to enlightenment. :^)
>>53949906Oh so you're one of the these faggots who listen to music for artificial feels
>>53949944>most people disagree with it*most prog fans disagree with it
>>53949954Literally the only reason to listen to music is for feelings.
>>53949907>power metallmao what
>>53949862his voice has no emotional range production is overly sterilelyrics are a cheese overloadperfect life is straight up fillerancestral sounds like some lame ass radiohead shitthere's not enough flute or saxhe still sounds like a neutered king crimson when he tries to get heavyband doesn't get much of a chance to shine, might as well be a bunch of no name session guyscorny ass sonic adventure guitar tone for the solos
>>53949954Not really, sure the music sounds nice, but it's nothing new. Give me a reason to listen to this instead of 70s prog that's the exact same but innovative at it's time and better?
>>53949907>I mean it sounds like Power Metal.fuck you don't compare this trash to power metal
>>53950001Give me a reason why you listen to modern indieshit instead of that Made in the 80s
>>53949995>Stop liking what I don't like>I'm a professional anonymous board 20 something music critic.>Why does he get all remastering and remixing jobs from papa Fripp and not me.>I don't like radiohead>Guthrie Govan has bad tone.TOPMOTHERFUCKINGLEL
>>53950001This post screams "le wrong generation"
>>53950043lol no one likes your boring ass album so you assume we're all rap or indiefagsnicefantasticjust greatgood job
>>53950063>he likes Radiohead and thinks his boy Steve's remasters aren't tinny shit
>>53950065>no one>melmao fucking nerd
>>53950064It's not. There is a bunch of fantastic music nowadays that is still innovate and enjoyable. Just cause this albums shit doesn't mean I think all modern music is shit.
>>53950088yeah I hate to break it to you but I'm not the only one in here naysaying
>>53949995Lmao this sounds like something Fandango would say >his voice has no emotional range Prog was never about strong vocals >production is overly sterileProg was never about rawness >lyrics are a cheese overloadProg is not for you >perfect life is straight up fillerIt is fitting in context >ancestral sounds like some lame ass radiohead shitNow that's retarded >there's not enough flute or saxIf there was they would say he copies Jethro Tull too much >he still sounds like a neutered king crimson when he tries to get heavyListen to Deadwing and say that again >corny ass sonic adventure guitar tone for the solosTop kek
>>53949493>Bound 2 doesn't sound generic, sound cheesy
>>53950065Yeah it's not like /mu/ used to love PT, Devin Townsend and Opeth before all the retarded pitchfork drones
>>53950143Name a song that sounds like Bound 2
>>53950086What headphones or speakers do you play your albums on? I got these badboys over here for casual listening and a pair of triangle speakers down in my listening room. His stuff sounds particularly good to me.
>>53950086Lmao faggot
>>53949986not sure whether i'm loving every lel here or not
>>53950188Give me an argument why I'm wrong and maybe I'll entertain it.
>>53950173MacFucking dropped :^)
>>53950086>>53950173Holy smokes son you just got BTFO.
Reminder Steven Wilson has more patrician taste than you http://stevenwilsonhq.com/sw/playlist-archive/
>>53950228He also doesn't have a music education, and also makes uninspiring music (possibly as a result).
>>53950168That's easy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbEyS6yBOBw
>>53950253Wow, You just described /mu/

>>53950203whats the matter son? What headphones do you use? I'm still waiting for your answer you probably are an expert in sound quality.
>>53950308...what?it's literally documented that he lacks a music education>>53950336Why, exactly?I find that only underage posters do all caps shit like you have been doing. /b/ posters do that.
>>53950300Look at this cuck
>>53950361I'm mad at a man that has gotten further in the field and gotten more recognition with little to no musical education than I will ever get.
>>53950403literally where do you get that from
>>53950403Because he is more talented than you And it took him almost 20 years to get significant acclaim
>>53950139>prog was never aboutworst defense for this album I've read>fitting in contextmaybe in context of the story but in context of the album it's still shit. sorry. Spoken word and then a build up repeating the same thing over and over is just lazy. >Prog is not for you I love prog, this is just too much>Listen to Deadwing and say that again I'm talking about this album in particular you fucking idiot>>53950173bose qc15s and some sort of sony speakers, I'm not sure. I have original presses of most of these on vinyl and they sound a ton fucking better than the remixes. Completely removed the balls on Thick as a Brick, A Passion Play and Close to the Edge. Yeah it's clearer, big fucking whoop. Where's the bass? It's interesting to hear the stuff he brings to the forefront and jams back in there but it's more of a novelty listen than anything else. >>53950162/mu/ isn't one person, genius
>>53950300LOL @ all these entitled bitter indie music fags hating on successful people u guys always know how to make me smile
>>53950465>bose>some sony speakersget the fuck out of my sight you poor pleb. Holy fuck lmao.
>>53950481How am I hating on Steven at all? I'm hating on the album, not him.
>>53950403>>53950481so waitjust because I mentioned having a music education, in response to >>53950272>Wow, You just described /mu/That means I'm JEALOUS of Wilson?For working in a field I have no interest in, making music I'm not interested in?...you guys are autistic or something.
>>53950481LOL @ all these entitled bitter indie music fags hating on successful people like Kanye West and Taylor Swiftu guys always know how to make me smile
>>53950505oh boy the 'a' word again. enjoy your musicians life of poverty
>>53950505Stay jelly
>>53950532>>53950544I'm just confused why you think I'm jealous.
>>53950465>Where's the bass?
>>53950494lol what's it even matter when you're comparing the original to the remix. I've listened on actually decent speakers at a friends house and we all agreed it sounded shit in comparison to the original vinyl. One of them even has the overpriced TaaB remix on vinyl from the box and it sounds just as bad
>>53950505>That means I'm JEALOUS of Wilson?Uh actually it does. You could just not listen to the album if its not your particular cup of tea. But you made a thread on /mu/ about how bad you think it is.
>>53950568yeah sorry, guess I just like the music to have impact
>>53950570Come back when you have decent headphones and speakers small son.
>>53950584Because god forbid we have some music discussion on /mu/.would you rather me start a "can you spell crap without rap" thread?
>>53950606too bad all your money can't buy good taste
>>53950584TOLD
this is the fastest Steven Wilson thread I've seen this weweek and it's filled with shitposting The first few threads were actually decent
>>53950619Come back when you've listened to remixes and vinyl pressings like they're supposed to be heard.You still bought bose headphones with whatever money you had. You have shit taste on a budget.
>>53950628SW fans are worse than Tool fans
>mfw I never heard this album>mfw I'm still shitting all over it ITTGimme dem tears
>>53950651:^)
>>53950615You're not discussing music though, you're using buzzwords and shitposting about how overrated you think Steven Wilson is.>>53950651ebin
>>53950650Kanye fan spotted
>>53950641>Come back when you've listened to remixes and vinyl pressings like they're supposed to be heard.looks like we got a joker on our hands here
>>53950622How.It's obvious you're the same as >>53950336>>53950663oh my god can Steve Wilson fans just NOT take criticism?! fucking hellsee >>53949305>>53949493>>53949907
>>53950615
>>53950641>paying money for placebos
>>53950672
>>53950690AH-HA HONEY!!!
>>53950704>Being poor
>>53950690Im not talking about >>53949305>>53949493>>53949907faggot I'm talking about OP and people who use buzzwords as critique for an album. I'm not even a big fan of this album, I'm just sick of people shitposting every time Steven Wilson's name is mentioned.
>>53950775I AM OP.I used some buzzwords but READING THE THREAD + CRITICAL THINKING would get you to read my actual CRITIQUES.But no, it's obvious I'm JEALOUS of a Prog musician.God fucking dammit.Why do I even try on /mu/ when faggots like the people here put fingers in their ears?
Hey boys, remember that time when Anthony Fagtano reviewed the Raven and said the mellotron sounded like a shitty plugin and it turned out it was the same mellotron Robert Fripp used on ITCOTKK?:^)
>>53950821op your gay>>53950845i do remember that and i was so upset i turned it off and now i dont like fangando anymore
>>53950821>I used some buzzwordsIt's all over now.....you threw yourself into the pit of fire
>>53950845Yeah fantano's a dumbass, nothing new here. Raven was a solid album.This one isn't though. Deal w/it nerds
>>53950845Oh god I hope this is true haha. I know Steven Wilson is tight with those guys cause he did the engineered/oversaw all the reissues of their records on CD/LP a few years back.
>>53950845I do.That has nothing to do with this album being mediocre.
>>53950869 I think its a good album. Lyrics are utterly terrible though. Awful.
>>53950845Or that the title track is soulless or something >>53950865
>>53950845
Well I just want to tell you I am friend with that Gallifrey guy whose 2014 AOTY was Kairon Irse and in 2013 The Raven and >>53950958who is a huge Steven Wilson fanboy and even he thinks this album is mediocre.
>dropped $40 on this guy's last album and had it in my top 10 >tfw his dipshit fanboys accuse me of being a Kanye fan (god forbid) when I say his new one is mediocre (lol buzz word xDDDDD)
>>53951222nice trips
>>53951288nice dubs this is a great thread
>>53951288thanks, your dubs are just fine as well
It's funny how the shitposters here were almost exclusively the Wilson fanbois.
>top album of year on RYM>suddenly hurr durr worst album evarrCan this board go 10 minutes without turning into contrarian nerdniggers
>>53951373>suddenly hurr durr worst album evarrlol no one is saying this u aspie
>>53951373Sauna was AOTY and there wasn't any memehatred.There wasn't any memehatred of Viet Cong.This album is just shit m8.Don't be a fucking closeminded idiot.
>>53951392>Sauna was AOTY and there wasn't any memehatred.>6/10
>>53951442That wasn't memehatred, that was just meme. It wasn't actually critiquing the album as was done in this thread.
>>53951442>6/10literal trolling
>>53951373Only because mostly Wilson die-hards have listened to it and rated it.It's pretty shite.
>>53951491not just Wilson diehards; prog diehardsjust look at the 2005 chart
>>53951516RYM loves to give out 4 to 4.5 star reviews for prog rock and metal, its ridiculous
>>53948862what bands do you like op?
>>53951933lots of stuff across most all genres.If I gave you specific names then you'd just overreact and pretend they're shit.
>>53951964oh no, tell me

I really enjoyed the album, different from his previous albums, had some really catchy parts, I'd give it an 8.5/10. To each their own though.
