Hand. Cannot. Erase.

Oh prog off, you prog.

Wow I have no idea what to make of this! What WAS it. I often complain that albums are too samey but wow this was all over the place. And I'm not sure that was a good thing. No coherence. Despite it being varied I still didn't like the songs individually. Too long too

This is modern indie prog rock and I do not love it. The bigger than life concepts have been around for a while but this felt like took that a step further with this album. Some songs were quick and other were way too long. This album suffered from being disorganized. It’s an adventurous attempt but falls flat for me. 5.8/10

Interesting, but I wouldn't add it to any Best Album list.

Faaaaar toooooo looooong

Not that great. It was too long for what it was. Nothing really stood out and the dial did not move much on it.

This LP has no idea what it wants to be, and all the guises it tries on are equally annoying. There are longer sections of breezy radio-friendly pop that give way to boring attempts at pummeling hardcore, all that circling back to plucky synth pop that should’ve stayed in the ‘aughts. At its completion, this album gives me no sense of what Wilson was trying to accomplish or what kind of artist he wants to be, even though he tried damn hard for an hour to convince me otherwise.

This is too neat and clean mor my taste. Steven Wilson is being music's equivalent of that annoying OCD neighbour who manages to have his garden pristine on every day of the year. Not a single piece of weed or dirt - no room for some wild out of bounds things that might appear if you give them room. Musically it's all very well done, but with all the wrinkles professionally ironed out, it's fails to actually grab me. I like to actually be in my garden, not look at it from inside the house.

Probably the most pretentious album on this list which is some accolade!

I like the proggier bits, but the rest sounds like emo musical theatre.

I just can't with prog sometimes man, sorry.

As if the guy from Erasure, Andrew Lloyd Webber and The Manic Street Preachers got pissed and decided to write a musical together. Then they wrote it with a beastly hangover.

I don't understand the appeal of this. It's so bland.
