This is the best album of the last 20 years, and possibly since the glory days of classic rock. Every song on this album is a masterpiece, with the possible exceptions of Gravity Eyelids, Prodigal, and Strip the Soul. The opening four song battery of Blackest Eyes, Trains, Lips of Ashes, and The Sound of Muzak is second only to Moving Pictures for the best opening gauntlet of songs ever. The back side of this album features some of the most emotionally charged songwriting of all time.
A solid album without fireworks.
As you can tell by the number of albums represented in my Top 40, Steven Wilson has had a huge impact on me. This is where it all started. He possibly could have shortened the album by two songs (not that there are any average songs on the album) but otherwise a perfect listen. Ultimate favourite track: Trains
This album is one of the more unique listening experiences I've had. It fluctuates between bright shimmering pop melodies and twisted metallic riffs as it goes excruciatingly deep into the mind of a serial killer with some severely messed up fetishes. Highly recommended, and a great starting point if you're new to the band.
OmidIt may not be their greatest album,but it's an undisputed outstanding achievement,a praiseful album.
an_outlawThe Creator Has A Mastertape was the best moment.
