"Such an interesting sound, I appreciate it and what it tries to achieve, but I feel like there's no movement, the album isn't dynamic enough." Reply

"In the mid 90s one still felt rock music hadn't exhausted its possibilities of progression. The amount of new, exhilarating stuff coming from Japan at this time certainly pushed that idea aside. In America, some of the most innovative rock was being labeled "math rock" and Polvo, with their own u..." [+] Reply
"In a similar vein to This Nations Saving Grace, Bend Sinister is probably their most commercial album, it is high on melody and has an indie-pop feeling to it. Still plenty of lyrical gems can be found and things still venture off the beaten path as you would expect. Included here is Mr Pharmacis..." [+] Reply
"A soulful album a little different & softer than his debut Curtis but just as solid. Underground & We Got to Have Peace are great songs along with Get Down which makes this a must for soul fans." Reply

"This is actually a very good comeback album, which comes as a surprise as while I'm a fan of both the OG band and Steven Wilson's solo material, I have not liked the guys recent solo releases at all.
