"Really good for an 80s band releasing in 2022. No Small Thing is my favorite single of the year so far, it's so good and uplifting!"  Reply

Even on Feet of Clay, there were plenty of high moments within it's short run-time. As much as I've tried to get into this record, and respect it for what it is — an artist finding peace and clarity within his life and music — most of the album just passes by without making much of an impression. That's not to say this is a bad record, though. It has a few stronger tracks, like Tabula Rasa, 2010, and Fire in the Hole (which make up about 10.5 minutes of the 23-minute run-time). Apart from those, the rest of the album feels pretty inconsequential, especially compared to the rest of Earl's discography. "  [+]  Reply

Singles Harridan and Of The New Day open the album up strongly, and later songs like Walk the Plank and Never Have (the most Wilsonian of the batch) provide important variation to what is a slog of a project. Despite this, it's ultimately a bit too long to justify songs like Dignity and Chimera's Wreck, but die-hards will still be happy with these. It does sound overall more like a Wilson album than Porcupine Tree proper, but it's a solid return for the iconic group."  [+]  Reply

"Really good debut from music collective/“spud” murphy come-uppers/Corbynite rockers/Black Country New Road-but-folky Caroline. I’ve long thought just doing Dirty Three but with vocals would spell over great, but this is that and quite a bit more too; a promising new act."  Reply

I've tried to give this a good listen and not get caught up in the hype. I've gotta say - the musicianship (especially the chemistry between Fusciante, Flea and Chad and their individual brilliance) is outstanding at times, but there are a couple of things that prevent this from being a great album. I'd at least say it's a good album, especially in the first half. Firstly, Keidis...previously I loved his gibberish (worked especially well with the funk)...it just fit in perfectly, and even then amongst the random indiscernible nonsense there were metaphors that you would love, and could at least subconciously relate to. Not so much the case here... I think largely in this album the songwriting is just not on the same level as when these guys were on fire (eg. BSSM and Californication) - to be expected at this stage in their career sadly. It started off so promisingly with the first two tracks and I think it fluctuates in quality from there. There's absolutely no doubt the other trio have matured over the journey and have reached new heights with their respective instruments. I think Flea shines the most on this album. Secondly, as some have indicated - this has too many songs and it feels at times like they were stretched for ideas and just jammed on them - really it becomes a bit tiresome listening right through. Having said all that - there are some great moments, the quality of the production is great and the Chili Peppers were clearly having fun, so it keeps you coming back."  [+]  Reply

And I don't mean it as a compliment. In my opinion, from Drones on, Muse have started to drop in quality both lyrically (same old stuff about playing the part of the oppressed and not being controlled) and musically (the only way to find new inspiration is to sound weird and spooky). Quite ironically my favorite tracks from the last two albums are respectively Propaganda and You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween, two of the least Muse-sounding tracks. This is because the other songs feel just like Old Muse ripoffs in one way or another: Will Of The People shares the same main features (rhythm, lyrics) as Uprising; Liberation is basically United States Of Eurasia 2 (Freddie Mercury is around the corner); Won't Stand Down and Kill Or Be Killed are a blunt throwback to that metal sound of their early 00s;, Euphoria, with its cheesy lyrics and fast tempo, is Revolt 3 (just like Get Up And Fight was Revolt 2). And I could go on. I think it's just automatic that, at some point, a band runs out of juice. I remember listening to The 2nd Law and thinking "this band has not released one single song that sounds the same as another". But this album is the definite proof, after a good portion of Drones and almost the entirety of Simulation Theory that Muse haven't got much left to say."  [+]  Reply
