I'm sure he will, as he did with The Raven album the whole tour. Don't miss that concert, it's amazing.

Apparently Steven once said that he would rather make the listener feel something than write some "complicated shit". While the musicianship on Hand. Cannot. Erase. is certainly of high quality, I would say that he succeeded in his aspiration to make an emotionally gripping album too. Another good release from one of my favorite musicians.

That said, I don't think that this album is mind-blowing, it is great, but not incredibly great.

Ancestral live version is unbelievable, one of the best performances I've ever seen https://youtu.be/qFwcahcDzP4

Edit:

Although I have to add that this album is a little weak, and some tracks a pretty boring. If it wasn't for the aforementioned "Ancestral", "Transience" although it's a short track, the title track is okay as well and the other 2 longer tracks "Home Invasion" & "First Regret" are worth repeated listed but nothing mind blowing. I prefer "To The Bone" or "The Raven" over this one to be honest.

Very emonational album and i think this is Steve's best solo album along with The Raven. In terms of production and sound quality, this albums absolutely rocks. Also 5.1 surround mix version is mind blowing. It feels more enjoyable to listen to the 5.1 version
