| IMO Steven Wilson should stick with Porcupine Tree |
|

| Variety is key on this album. It is quite difficult to swallow. I unfortunately was expecting a bit more out of it but there is no question of the sad atmosphere. Wilson will a genius when it comes to this. I find it a very difficult album to review and I feel that comparing it to PPT is unfair. PPT is definitely a big shadow to get out of. |

definitely a hard album to review, but you missed out on some key features, like the big electronic music influence, and the less prominent noise/drone one. also, this is most certainly not the average Porcupine Tree listener's cup of tee, as, unlike Steven's main band, this music isn't that accessible and catchy, it is also less progressive and more experimental.
i would rather recommend this to experimental music lovers, and fans of Bass Communion rather than to slow rock lowers. this album may not be fast but it is heavy and has a thick atmosphere, something few slow rockers share. |

I've first heard what Steven released in his Myspace, and actually it was pretty much disappointing.
Yesterday, a package with his album came to our CD Store, so I opened it any first thing listened to the album. It was much better, I mean, I hate to listen to singles or different songs not in order.
It is an album that is hard to swallow. I bought 2 copy's (For my girlfriend too of course (: ) and I've listened to it and it is much better, although I think there's nothing new there, only a bit heavier in some parts and different "experimental" sounding (because porcupine tree isn't just progressive, IMO). |

Not bad guest musicians! I haven't heard many songs from the album, but I agree that he should stick to PT.
Porcupine Tree is my favourite band, but strangely enough I don't really enjoy any other of Stevens projects. It's not really the lack of heaviness in the other bands/albums that puts me off, I simply think the songs he's writing for Porcupine Tree are so much higher in quality. |

| It's been the only cd i've heard since i bought it last week!!! by the way, there's an exclusive edition at FNAC that includes the booklet signed by Steven Wilson, great present for any fan ^^ |

|
| I'll try to check this sooner or later, so thanks for the review. |
|
|
|
| This is great great news.I didnt even know he was working on a solo project. Must check it out ASAP. |
|
|
|
| It is a very good album and takes many listens for it to sink in. No Twilight in the courts of the Sun is my favorite track ad is the most progressive/experimental track I've heard from Wilson in a long time. |

|
| Tony Levin and Jordan Rudess plays on the album:) Cool |
|
|
|
| Amazing album...for real! |
|

|
| What the hell is up with the 'postcard' thing ? Call me a noob, but I can't make sense of the postcard references, or "...is that "Insurgentes" is clearly not Flower". Flower ? Maybe I missed a class in metal-slang 101, but i'm confused. Anybady care to englighten me ? |

Might add by the way, good .album. (or postcard, whatever you wish to call it). I have the normal retail version, as well as the limited pre-order vinyl edition.

An amazing album.
i think it's the best album that Steven Wilson has ever done IMO (and i really like PT), this one is just in a whole other level of depth. |
|
|
|
| This album is something else for me. Very bleak and disturbing, just how I like Steven's work! |
