[kj] OT: Grace for Drowning...opinions?

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

Bought it, didn't like it as much as his last solo album. Too prog-noodly, too po-faced ominous in places. I'm glad he's exorcising his indulgences in solo work rather than in Porcupine Tree, however. This is exactly what solo albums are for.

Steven Wilson remains obscenely prolific, however. I can't wrap my head around how much music this guy makes, while producing other bands and re-mastering the King Crimson back-catalogue and playing stadia in greece and italy etc. etc.

Brendan:  I prefer Wilson’s work with Porcupine Tree, personally. But this is a really good album, with some  gorgeous, lyrical tunes.  Without question, he’s one of the most talented musicians and songwriters out there today.

Listened to it about 4-5 times, still getting my head around it and trying not to compare to his first solo album, which is hard. Wilson’s hitting some really interesting keys / notes in his singing.
