It's new music day! (A recommendation.)

Based on a friend's suggestion in another forum, I tried and bought Steven Wilson's latest album "The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)."
 
You may have heard of him as the founder of Porcupine Tree.
 
It's definitely a winner and well worth checking out!
 
Damn...  I just discovered that the entire album is available to be listened to on YouTube HERE.
 
Enjoy!

    Hope it's better than the two Blackfield albums I bought after someone else here raved about him. If not, I'll be back to ask you for a refund on an hour of my life. ;)

    Wilson is somebody you like or not. Saw him in concert a while back and found that 2 hours is too much sonic mayhem.
     
    Porcupine tree seems a little more accessible to me.

    This album seem more cohesive than his first two.  (So less sonic mayhem if you will!)
     
    Much more like a classic Floyd album actually.

    I'll give it a spin, thanks for the tip.

    I liked it. Not enough to pay money for it, but I liked it. Check out Liquid Tension Experiment (proto-Dream Theater) if you like that sort of thing. Same kind of self-indulgent show-off flash but without the annoying atonal fingernails-on-a-chalkboard sounds.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Heh, me likey Liquid Tension Experiment already (Tony Levin is one of my favorite bass players).   I've got Liquid Tension Experiment 1 & 2 as well as Liquid Trio Experiment's Spontaneous Combustion.
