Disc 2 is the best part of The Incident.
This. I can't bear to listen to Disc 1 anymore. It's too disappointing. There's a few moments where I'll get into it and the music picks up and I can see where Wilson was going with this project. But in the end, it's so fucking bland and boring that I forget this is the man whose made some of my most beloved music. He did not blow his load on TI; not even once. I see no inspiration in the album, it's very straightforward; I feel like the music doesn't leave much to the imagination, if that makes any sense. I mean, it isn't as if I dislike the album entirely, as I said there's a few moments where I'll get goosebumps and really be into it (Blind House, beginning of The Incident, The Seance and I Drive The Hearse) but for the most part, I feel completely and utterly underwhelmed.
The Incident as a whole is like looking at a very attractive, stark naked woman... but after I've already blown my load. It's like, hey lady, you're nice to look at but I'm fresh out of fishies, so why don't you go do something productive; go get a job, go see if that deer you ran over the other day is alright, you said it was limping so maybe it's still alive! She listens, and does all these things, and then when she comes back I'm ready to go, cause I'm a hard working man, don't'cha know!? But alas, she's tired and wants to sleep, while I've gotta date with Mr. Righty. That's what The Incident is, it's just too much effort to listen to that whole spiel and I get hardly anything out of it save for the aforementioned songs. Or handjob. Whichever. Either way, Wilson can do much, much better. So can Bernice.
Disc 2 is a different story. It's like the freedom and creativity randomly came out and he decided to be a badass again. Sigh. Here's hoping when PT gets back in the game that there's true inspiration to be had...instead of a fender bender.
