I've been thinking back and forward about getting the deluxe of the new album or not, and it's hard to make up my mind. I do own both Grace and Raven and they are both beautiful and totally worth their price. But on the other hand they are mostly just standing in my book shelf collecting dust. The money is really not an issue for me, but I have a few other things I have been thinking about buying, and so I'm not quite sure what I will prioritize.

I am really liking this song.  In fact the chorus keeps getting stuck in my head - which is not necessarily a bad thing.

I just pulled the trigger and ordered the deluxe edition... I was also going back and forth but as a relatively new fan of SW and PT I don't have any special editions of anything from the back catalogue (but yeah a couple of my DT box sets among others also collect dust so IDK...). I guess other than the packaging I'm doing it for the exclusive content (which will probably be downloadable at some point but still...).

I do kind of wish he had made HCE downloadable for those who pre-ordered (any version) now rather than having having to buy it on iTunes separately (which i haven't done yet but knowing myself I just might).

Jordan is actually DT's tax advisor. He just happens to do their taxes on stage, that's why he has that iPad there.

Wow! Fascinating read. Love the references to several classical works in there. I happened to be listening to a Sibelius symphony when I read that. And the Messiaen quote as well. Haunting.

I appreciate the level of effort he's putting into the ancillary stuff to the album. I hope the music lives up to it.

I'm gonna try my best to avoid the side-stuff and just wait for the album, which probably won't be a problem. Kind of a bummer that he's dropping the album so early during the year, because from my own historical point of view, albums dropped in the first 3-4 months very rarely have the legs to be up there among my favorites at the end of the year. No matter the artist or album, that has just been the case for me. For some reason it seems that most of the best stuff drops in the second half of the year, and the albums you are really digging during January/February/March kinda gets lost in the mix somewhere.

I don't have any expectations for this to be a top10 album of 2015, but as long as it's a good album, I will be happy, and knowing that it is Steven Wilson, it most likely will be. There's always something to admire about his albums. Even an album like Raven, which I think was his weakest solo album, and nowhere near as good as the praise it got, it was still a great sounding album, had a great concept behind it, some beautiful imagery (The Raven music video), and some good music.

Oh shit, have you guys seen he's announced some US dates?? Boston (5/22), Portland (6/16), and Seattle (6/17). Big gap in between obviously, so I'm sure there's a lot more waiting to be confirmed. It looks like if he does come to Denver it will be right around when I'm supposed to leave for Alaska, fuuuuck.

Just heard the single, and it is really, really good. Very poppy, a completely different direction than previous solo work I'd say. Really looking forward to this one.

I only wish I could listen to it more.  It's streaming only, and doesn't seem to work on my tablet...only my laptop.  So I can't listen to it on the go, or in my car. 

I *loved* my first time through, and I will listen to it again tomorrow after work.  I don't feel comfortable giving any opinions until I've had several run throughs....but I did LOVE it.

Ok....resized for spoilers....but as a disclaimer, it's really NOT that spoiler-y at at all.   Just very vague first impressions. 

It's a lot to digest after just *one* single listen.  I will say that the various samples that I've heard from the three "in the studio" videos that we've all seen are VERY representative of the feel of the over all album.

One insight I will offer...and I can't even tell you if I feel good or bad about it yet...is that of everything I've heard from SW, this album sound (to me...IMO) the most like it could have been a PT album.    The epic track at the end (the title slips my mind at the moment, and it's not in front of me as I type this) in particular had a lot of similarity to "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" to my ears.    Upon repeated listens, this *could* turn out to be a good thing or a bad thing.  Only time will tell. 

It is different enough from PT to be an SW solo album, but many of the heavier parts in particular sound like they could have been lifted directly from Deadwing.   But there are throwbacks to the earlier "atmospheric" material.     I really have to give it a couple more spins.   It's a lot to absorb in one sitting.

Or when you see Jammin post, just don't read it. Maybe putting spoiler headings will help, Jammin. Perhaps a separate thread? Buttholes are sensitive round these here parts. They're a precious thing, those beautiful buttholes.

Sounds awesome though, I would assume that SW is smart enough to put a varied amount on the samplings from the studio videos to represent the album while not giving the big moments away. He's pretty meticulous.

Maybe some people don't care about spoilers and would like to read information regarding the upcoming Steven Wilson album in the Steven Wilson thread? I can appreciate that you guys don't want to know much before you have the album yourselves, but perhaps you could also appreciate that other people don't give a shit about doing that themselves.

That's usually why there's separate threads, because some people don't give a shit that you need to know as much as early as possible :)

Personally, I don't think it's spoiler-ish at all and I quite enjoy reading it over. But yeah, either delete this and repost it in a new thread meant for 'spoilers' or just resize it.

That website is really interesting. Incredibly well-written and authentic for something that's just promotion for an album. I wonder if it's going to be updated?

Also, the title track that got released a while back is really nice. I like how it's very modern sounding as opposed to all the 70s prog and jazz of the last two albums.

I'm quite excited for this album, hopefully it continues the upward trend his solo albums have been following for me.

If you want to avoid spoilers, avoid the thread. Simple as that, really. You know there's a new album coming out, and that things about said album are bound to be revealed before the release, and that people are bound to discuss said details. I'm fed up with holding back on something I feel excited about, just in case I "ruin" something for someone by revealing it "too early".

Also...

I've never understood how you can spoil music. I mean it's not a movie. It's not like reading "I love the guitar-riff towards the middle" completely ruins the song because you know what will happen.
