It's worse that most of the preceding albums but it's still a frikkin good album.

Aw shit man, I've been way off track; my opinion was all "Shit sucks, brohan" and I'm all "DOOD EYE NOSE THAT". I appreciate you letting me know!

 :angel: It (mostly) sucks. This coming from a man who'd suck off Steven Wilson just to say I did. I wouldn't even want a pat on the head or anything. TI was a boring, uninspired, dull, overly drawn-out experience. Every other album is glorious in its own right but for as many times as I've tried to get into TI, there's just as many times that I've said to myself that it just isn't for me (except for in extremely depressing circumstances in regards to I Drive The Hearse and the 2nd disc, though even then...kinda meh).

Agree to disagree. Or we can power up and do some Kamehamehas.

...and start again, with our lives

What is the voice saying at the beginning of The Incident?


I always think he is looking at a huge yard of grass that needs to be cut and he is saying, "Get to mow, this shit"

Exactly what I thought at first, but later it became apparent it was "you get demolished". :lol

As for the album, sometimes I can't stand to listen to it, other times I think it's pretty enjoyable. All about my mood I guess.

Let me rectify this statement and say that it should not be rectified. Ever.

So confused. :huh: :lol   I liked the stuff not related to "The Incident" (the song) a fair bit better, but I may need to give it more spins to see if that opinion holds.

Ironically enough, I Drive The Hearse is my least favorite part. Feels completely tacked on, like it's not part of the song sequence at all. Second disc is a bunch of meh songs. The rest of The Incident? Fantastic album.

So...
Is that like, a hawaiian inspired cocktail or something? Well, it is the right time of year for summer beverages.

Anyway, I really like The Incident. I'll often intend to just sit down and listen to a few tracks from disc 1, and find myself listening to the whole thing. Disc two has some great stuff as well.

I first heard it as "you get to pull this shit" as some cynical accusation that is characteristic of Steven's lyrics. But "get demolished" makes more sense.


EDIT: That video link is interesting. I guess it isn't either of those things. I can't figure out what the heck he's saying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4j8Nh3XyAo

that makes it pretty obvious that he's saying two slightly different phrases: first, something like "get them all the shovel," then, "get them all with a shovel." the "with a" is rushed so that it fits in the same space of beats, but it's definitely not in the other phrase. regardless, it's still inconclusive :(

Ah that.

"You get demolished" sounds like a Wilson lyric, but yeah, it does sound like "You get to mow this shit".

So I got my picture taken by a SW lookalike today at the Canada Day festival. Seriously, the resemblance was uncanny. The only difference was his hair was this dark reddish-brownish colour that was different. But he had the glasses, pretty much the same facial hair, and a very similar face. And the hair aside from the colour was pretty much identical as well.

I used to look a bit like him when my hair was about shoulder length, and I got told I sound quite a lot like him at a Steve Hackett gig (Hackett didn't have his glasses on).

So for the longest time I haven't played my DTS 5.1 of "Deadwing".  Yesterday my cousin and I played that and the Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" DTS 5.1 with my new HDMI reciever and was just blow away by both.

From SW's twitter today (posted as one thought, even though it took him three tweets to get it all out :lol):

Quote
OK guys, if an SW or PT tour doesn't come to your town it's not because I/we pointedly *chose* not to come, I love to go everywhere....either there's no interest from local promoters, I can't cover the costs of doing the show, of it doesn't work out routing wise.  But the next SW band album/tour starting in early 2013 should cover a lot more countries and cities, watch this space...

So, the good news is that he still mentions PT, so those rumors are them being done are likely bogus, but he also mentions there being another solo tour early next year, so that means even longer till we finally get some new PT material.  Let the crying commence...;) :biggrin:

To be honest, I think one of the reasons why PT has been put on hold is because SW doesn't really know where to go next. I don't think The Incident offered that much new to the table. (And by that I'm not saying it's bad, but it's more of a mishmash between everything PT had done to the point, then taking a new direction)

I don't think that's it; I just think he is having a blast with the band he is working with now and wants to keep that going for as long as the creative juices regarding that are flowing and whatnot.  I don't think he wants PT to become an outlet for his jazz or classic prog-inspired writings, especially since Richard Barbieri hates jazz and is more of an atmospheric sound creator than player.  And the stuff SW is currently doing is probably the most "showy" stuff he's ever done from a playing standpoint.

The best guess is probably that it's several reasons. Obviously I think what you said is his main reason, but obviously there will be other minor things as well.
I only hope that it doesn't evolve into what happened with Pendulum, people asking SW all the time about PT while he's enjoying his solo-stuff, and he'll eventually go "this is my main thing now".

To be fair, I think GfD and Insurgentes are both equally awesome (if not better) to PT's best albums. So if he would disband PT and go for the solo-stuff (theoretically) I don't think I would mind that much. Sure, loosing PT would be sad, but I'd still be knowing that he would make awesome music.

It's pretty much a combo of these. In a recent interview he said hes having fun with the SW band, that The Incident wasn't as good as it could have been/as he wanted (but still was proud of it), and he doesn't know where to take the next album/wants to avoid PT sounding like more of the same.

I just noticed this and realized Heartattack is probably my favourite on the album. Both insane.
