While I love The Raven a little bit more, I'd have no problem with anyone saying Grace... is his best solo album.  In fact, all four of his solo albums are so good, I can see a good argument for any of them being the best (even though I rate Insurgentes quite a bit lower than the other three; still like it a ton, though).

I love HCE a lot, and Raven to me is still his most cohesive, complete work and truly one of the only concept albums I can sit through entirely and not notice that I went through an album. But Grace is still my absolute favorite because of both the cohesiveness and the fact that I can pick out any song on the album and listen to it alone and still love it just as much as listening to the album or picking any other random song. It's also got one of the best bonus discs of all the timelines. Insurgents was a fantastic start and I love all the songs, it's just that I love the songs on Grace a bit more. With the glaring, massive exception of Veneno, which will make me cry every motherfucking time.

I dunno why the simplicity of The Map hits me so hard, but I love that song so fucking much. It's one of the most relaxing yet eerie, dreary songs there is, I think. I'm prone to those types of instrumentals though (and instrumentals in general, if done the way I like 'em).

I'd rank them GFD > Insurgentes > Raven > HCE probably. Still impressive that he cranks out a new album every other year (considering how much he puts into each album).

I find it very hard to rank SW's solo albums. They're all fantastic. Probably I'd go with HCE > Raven > GfD > Insurgentes, but the former three are really almost equally amazing.

I was at a parade today (I'm in a marching band) and they had Trains blasting on the loud speaker at the end of the parade before step-off.
Nice! I went to see my friend's band live a few years ago at an outdoors event and the first disc of The Incident was being played on the PA system while they were preparing for the soundcheck. I also noticed that Deadwing (the whole album) was on the jukebox in a bar a week ago.

The much more difficult question is picking your 10 favorite songs from Steven Wilson's solo career thus far... :biggrin:

The Raven That Refused to Sing
The Watchmaker
Routine
Deform to Form a Star
Raider II
Driver Home
Remainder the Black Dog
Salvaging
The Pin Drop
The Holy Drinker

Fucking DTF. Shit, man.  :rollin :rollin :lol :corn :metal

 :millahhhh

I'd like to express my love for Home In Negative. That is one of my favorites as well, again from a bonus disc. I dunno what it is about Wilson's bonus discs, but very often some of my favorites are not on the actual album but on either a b-side/bonus/demo releases. The last line of 'Summer me all Winter' gives me the bumps of geese every damn time. Such beautiful! So harmony!

Oh man, this is going to be hard...

1. Luminol
2. Remainder the black dog
3. Raider II
4. Routine
5. The Raven that refused to sing
6. The Watchmaker
7. Perfect life
8. Ancestral
9. Happy returns
10. Belle de jour

The first two can switch places every now and then, and the 6-10 might switch around. Also worth mentioning: Like dust I have cleared from my eye, 3 years older, Index, The Holy drinker, Track one and maybe Insurgentes, because it would be fair to choose at least one song from the debut.

I mean this as a compliment (because it's my all time favorite PT song)... but doesn't the over all theme and feel of this album remind you of a 65 minute version of Heartattack in a Layby?

So the setlist for the first RAH show is up and man what a show it must have been. I really hope someone from DTF was there and can give their thoughts on the show. I also really wish these two nights were being filmed.

I read what someone wrote earlier about SW feeling that it was difficult
to capture the energy of the show (or something to that affect) but tbh, although Raven sucked me in pretty much instantly with just a listen, i had a more difficult time getting into his other solo stuff and an even harder time getting hooked on PT (probably didn't help that the very first album I bought was OTSOL... Which I really like parts of today btw). What really hooked me and drew me in was when I started buying the various concert films and watching the live performances.

I think I saw The Watch Maker vid first then I bought the GAYD BD and loved it, then started watching PT vids on YouTube that were recommended here (Anesthitize was the first) and Them bought up all the live BD/DVDs i could get and have been hooked ever since.

It was a very good show.

Loved the new song (a holdover from the 'Hand. Cannot. Erase.' sessions); had leaky eyes during Routine. Ninet forgot a bucketload of words but what a voice - and that scream was blood curdling.

Hardcore Wilson fans will likely disagree but Drag Ropes felt superfluous to me. Nice to see Akerfeldt although surprised he only sang (does he play guitar on the Storm Corrosion album? I'm sure he does).

There was an artist on stage before the show began, silently sketching. She eventually packed up after the intro tape began to roll. Couldn't quite see who it was but it turned out to be the actress in the 'Hand. Cannot. Erase.' video production. Along with Lasse Hoile, the lady who does the animations and Ninet, she was introduced at the end of the show.

Overall, I preferred the production at the Manchester show several months ago but like I said, a very good show. Still astonished it wasn't filmed (although I knew it wouldn't be beforehand): surely one of the shows from this tour must be? The video presentation is just marvellous.

Looking forward to tonight's show.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the show :-). Too bad she didn't remember all the words though.... Maybe that's (one of the reasons) why he didn't want to film it; The possibility/likelyhood of mistakes in such a big one off undertaking that are most likely forgiven by the live audience but might be more scrutinized on a video release.

Wish I could have been there... Looking forward to hearing about tonight's show!

Nice setlist. The one tonight is the exciting one though, I think there will be some really great picks in it. If I could only attend one show, it would have been the one tonight, but sadly I will have to read about it on setlist.fm.

Drag Ropes had reportedly been rehearsed in the soundcheck at another show, so its inclusion is not a surprise to me. Anyway, I can't wait to see which songs get played tonight!

Yeah, I don't understand why he wouldn't play Transience as well. Would love to hear/see that live.

I was trying to see if anyone had posted anything from last nights show on youtube... although didn't have high hopes since most people tend to respect it if he ask not to record (which I'm not sure if he did at last nights show) but I did stumble across this which I hadn't seen before so I got my new SW live material fix partially filled (it's a sanctioned drum cam video of Home Invasion from a sound check in Luxembourg).
