Well, out of SW solo album covers, I only like Raven and perhaps Grace for Drowning ones, so it's not like I was expecting something wonderful. As long as the music is good, I'm fine.

Sincerely hope that is not the cover art. It's horrible.

HCE has an incredible cover, imo. It's a perfect representation of the concept.

I do agree it's terrible cover art.

My favorite I think would be Ravens.

I haven't liked any of his covers except for Insurgentes and Grace, but this new one doesn't feel worse than Raven or HCE imo.

The art for HCE is stunning and I love it. GFD is pretty good too. The others are just ok for me. New one is whack

Until it's confirmed I'm just going to hope that that isn't the official cover art.

I really love both the art for HCE (even got the shirt) and Raven :azn:

Listening.




It's... interesting.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Album cover looks like a mix between Peter Gabriel's So with the colors of Us. If that's the vibe he's going for, makes sense.

No, MetalWani, Steven Wilson hasn't said a thing about it through his official channels yet. Progrock .co .uk jumped the gun and leaked the info early.

Holy shit, that announcement on Facebook! That's how you do it :)
I'm at work, so I can't listen to the song right now (maybe I can sneak away in a bit).

I want to pre-order the LP, because I'm sure this is going to be good.

Does anyone know who's playing on the album? I kind of want to know this as well, before ordering it. I'd say Nick Beggs and Adam Holzman are a given. I'm pretty sure Guthrie isn't on there ( :( ), so my first guess is Dave Kilminster on guitars. But who's drumming? Marco Minnemann is available as far as I know, but the last tours we had Craig Blundell.

I'm loving the new song!  :omg: Ninet's vocals are really great, I also love the post-rock feel of the bridge,

He just officially anounced the album, and it's indeed the official album cover that was posted on the previous page  :P

For the amount of praise Wilson gets, his music does little to nothing for me. This new song didn't change that.

Looks like the confirmed musicians so far include

Nick Beggs
Adam Holzman
Ninet Tayeb
Craig Blundell
David Kollar (guitar on 3 songs)
Mark Feltham (harmonica)
Andy Partridge (co-writer on 2 songs)

The Wikipedia article on SW also claims that some of the drums were played by Jeremy Stacey, but I don't know if there's any real confirmation on that besides the fact that his brother Paul Stacey was the recording engineer.

Wrong, sir! Wrong! Piano Lessons. Pure Narcotic. The Sound of Muzak. Halo. Basically the vast majority of his shorter songs. SW does pop very very brilliantly indeed.

I love the idea that it's influenced by the artier/proggier end of 80s pop, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears etc.

I'm glad he's left the High Flying Birds. I hate his drumming and i'm really happy that Chris Sharrock from oasis is now Noel Gallagher's drummer.

Song was pretty good!  I remember feeling on the fence about the first song released from HCE, but loved it in the context of the album.  I'm sure this will be the same.

Well, I caved and got the box set, $97 after shipping to California. Didn't get the deluxe box for HCE so I didn't want to miss out on this one. Loved the new track, so even though I'm bummed it won't be as proggy of an album, I expect it to be incredible  :tup

Checking out Ninet's latest album now, and it's seriously cool stuff. It's adventurous and it rocks, solid tunes.
