Apparently the drums on the track are performed by Jeremy Stacey.

Ouch, those vocals are quite bad.

My first reaction as well... decent song other than that though.

I've seen the reaction from several people now, including my wife who is a huge fan when I showed her the song.

Ugh, the rest of the song is fine. But that falsetto is really *that* bad.

Not. A. Fan.

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

I don't mind the vocals that much. It'll probably take some getting used to though. The rest of the song is quite good though. I love the rock feel he has going on here.

Love the new song in its entirety. Much better than the (now) by-the-book Pariah.

Really enjoy both tracks so far. I have no problem with the vocals in the new one.

I like both new songs quite a bit, especially Pariah (though I wish Ninet was a bit more to the front in the mix?). I can hear what people mean by "bad" vocals in the newest one, but while he won't win any prices for "best falsetto", I think it sounds fine. The falsetto parts do not detract from the song for me personally, and I think the vocal melodies themselves are pretty catchy.

He also premiered the music video for it:
https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7825580/exclusive-steven-wilson-song-of-i

The song is kinda cool, I do not like instantly like it as much as the previous two singles. I think there's quite some difference in emotion Steven and Sophie Hunger put into their voices while singing at the same time which sounds kinda odd. I do get Massive Attack vibes from the song which is pretty nice.

Also what's with that bright red background in some parts of the video-clip, I feel it really doesn't fit  :P

On first listen I don't like Song of I as much as the others either, but it feels like it could grow on me, and I stil liked it.

Generally, I'm getting Insurgentes vibes from the songs I've heard so far. Minus the extreme distortion, obviously.

This song is fine, but I don't like it as much as the others. Clip does look interesting, SW has a knack for finding artists that produce striking visuals (shame of the generic cover of To The Bone, however).

I like all three tracks a lot but Song of I is my favorite so far! Amazing track and video. I was hoping to hear a return to an Insurgentes type of sound, and this song has it in spaces. The middle orchestral section is excellent! My only gripe is that the song afterwards just seems to paddle along without much of a satisfying conclusion.

Interesting song.  That one might take a few more listens and be heard within the context of the record to really grab me.

I'm very impressed by this one. Interesting how well the Steven's vocals fit with that kind of sound. Smart move with the stylistic change.

I've been listening to it as much as I can today. Holy shit. Monumental. I like this so much. SW electronica and orchestral. It's glorious.

Every song I've listened in bits.  I want it to be fresh when I get it in few months.

The new song is interesting, but so far the only song I really enjoy from start to finish is Pariah. I have faith in Steven that this album will be great though and the others will grow on me with time. It is going to be tough to get past that falsetto though, as Skeever implied.

Eh, the falsetto is fine, relative to his normal singing.  SW is never gonna win any awards for vocals anyway. 

Also, it is my imagination, or does he rarely use vocal effects anymore?  He used them quite a bit back in the late 90s-early mid 00s, but he seems to rarely use them anymore.

Really? The sound of him harmonizing with himself is one of the most beautiful things in music. See the choir section of The Watchmaker, and plenty of Porcupine Tree songs.

A lot of people I know are not a fan of his voice. It's not a typical singer's voice but that's exactly what I like about it. Somehow I always believe everything he sings, and that's most important to me.

I am going to not listen to any of the songs until the cd comes out.  It has been a while since I did this for an upcoming album by any artist.

Haven't really listened to Wilson's solo stuff much, but those two songs from his new album are really solid!

Song of I, reminds me of David Bowie's more experimental stuff somehow.

And his singing sounds fine!

Man, I cannot wait for this album! I've really fallen in love with The Same Asylum As Before now. He can write such memorable melodies, which is what he is letting be the dominant force here, rather than complexity. Of course, the great hummable tunes have always been there, but now they're set to be to the fore.

I heard it once before and thought it was just ok. Today I relistened it and now I can't get the chorus out of my head, it is really catchy. Even those controversial verses have grown on me.
Pariah is still my favorite out of the 3. Song of I lacks some feelings imo, for being SW song, but it's still good. Also can't wait for the album to come out.
