I love the 2000 seat arenas.  Sonically, they are always great for music.

how can anyone not like the monologue? her voice is amazing, she doesn't say anything cringey, the music is interesting and a different direction for SW — i really don't understand what isn't likable about this song.

maybe i just have a thing for Max Richter-style ambient/narrative stuff.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Actually, as great as Steven's melody lines are, I think the narration is my favorite part of the song, it's just beautiful.

Still have an extra ticket for Philly. If no one wants it I'll go to StubHub with it, but figured I'd make one last pitch here first.

We've got him at the Wiltern.  I haven't a clue on the acoustics there seeing as the only show I've seen there has been Cycle of Pain / Dope / SevenDust / Black Label Society.

That shit was loud.

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 think I'm at a point where I'm not going to listen to another second of new material until I can hear it all together, as I'm sure it was meant to be experienced.



Again, so fucking stoked for this album.

Yeah, I'm not listening til I get the album.

Same here. Although it gives me some kind of Blade Runner / noir feeling instead of the brightness that the video portrays. And indeed, her voice is great even when just talking. I just love that deep and sexy voice. If only more women spoke like that.

The combination of that drum beat and the main line SW sings is very hypnotic.  It's already stuck in my head after only two listens. :tup :tup

Narration just seems like the easy way to go. "How do I tell this story through music? Too much work to turn it into actual lyrics... Narration!" Probably not how it went down, just how it feels to me.

I saw King Crimson at the Wiltern and don't remember there being any problem with the sound... But it was over 20 years ago (shit time flies) so don't hold me to it :-).

I haven't listened to either song yet, I just preordered the CD+DVD version in Burning Shed and I'll listen to it in full when it arrives (hopefully it won't be too long after the release date).

I think Perfect Life will be AMAZING in context of the album. Strange as a single on its own. But following HCE and coming before one of the epics "Routine," it seems like it'll be super cool to listen to in the album.

Doing my best to stay away from the new songs. Listening to new songs individually before I check it out as a whole as always REALLY hurt my enjoyment of an album.

While I listened to the full song, I will not listen to those 30-seconds snippets. I have found over the years that whoever chooses those snippets are absolute morons.

And again you are right for at least 5 of the snippets. :lol

First Regret/3 Years Older is streaming here starting at the 2:40 mark:
https://dprpradio.podbean.com/e/show-132-featuring-steven-wilson-handcannoterase/

Edit: I wasn't too crazy about the title track or Perfect Life but 3 Years Older definitely got me excited again for the album. Amazing track.

Ok I took the title track as a single, Perfect life as a kind of trailer, but I don't wanna listen to 3 years older. At least until the leak.
