The latest installment in the musical array of Steven Wilson's merry men.
I have lived with this album since it's release early on in the year and find that I am warming to it more now.
When I originally spun the disc, I listened to it a handful of times and was quite bewildered as It was to my mind not very good. I was bewildered as I wanted to really like it a lot especially as I have been a fan for quite a long time.
Initially I liked the tracks "Deadwing", "Shallow", "Halo" and "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" and thought that the rest of the tracks were poor. But since then I have grown to like "Start Of Something Beautiful" and dismissed the title track as being overtly long and not really going anywhere. The B side tracks on the "Lazarous" single should have been added to the cd version of the album to give a more balanced view (running time being the shortest since their second album from the early nineties.
I have played the 2002 release "In Absentia" and apart from a couple of so-so tracks, it Walks over "Deadwing" by miles.
