    A really particular album from Steven Wilson. An insual techno/pop trying that cut off from his works. It's not my cup of tea but he explores new soundscapes, that's why we like it.
    Good pressing, nice take of sound.

      They say this is his worst album. I love it!!!! The album is very crafted. The songs are catchy. They are innovative. The beats are good. Really enjoying this.

        Needs a few listen to really get into, but I really like this (now). Think you need to be in mood to fully enjoy. QA wise nothing of note to complain about, vinyl great and surprisingly heavy.

          Absurdly low rating. Whole pack is excellent, pleasant to have it in collection. Mastering is crystal clear and detailed. Yeah, there’s some hiss, but nothing critical. Recommend to have it in your SW albums collection and buy and buy until it makes you sick, of course 😉

            Haters gonna hate, but this is a brilliant album. Also sounds fantastic and the whole package and concept are first rate.

              A very decent album considering what Wilson has done so far with PT, SW, all side projects. Also, don't forget which influences he mentions in his interviews over the years.
              Alas if artists created works to flatter their audience.
              Enjoy guilt-free!!!

                You could tell all of 2020 with Wilson denouncing guitars and mocking his loyal fans there was going to be trouble and here we have it. His demise in the form of a really poor record. I have no problem with electronica and ambient but its got to be tasteful. Its got to be good. This is neither. Ironically it sounds the cheesiest and most dated of anything he has ever done! Furthermore the sell out is real... 20 different editions of this album upon release? Shady. I just hope he continues to remix the classics because thats easily all he does good now.

                  Don't let the prog rock fan boys turn you off of this record. Both the music and overall package is top notch. A brilliant record through and through.

                    This is a very high quality pressing in every way.

                    The sound is incredible!
