I'm a bit hopeful. I have a rather patchy selection of Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson tracks. I'm hoping to be able to add a couple more to those.

I didn't particularly enjoy the new song, but I'm willing to give the new album a listen.

Listening to "Of The New Day" - I think I like it somewhat better than "Harridan" but it reminds me why I've never really been a PT/SW fan. There's just something about his voice I don't like.

[Deklerium]

I've enjoyed all tracks released so far. But the latest one, 'Rats Return' is the best in my opinion. Can't wait to see them in November (even though its at Wembley)

I was never a big PT fan. I did like some songs, but I prefer Wilson’s solo albums, even if I was very disappointed by The Future Bites. I will listen to the new album for sure. After 12 years, this is an event.

In a national Dutch newspaper the new album got five stars (out of five).

It's on my shopping list for payday next week, along with Peter Jackson's Get Back BluRay.

For those who might be interested there is an MP3 or FLAC download of all the tracks including the 3 bonus, the instrumental mixes and artwork for the bargain price of £4.99 for a limited period -

I was kinda ambivalent about the album, the singles were good, but didn't really catch me. But now I've listened to the album a couple of times and on every listen I love it more and more.

Thanks very much for posting this link. I bought it. I doubt I'd have gone for it at the price I've seen it for elsewhere, though I may well have downloaded a few tracks.

So far I am enjoying it - mostly for the effect of the harmonies and the general Porcupine Tree sound. It will take me a bit longer to absorb the album, but I'm confident I will end up liking a lot of it. (I have yet to listen to the instrumental versions. That will happen once I am more familiar with the original songs.)

So thanks again for the link! It has made me happy.

I like their early stuff much better. Once they started to get heavy , I think they became more one dimensional. I also am not convinced by Wilson as a singer nor as a guitar player - as regards the latter , he just seems to strum. If you compare him to the deftness of Howe for example ……

[Yesed]

Definitely looking forward to this album. After hearing this first release, I think its going to be really good. Held my attention straight through on the first listen, whether that's good or bad . Wilson's expected great production doesnt hurt. Im a big fan of his first album, and most PT albums, so Im not hard to please regarding the band.

[Spiritual Architect]

I consider ALL the Porcupine Tree albums to be better than anything Yes has made since The Ladder.
