Here we go . . .
Oh come on...Simple question. Here we go what? Please explain.

Maybe the list I just looked at is incomplete. What is your malfunction?
Pretty sure everything is functioning just fine, thank you very much. Watsy_73, maybe if Himey and Strilo remain confused you could throw them a bone...
I can't wait!
Just guessing, but I think this was a dig at Wilson’s most recent, relatively pop-influenced album.
Sorry for the confusion. I guess I should have quoted your post and the post before yours to make it clear I was referring to the all-too-familiar (to me, at least) discussion about the direction of Wilson's music. A popcorn emoji would have helped too, I suppose.Simple question. Here we go what? Please explain.
You have a lot of catching up to do, if you feel inclined to do so. You would probably get a dozen recommendations on which one to try first, but I would suggest looking at the polls and pick one or two of the highest rated. Although he has a few other projects, I would lump anything from "Porcupine Tree" in as a legacy pick.See I know zero about his music. Only his surround mixes of other artists' work.
So... Fear Inoculum has arrived. I've been underwhelmed. How about y'all?
The album cover isn't as interesting, distinctive, or arresting as those of previous releases, which I think is a shame. The embedded A/V display certainly does up the packaging ante from the previous two albums, which were already fairly intricate and impressive themselves. The art video itself is well done, and the ambient soundtrack serves it just fine. The case form factor is slightly awkward, but at least it fits my CD shelf.No way.

As for the music... Eh. I did listen to the "full" 24/96 download from Qobuz. It has its moments, but there's little in the way of new ground trodden. Maynard's vocals are mostly subdued and he only really comes out of his shell on the closer, "7empest," which I think is the standout track overall despite dragging on a bit without creating additional interest. Also of note is "Culling Voices," which contrasts the most to their back catalogue.
Overall, not a bad album, but I agree with Fantano that it's probably their worst. It absolutely does not live up to the impossible hype set up by the 13-year gap.
