Deadwing started out as my favorite. Now it's hard to pick between this, In Absentia and Signify. Oh hell, they're all good. And just when I think I've reached my PT quota, a different song comes on that I don't have yet; so naturally I have to buy that album as well. Do you think I need some sort of 12 step program or something? |

I'm a massive PT and Steve Wilson fan (thanks again RP for exposing me to them), but this IMO is one of our Steve's weaker numbers. Technically tricksy backbeat I'm sure, but the song itself fails to grab and sounds a bit limp. 5 from the Nottingham jury, a good 3 below the usual minimum for PT tracks.

"The lift can be painfully slow"
Much like a PT song... particularly this one.
I just don't get this band.

Agree, even though this isn't one of their better tunes.

Between Heartattack in a Lay By a few days ago and this one, I'm finding PT to be absolutely lovely. Quite pleased.

First time hearing this, and must agree with this comment from three years ago. Although when it first started with just the drums/cymbals, I thought it was "Live Forever" by Oasis. |

This album spent a lot of time in my car as the only CD present (sorry, I have a six pack cd). I got to know it very well and this track, while not as hard rocking as some of the others, really does transport you to another space and time.
And it's the last track on the album. So Steve has the ability to bring the listener back down to a somber level, reflective, introspective.

Geecheeboy, Yes I see err hear your point. LOL!
With some 'better production values', Mitch Been could be a big star.

And I like it.

robco1 and westslope- it's so wierd but Genesis was also my favorite band back in the 70s. Everything between Trespass and Wind and Wuthering I just adore  Moreso than Yes, Rush, or even Floyd. Maybe it's the amazing melodies that we love in PT. |

Yes and early Genesis were always my prog favourites. Early Genesis was less showy and overdone than Yes with broader audience appeal.
I hear bits of both in PT and am of the opinion that PT is better than both.
So there. LOL!
This song is a great end to a fabulous CD--Stupid Dream. Enjoy!

PT is definitely a cut above the former, and a shade below the latter -
Right on with the Genesis comment, though mid-70s was at least better than 80s Genesis (i.e. the Phil Collins pop hour).
Back then Pete and co. were breaking a lot of new ground, and Steven Wilson is clearly a fan who has taken that influence and built on it. I'd say PT is as good as '69-'74 Genesis, and this coming from a guy whose nickname in high school was Genesis!
It is all great stuff! |
