![]() Grace for Drowning (2011) [ larger cover art ] |
I think it's time that I got off the kitchen floor
But is there really any point at all?
Waking up this morning felt the same
Better sleep while life is so mundane
It could have been yesterday that I locked the door
I blocked the windows up so I can't be sure
Now I haven't even got the will to eat
I'm lame and self-obsessed, that I will concede
I'd like to light a cigarette but I cannot
The lighter's dead and the gas has been cut off
I'm the one you always seem to read about
The fire inside my eyes has long gone out
There's nothing left for me to say or do
'Cause all that matters disappeared when I lost you...

I'd second that, and I consider myself to be quite a PT fan. Going by the solo work played on RP, it's nice enough and certainly interesting, lyrically, but it's relatively thin fare compared to the chunkier sound. He is a cracking songwriter but needs that bit of oomph and variation behind him, I think. |

He's stretching himself too thin with PT, Blackfield and his own solo stuff. This track is ok and Index is ok, the rest is mediocre at best. SW (& PT) have been on a downward slide since Fear of a Blank Planet (with the sole exception of Insergentes). I doubt we'll ever see something as good as In Absentia or Deadwing ever again. Deform to Form a Star, The Dust I have Cleared From My Eyes, Remainder The Black Dog just for starters are all amazing songs.... This album is great and the live show was unreal. Hardly mediocre... |

| Relayer (Gainesville, FL) | Posted: Nov 16, 2011 - 14:20 This album is just awesome, and I was lucky enough to see his Orlando show last week. Amazing show (to no one's surprise). As for as the comments that Steve Wilson's music has suffered some lately; I disagree. PT's music gets better and better with each release - although The Incident should have just been a single album, not double album, a few songs could have been cut for a separate EP. His solo work is great all around. |
| hbs47 (SE England) | Posted: Nov 02, 2011 - 03:38 From what I have heard this album is only OK. As pointed out earlier , maybe he has too many irons in the fire. A couple of people I know have just seen him in concert and have raved about it. Maybe a grower, I'll probably end up buying it. |

| finoufk (Bordeaux - france) | Posted: Sep 28, 2011 - 08:31 It sounds a bit like some porcupine tree...love it ! |
