[@oregonwoodelf]

This is one of the greatest albums of all time. Every moment of every song is just🤌

[@socialbox8092]

This album was and always will be a masterpiece. Perfection.

[@Rowenband]

Aahhh… Luminol. One of my all-time favorite tunes. What a bassline !

[@robertsonwilliams8650]

What a fabulous album ,the guitar solo on drive home ,phenomenal..

[@markdrechsler5660]

I played this a ton when it came out. Excellent from beginning to end.

[@PAC-fp9hy]

More vinyl gives more dynamic range and reduces crosstalk on the sidewall of the groove. Watch a video on how they cut the master disk and you will see.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

FLARF!!!

[@ShiivaWilding]

They recorded the album live with Parsons as engineer and co-producer, that's why it sounds as good as it does!

[@rudolfbecker4313]

This is my favourite Steven Wilson album 🤘

[@jimled50jl49]

Hey Rudi ...Just listened to Part 2 first. [ No idea why ? Lol ] I left you a longer reply....so gonna listen to this now. Great album I have myself. Take care, Jim 😀👍

[@ironpingu6306]

Stunning album, elite musicianship throughout, imo one of his very best in his career.

[@rasix86]

Oh wow.. I am really surprised you never listened to this. man.. what an album

[@jimled50jl49]

This is a brilliant album. This track has a "Yes" feel to it but from the album "Drama" only in parts. Steven Wilson' solo albums are exceptional. I not long watch this track done live ... At the Royal Albert Hall. ... No I wasn't there [ I wish ! ] I got the dvd / 2 cd's > "Home Invasion" and this was the finale' track. Amazing concert !! Great video ...still listening. Thankyou ! Jim [ Great name eh ? ]

[@kenl2091]

...and to think that Jim once said that Nick Beggs' best work was on 'Too Shy'. (Might have made that up) This, for me, is comfortably Steven Wilson at his peak.

[@jpwwilson430]

Stunning album from start to finish 👏... Faultless songwriting with top-class musicians.

[@TheAlbumReviewGuy]

Now we’re talking Jim

[@TheAsphyx666]

SW is a genius.

[@derekd.4156]

I remember Marco minnemen tried out to be dream theaters next drummer when Portnoy left the band. I believe he was their second choice (they have the tryouts available to watch on KZbin). Thankfully he didn’t get the gig and we got raven and HCE with him drumming

[@MrBlond777]

Thanks for your great reaction Jim! This album is 🔥

[@threestringsomg]

Just the opening track is part Jethro Tull, part Anekdoten, part King Crimson (both 70s moog/melatron and 80s base Crimson), part Nektar, then part Stevie Wonder (the jazzy riffing) then part Caravan, part Gentle Giant....then into some amazing Floyd chill intro........still got the rest of the album to go Steve!🥸🤯 Yeah this album has stayed in my top ever for a few years now. Beautuful.❤

[@worldnotworld]

Sounds very Drama-era Yes; in fact a little bit of every prog band I can think of makes an appearance.

[@DiegoDeschain]

One of the most outstanding albums of all time. Absolutely insane. PS: looking forward to your reaction to DT's new song :) Cheers

[@charlesbritzman501]

Good album to put on, crank up then go do the dishes.

[@PaulPhilp-pe5oe]

Steven Wilson was remixing a bunch of King Crimson albums during the whole creation process of TRWRTS. It really shows. Especially on Luminol. This is a top 10 album of the century so far.

[@patrickpeeters2637]

Best SW album, on par with the greatest prog ever...

[@scifimonkey3]

Looking forward to your take on this!

[@sidecardog5244]

Desert island record. Maybe best album of the 21st century.

[@paulcollins5586]

No way.

[@shroom2ma]

If I could take only 10 records, at least 2 of them would be S.W. related. This one isn't one of them but I'm enjoying it anew here and now! The more I listen to his solo albums the more I think I let them pass me by too quickly at the time

[@scifimonkey3]

Would be in my top 20 but ‘Hand cannot erase’ would be in my top 5 hopefully that will be on Jims ‘to do’ list.

[@nectarinedreams7208]

@@scifimonkey3 Jim already did Hand Cannot Erase. It's one of his favourite albums of all time.

[@groovedohg]

​@@nectarinedreams7208 Yeah. The story behind it is very special. You HAVE to watch the documentary of it

[@HCXWinchester]

Luminol is such a vibe man

[@HCXWinchester]

And yes so much King Crimson and dare I say Camel in this song, I love it.

[@icecreamgenius557]

Yes, Anekdoten! I hope you react to some of their work one day. The entire Anekdoten catalogue is great.

[@DriverXL]

Listen to the live recording of luminol, I think its even beter.

[@shroom2ma]

Am I the only one who thinks the record kicks off sounding like Roderick's Testicles (when they were still a band)? Those guitar chords sound like something off Strangeitude to me, before it goes all Jazz-prog and King Crimson (which I also like!). I wonder if there's such a thing as Steve Wilson chord or chord progression? I could get halfway through an S.W. instrumental not knowing who it is, but then there's a chord shift or key change or...something, that klicks the Steve Wilson button in my head. I can never quite figure out what it is!

[@97unicycleman]

Love your videos! Keep them up! PS: do you know Pitfalls by Leprous? Amazing album!

[@dpmccutcheon]

Many of the Aristocrats artist.

[@adamborowa697]

Right?!? 😁😁😁

[@marcelseger007]

Helemaal wat anders ben na concert van fish geweest in Utrecht was geweldig tijd niks van je gehoord van taste muziek luisteren graag na je alleen heb je niet het alle beste geluid op KZbin

[@pwhitz]

Unfortunately I can’t separate the art from the artist in light of what is happening in Gaza & Lebanon and knowing Steven Wilson is a massive zi0nist

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Meep meep!

[@luton_gmanrock]

Don't want to rain on this 'Steven Wilson Fan Club Parade' but not my 'cuppa-char' one bit. Stick with Gentle Giant, Nektar, Gnidrolog, Druid, Khan and Galaxy-Lin for some real prog sounds instead of this over-studio drenched pretentious festival. 😊Enjoy if you enjoy though, just my opinion music fans....😉

[@scifimonkey3]

Admit it, Yes you do, or you wouldn’t bother commenting- someone has to fill the minority slot! As for the comment about ‘studio drenched’ I can assure you it sounds just as rich and polished LIVE because the musicians are THAT good.

[@Childofbhaal]

The only thing pretentious is you. “Real prog sounds” lol

[@worldnotworld]

Sounds very Drama-era Yes; in fact a little bit of every prog band I can think of makes an appearance.
