Hellooo, the 2nd half of Harmony Codex is so cool ??

I didn't really have high expectations for this album cause I wasn't amazed by the singles - they were okay but they kinda sounded like some random songs put together; different style, different mood; not like something forming a consistent album. BUT I was blown away by the send half!! I LOVE everything starting from Beautiful Scarecrow. Beautiful Scarecrow kinda sounds like something from Insurgents or Grace For Drowning; The Harmony Codex track is like a Perfect Live v2 to me which is soooo cool. I also got some Deadwing vibes from Actual Brutal Facts. And I totally lost my shit when I heard repeated lyrics from Harmony Codex in Staircase. I love when I can hear other songs and bits from the rest of the album in a song. And tbh that 2nd part works so well together, I love its mood and it feels like a whole.

Yeah that's it from me. I'm curious what others think!!

Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex (long take)

[sirtarquinunderspoon]

ROCK BOTTOM

- I really really like this one

- it’s the better improved sequel to pariah

- from what i understand ninet wrote this one? I don’t know to what extent steven had with the creation but she did a fantastic job

- if anything it should be credited as ninet tayeb and steven wilson

- I’ve seen comments saying this sounds like something that would come off ultraviolence and i haven’t listened to enough lana del ray to confirm or deny

- the video is also way better than pariahs

- the harmonising on the “break apart” section is just hnnnhgnbghggg that’s the good shit

the last time i really liked a solo steven wilson track was song of i from to the bone, so to get something that’s not on the better side of mid im very happy

Steven Wilson is the testament that it's still possible to make music with modern production techniques that sounds interesting and new and prog, and I hate how he he was discouraged by the boring ass un-proggy "prog" fandom to go back to more 70s vibed "prog" rock.

I liked the new album, but it was such an obvious response to this debacle (I mean it consists of two 18-21 minutes song and was clearly inspired by Yes and Pink Floyd!) and I don't like it when artists compromise their vision because of fan or journalist response...
