I got the Anesthetize blu-ray. They would be so good if Steven Wilson's terrible lyrics didn't ruin everything.

Me too man. One of my favorite drummers of all time. He's incredible on the new blu-ray.

I know what you mean...I could watch Gavin Harrison drum for hours, though. That guy is fantastic.

Hahaha. It is a very Tool-ish video but I like it. I'd rather see this than the band actually playing most of the time.

This is the second time he has used Pink Floyd as a basis (Voyage 34). I think most people here understand the idea behind it.

I hate how people think Wilson rips off Floyd. It was pretty easy to tell it was deliberate. He's always been a humble and honest musician that even admits that his music easily expresses his influences. It happens for EVERY MUSICIAN EVER, but most of them are just stuck up pricks and think whatever they've written is brand spanking new. Nope. If you're a musician, whatever you're writing most likely reminds you of something that you listen to that you love. Admit it.

And people call Steven Wilson pretentious. Ignorant pricks.

re: Pink Floyd's Animals and "Time Flies":

Talking about Time Flies, it's quite different from the rest of the songs. Was it composed together with the other songs ?

It was, it was composed with the rest of the songs. The whole album, the whole piece was composed in the sequence you're hearing. So Time Flies was composed immediately after Yellow Windows of the Evening Train, immediately before the next piece. The reason Time Flies is different is because it's supposed to be about me, my childhood, what formed me and also what formed me as a musician. The musical reference in it relate more to the music I grew up with. So you hear a very deliberate reference to Pink Floyd for example. The first album I ever bought was Animals. There's a riff in there that's very similar, just different enough to not get sued. There are also musical clues as well as lyrical clues to me growing up and to what created me as a musician, what created me as a person. That's one of the reasons why musically it does take you into a different area perhaps to some of the rest of the record.

Some parts of the album remind me a bit of Neurosis, but in a good way.

Gonna take a few listens to digest the new album, but I like it so far. Not as much as older material like Stupid Dream or Lightbulb Sun. Didn't know the packaging was this big for the LE though. Now I just need a working 5.1 system to really listen to this on!
