Steven Wilson
To The Bone

Although it is quite different from typical or old Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson style, this album is still fascinating and creative as well.

Naturally, there is a certain, rather high established level of quality, below which Stephen is not able to jump - for now, at least. Unquestioningly, Ninet Tayeb is a great vocalist and embodied femininity, and I am glad, infinitely glad to hear her voice in most new compositions. Well, "Refuge" and "Detonation" are undoubted replenishment in the treasury of the best works of the Englishman, who managed to fit in himself, it seems, all the genre diversity that he had ever involved in the portfolio. But, alas, the impression is that at least under the sign with his name, Wilson has already expressed to us all the most intimate and interesting; and then what happens on his disks will become more and more secondary and boring, does not leave me.
