It melds Porcupine Tree's prog with much more accessibility without losing the passion. Lyrically it is easily their best album. The album flows perfectly and is the perfect length. I don't see how anyone can hate it. Also, Porcupine Tree does not recycle. They just don't try to completely change themselves every album. He isn't trying to be a creative genius. Wilson wants to keep the music as accessible as the Beatles, which is perfectly fine with me. I am not always in the mood for something that tries too hard to be original aka. what many prog bands do and succeed at. Personally, I thought Steven Wilson's solo album was the most original and the best of any of the Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson projects.
