Wilson. Steven - The Raven That Refused to Sing (2013)

The third album from this artist from Great Britain.

Steven Wilson did the bass, guitars, mellotron, keyboards and vocals on this album.

He got help from some guests who added percussion, drums, bass, chapman stick, guitars, strings, piano, mini-moog, organ, synths, woodwinds and vocals.

Steven Wilson returned after the successful Grace For Drowning album. An album voted as the best album by some magazines that year. 

Art-rock and psych-rock is again the musical expression. Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree looms large on the list of influences.

The songs almost got a hymn feel with a lot of space and oxygene given to each instrument and indeed.... tone.

The music is elegant and the vocals is very good. The music is indeed classy and has some really cool details.

The result is a very good album from this maestro of modern progressive rock. It is an album well worth purchasing for everyone into progressive rock.

3.5 points
