Wilson. Steven - 4 ½ (2016)

The fifth album from this artist from Great Britain.

Steven Wilson did percussion, bass, guitars, piano, moog, mellotron, synths and vocals here.

He got help from some guests who added drums, bass, guitars, chapmann stick, minimoog, organ, piano, flute, saxophone and female vocals.

This album was a stop-gap album between the Hand Cannot Erase and To The Bone albums. It has some bits and pieces from other albums and gigs re-recorded again in the studio. This album is still regarded as a fully worthy Steven Wilson studio album, though.

And rightfully so in my opinion. Hence my review of this album. 

The music is very elegant and well crafted art-rock with a lot of Porcupine Tree influences..... Porcupine Tree being his previous band.

The sound is excellent and ditto for the vocals.

The quality of the songs are very good and this rather short album, clocking in at thirty-seven minutes, is a joy to listen to. 

Check it out.
