Topic: Album review #12: Steven Wilson, Hand Cannot Erase

+Anonymous A11 years ago #42,753

The big one. Album of the year so far, and almost certainly not to be bettered. This has already entered classic status among the prog community, and won a ton of awards, even though it was released only a few months ago.

It didn't seem possible that Wilson could follow up 2013's exceptional 'The Raven That Refused To Sing' album with a work of similar quality, but not only has he done that, he's bettered it.

This is a concept album, based on the remarkable true story of Joyce Carol Vincent (you can wiki her), a woman living in a big city who died in her apartment and nobody noticed for 3 years, despite the fact she had friends and family.

Lyrically, the album is a stunning meditation on the alienation of modern life. Musically, it is breath-taking. A masterpiece.

10/10


p.s for those unfamiliar with Wilson's solo work, a good starting point would be the track 'The Raven That Refused To Sing'.
