Steven Wilson – The Overview – CD

Steven Wilson releases his eighth studio album, ‘The Overview’. Two tracks, 42 minutes, wildly ambitious and brilliantly audacious in equal measure, the album features endlessly engaging conceptual lyrics that move seamlessly between the cosmic and the quotidian, set to genre-defying, ultra melodic music. ‘The Overview’ is accompanied by an album length animated film made by regular Steven Wilson collaborator Miles Skarin (Crystal Spotlight). The album sees Steven return to the genre that made him famous – progressive rock – although his 21st century version hugely updates the classic musical palette to incorporate everything from glistening electronics to monumental post rock, a feat that brings it right into the beating heart of the 21st century.
