Half-Speed Mastered 180g Vinyl LP!
Steven Wilson releases his eighth studio album, The Overview, on Fiction Records. 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… it promises to be an utterly unique release in 2025.
The Overview is a loopy conceptual masterpiece. It ponders the infinitesimally tiny place of humans in the endless space of the universe. There's a lot going on here in composition, performance, and production, but it's always focused, never excessive, and always accessible; in some places, it actually approaches the profound.
