I am also not a big jazz fan - the only song I have "loved" in the list above is the title track.

Great album, but since I don't like jazz, I can't listen to those jazzy flute/sax/piano parts. I usually listen only Drive Home and title track (those are amazing). Of course there are great parts in Luminol, Holy Drinker or Watchmaker... Same problem I have with Grace For Drowning.

I love this album and respect Steven Wilson as a musician, but this is literally the only I could get into by him, >.< . I don't know if it's just because of the extra appeal to me through to the supernatural concept of it or what, but his other stuff hasn't really clicked with me.

My favorite Steven Wilson album, by a pretty long shot. Never get tired of it. I don't get the hate...

Well, not my favorite anymore, but I'm still not tired of it. The Pin Drop is the only forgettable song.

First I skipped this album, and enjoyed both album and concert on the previous and following release. But finally I got this one, and I think I can safely say it's the best and most complete album I have enjoyed by any artist! Although Hands maybe have a couple of even stronger tracks and solos from Guthrie, it's the whole of this album that gets to me. Just amazing, but it takes its time to digest. But damn, this is just so amazing! Holy Drinker is incredible

So, what has Mr. Wilson done? A simple thing - he has connected the jazz-ish, mellotron-ish, sometimes technically-oriented oldschoolprog core with atmospheric features of what we call post-progressive music. As a result, we have a completed, absolutely mature piece of art that ... involves until you become part of it. magic. What I especially like about it - - - it lacks that... instrumental confusion, which was IMO, a major minus of ultra-pretensious GFD. And, also - it"s a monolith work, no more dividing. The album starts in an Old Prog way and finishes as a very emotional sample of Post Prog. A cornerstone of the new-coming genre. Unique.

v Yikes. Was there really any track off of TRARTS that you actually liked? I'm not being rude or such, I'm just wondering.

v I think people love this album because, for some people, it's a pretty experimental and complex album. I think it's also because it's straight forward than it was with Grace for Drowning, which while I loved it, was pretty long. I mean think about it: This album only has six songs and gets all the instrumentation straightforward and quick with it. Grace for Drowning had two discs to go through that, and let's not even get with the additional disc with the demos. But again, this is just my theory.

I've never understood why this album is heralded as a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong 'drive home', 'pin drop', and 'the raven' are outstanding tracks but the remaining tracks are just 'Wilson doing prog ripp-offs'. I like how Wilson never makes the same record twice- he always progresses (in the true sense of the word)- but too much 'retro' for me. <Maybe i will understand this album one day.

I thought this album was kind of so-and-so when it was first released. Now I think it's probably one of Steven's best works. Pin Drop is just amazing.

There's not a single flaw in this album, yet I still find it tame and unexciting. Maybe that's the flaw.

His best solo effort to date, perhaps by far. The diversity here is really impressive, yet so wonderfully harkens to so many different PT sounds from years past.
