Free Music Notes for On the Sunday of Life (Dig)
Free Music Review: If you REALLY like PT, you love this album.
Hit: 5 Stars
Okay. So it has no moments of fully plugged in neoprog metal. So it has some of the most whacked-out lyrics in the history of music. So listening to it is pretty akin to witnessing a supertalented musical genius lose his mind and feel absolutely no shame for it. Back in 1991, when this CD first came out, Steven Wilson was a much more adventurous guy. His careless creative abandon allowed him to completely invalidate the opinions of others, and thus he's as free as can be throughout the duration of these 18 tracks. In this way, this is probably the finest album he's ever released under the Porcupine Tree name, and I'm not saying this just to earn brownie points as a "true fan." I'm saying it because if you don't like OTSOL, you really don't know that much about this band (i.e., you only have Deadwing and maybe IA), and you definitely don't appreciate the intricacies of SW's talents.
Just look at the personas he delves into in the course of only about 75 minutes. He ranges from a cheeky Herman's Hermits-type '60s-psych-rock cheeseball in "Jupiter (NOT JUNIPER) Island" to a disenchanted commentator on Cold War politics in "Radioactive Toy." He even tries his super-evil alien shoes on with the hilarious "Space Transmission." The music is equally varied. "Linton Samuel Dawson" is Rush being maliciously raped by a drum machine, which of course makes it amazing. "And The Swallows Dance Around The Sun" is a beguiling, hypnotic little trancey number, pretty characteristic of PT's early days. "Nine Cats" is absolutely gorgeous, echoey and charming. And the epic closer "It Will Rain For A Million Years," which is about as prog as you can possibly get without actually being Yes, should logically appeal to EVERY fan of this band.
I say this with all honesty: OTSOL is an incredible record, and I recommend it to PT fans and fans of psych/prog/astoundingly original music. Just don't think you'll get a "Shallow" riff here, because you're definitely not going to find one.
