Steven Wilson – The Overview

Perfect pressing with perfect sound. I had the grey edition before, which had weird pressing errors in the last track, but this black one is great.

This version is ( or, was, depending when you’re reading this) at his web store for €15,15, excluding shipping costs.

Dead quiet, with dynamic sound. Im not getting any noise at all. Excellent pressing. Does the album justice.

Great album, great music with a great dynamic. Unfortunately, the pressing has a lot of crackles and pops, but the first version was swapped out, and the second version isn't much better, despite the wash. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to live with it.

My copy also has defects on both sides, as previously reported by other collectors, particularly persistent pops near the runouts. Despite being half-speed mastered, this pressing falls short of expectations. I own several half-speed cuts that sound noticeably superior; this one comes across as timid and restrained.

As for the music itself, Steven Wilson delivers a solid effort, well-crafted and immersive in parts, but it doesn’t reach the level of depth and impact found in albums like The Raven That Refused to Sing.

Sounds decent, great dynamics, but a little on the quiet site overall. There is some audible noisefloor and pops at the end of side 1 on mine. Not impressed. The music grows on you. It's not an instant classic.

Great album, good pressing, great dynamics. But I'm sad to say that side 2 has surface noise, side 1 has not. Maybe it needs a good cleaning, but I don't have a good cleaning machine.
The music is fantastic, something that needs a lot of listening to really appreciate.

This album is definitely a slow burn, but quite interesting at times, and surely unpredictable. I think it needs about 10 listens to sink in, like most good prog that has stood the test of time. Pretty amazing how silent the vinyl is on the quiet parts. Sonics can’t be beat — I often forgot I was listening to a vinyl LP.

Hello anyone who has this copies please let me know I can buy it
