I do not get this album. It is full of forlorn unmelodic noise that in my opinion does not contain the brilliance of his work with porcupine tree, not to mention doing the sound engineering on Jethro Tull's latest album Thick as a Brick 2. Grace for Drowning falls short of my expectations of what Steven Wilson is capable of. In saying that however this album is tagged ‘alternative’ which is a far cry from progressive rock that Porcupine Tree are better known for. The track ‘Raider 2’ has a couple of moments but next to the 23 minute duration of the song is not nearly enough. This album is hard to listen to and not very entertaining
