Our Take

Steven Wilson's latest release, 4.5in, is a wild ride through the sonic landscape of a mad musical scientist. From the opening track, "Microscopic Mess," it's clear that Wilson isn't content to just stick to one sound. He's all over the map, throwing in elements of prog-rock, electronic, and even a touch of jazz-fusion.

The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal track shining through crystal-clear. Wilson's attention to detail is evident in every note, creating a rich tapestry of sound that begs to be listened to on repeat.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Shrinking Universe," a sprawling epic that clocks in at over 10 minutes long. Wilson's songwriting chops are on full display here, as he effortlessly weaves together intricate melodies and complex rhythms.

Throughout the album, Wilson's vocals are pitch-perfect, soaring to incredible heights one minute and dipping down to a soft whisper the next. His dynamic range is truly impressive, and it's a joy to listen to him push himself to new heights.

In conclusion, 4.5in is a triumphant achievement for Steven Wilson. With its genre-bending sound and impeccable production, this album is sure to appeal to fans old and new alike. Don't miss out on this musical journey - it's one you'll want to take again and again.
