BLACKFIELD IV

This album isn't even remotely close to anything prog, and I suspect that the association with Steven Wilson is the only reason we see it attached to this site. Wilson's break with Avi is apparent in the writing, musicianship and vocals on this disc. It's unfortunate that Steven Wilson has any relationship to this very average album, especially after his spectacular release of "The Raven That Refused To Sing". Blackfield IV is most assuredly contemporary radio, and nothing more. As a prog album, it doesn't even rate any stars. As a piece of background fluff for the next cocktail party, I guess it gets a 2.8/5
