Finally the album is released,and a stunning album it is.Some tracks have preceded the full release,but the full album is well worth the wait.

My favourite tracks:

Dignity - imo one of the greatest Porcupine Tree on record - the atmosphere to this track is magical

Harridan - The opening track and a typical Wilson /PT track -dynamic -much better than the single edit as it develops.

Herd Culling - Love the chorus and the guitars on this -instantly memorable

On the New Day - Track 2 -Could be a single release if one needs releasing -catchy chorus

There are 3 bonus tracks,which would grace any full album,and really should have made this release a double:

Never Have: Love this track and should really replace the rather weak Rats's Return,as should Love in the Past Tense replace Walk the Plank -2 great tracks.

Population 3 is an instrumental in the vein of Opeth,King Crimson.

Chimera's Wreck is the last full track and at 9.39,the longest.It starts slowly and picks up around 4.28,builds from there to a stunning guitar sequence.Great track,but imo does not eclipse Dignity.

Yes,this album is Essential -not perfect -but I'd say leave out Rats Return,Walk the Plank and replace by Never Have and Love in The Past TensE and make Population 3,Rats Return,Walk the Plank and the single Harridan as the bonus,and you nearly have it!
