THE HARMONY CODEX

Steven Wilson has always hated classifications and fans pigeonholing him into a single genre or style, making disappointment inevitable when you don't fit into those parameters. And in this latest work he wanted to give us a little bit of everything: from touches of classic progressive, electronic pop, ambient, touches of jazz... long themes, short themes... This obsession to go out of the canons, may be to the detriment of an album perhaps too varied. But even so, you can see the coherence, the narrative... and above all the great imagination to tell stories through musical ideas. That's Steven Wilson... you have to accept all those contradictions and changes that, on the other hand, are a good part of the genius of his art.
