I was waiting for this album with anxiety con Blackfield I was a great nice beautiful surprise for me. After listeninf severak times and month still don't catch me... and I don't know why...

I really love almost every work made by Steve Wilson but I still can't get Blackfield II. Ok, I can't say it's a bad album, in fact there are a lot of great songs and beautiful and melancholic lyrics. "Once" is a very nice pop/rock song; Where Is My Love? Really broke my heart and still makes my cry; Epidemic (my favourite) is a great song with dark lyrics and closer to soem experimetal heavy rock tunes; and This Killer and My Gift Od Silence are two beautiful pop ballads with amazing lyrics (again)... But still there's something that doesn't fit... Maybe the order of the tracks or that constant sense of listening some recycled music from the pop-alternative bands of the 90's. I still don't know.

Anyway is an album nice to play during sunday evenings. Sometimes catchy, most of the time extremely nostalgic. I hate to compare albums but Blackfield I was very close to be a masterpiece (IMHO) but Blackfield II still sounds to me like a compilation of soft-prog songs with just some few memorable moments...
