Mar 21, 2015In his review in Record Collector Steven kind of dismissed his association with Porcupine Tree which is strange because this record sounds like a watered down version of some of his their work together.

Mar 6, 2015And Yet again, Steven Wilson has outdone himself! The concept is sure to resonate with each and every individual feeling isolated in this age of technology. Astonishingly Brilliant Record! It is a Masterpiece of the highest order!!

Mar 7, 2015This is one of those albums that truly leaves a mark on the listener. It's a fascinating journey filled with layers and subtleties that are not commonly found in music nowadays. Simply a masterpiece.

Mar 4, 2015For the moment, the best album of the year, te music is perfect, and smart, in this album, Steven Wilson put the idea for TRTRTS, but more understandable.

Jun 9, 2015This was a fantastic piece of art. It was amazing! Every single song on this album, whether it is heavy, experimental, or softer, it works exquisitely. This is, at least in my opinion, one of steven wilson's best works, EVER. And yes, better than In Abstenia and Fear of A Blank Planet. I cannot lie about that.

Dec 22, 2015Was unfamiliar with this artist, but picked this up due to high rankings. Album was eminently listenable and great musicianship. Took me back to my high school years when I had time to listen to full album side-length tracks.

Jan 18, 2016These kinds of albums don't come very often, a true timeless piece of art. Steven Wilsons current band consists of probably one of the best lineups ever... Marco Minneman, Guthrie Govan, Marco Minneman and Nick Beggs in the same band, adding to that SWs songwriting and mixing.. you cant go wrong. 10/10 even after listening to the album almost a year now.

Apr 22, 2015Hand. Cannot. Erase. is an incredible addition to Wilson's body of work. Drawing from the simple and the complicated, progressive and pop, light and darkness, it proves that no force can erase his talent and standing as one of the best and most underrated musicians of today.

Mar 13, 2015If we’re talking about Wilson in relation to his ability to piece together a meticulous concept, Hand. Cannot. Erase. is a definite winner. [Brice Ezell review]

Mar 13, 2015With Hand. Cannot. Erase., Wilson has crafted another [flawed] masterpiece that won’t soon be forgotten. [Jordan Blum review]
