The whole marketing campaign for this is making me nervous it’s gonna suck.

Looks like it
I don’t mind the marketing campaign at all. I’m more worried that he reportedly recorded all the parts himself on this one. Leading me to believe it will really light on the prog and heavy on cringey pop songs. Like Permanating. Fuck I hate that song.

Jesus Christ that was terrible
Not as bad as I was expecting. Steven Wilson is too happy these days. Married. Having a successful career as a prog dude. He needs to go back to a dark place so we can get what he’s best at.
I don’t mind the new single at all. It sounds like a much happier version of a NIN song. Not saying it’s better than anything on his older albums, because this is totally different, but I really kind of enjoyed it on first listen.

Wasn’t bad wasn’t great.
I’m really coming around to the tune and this is why. Now I actually really like it. To be expected. I should never doubt Mr Wilson.
Gross. I still hate it
Totally missed this song dropping 3 weeks ago. I like it a lot, actually. Definitely way better than anything off of TTB. I’m excited for the album.
As with many of my albums, The Future Bites is not just about the music, it’s a high concept project which involves design, artwork, video and a tour production, all on a grander scale than anything I’ve attempted before. However, due to the pandemic, there are unprecedented challenges, ranging from manufacturing issues (particularly in relation to the elaborate deluxe edition) and the uncertainty facing record stores as the coronavirus forces them to close their doors, to being unable to shoot most of the video material I planned. It’s therefore with a very heavy heart that I reluctantly need to postpone the release of The Future Bites until such time everything can happen as intended. This will now be January next year, with new music and video starting to be issued again around October. In the meantime the pre-order page for the various editions of the album will remain online, although I plan to take the deluxe edition off the site some time before it completely sells out, in order to give fans simply not in a position to purchase at the moment a chance to get it nearer the time. Meanwhile, myself, management, agent and promoters are monitoring the situation regarding the live shows scheduled for this autumn. Should events change we will let everyone know as soon as we do.
I understand that this may be disappointing news, and to no one more that myself, believe me. I worked on the music and background of this project for the last two years and was thrilled to finally be able to launch it. The response to the Personal Shopper track released last month has been phenomenal, and I was looking forward to unveiling more over the next few months in the build up to the release of the album. But alas due to the current circumstances it was not to be.
I sincerely send everyone reading this a message of good health, and I hope that one day in the not too distant future we can once again focus on things like music, which even if it isn’t strictly essential seems to somehow make life more worthwhile.

One of my favorite artists but god damn he’s an insufferable pretentious douchebag.
