Steven Wilson

A lot of his stuff is not even prog.
Raven, A Grace for Drowning, The sky moves sideways and The Incident are his only prog albums.

He is very pretentious. He is a hack. He has very wild knowledge about progressive. But, he and Opeth have literally have destroyed the meaning of Progressive. I used to enjoy PT and his solo works, Opeth is just meh now.

THIS IS NOT WHO YOU ARE LETS SMOKE A BOOOOOOOOOOOOOWL

I think steve is a great songwriter, aside from the occasionally cringy lyrics (god "four chords that made a million" sucks)
In Absentia deserves a place as /mu/core

>Opeth is just meh now
I know that the majority of their fans simply can't fathom the idea that they're not making progressive metal anymore. Shocking, I know. No growls, no fans.

>or because Fantano and Pitchfork do't like him
If you actually stay here for a couple of days, you would see the sheer amount of Pitchfork and Fantano threads. It's sickening.

Fantano, at least, is definitely right about him though. I listened to some tracks off Raven and thought it was decent / okay / good enough whatever, but when I watched his review I started to become aware of how derivative it was. Like when you're sitting in a room completely neutral but when someone tells you they think it smells bad in there you can't help but notice the scent now even if you try not to. Really sounds like 70s prog just churned out again, which doesnt have to be a bad thing but if your music sounds more like a carbon copy of other better artists from times before you then it is. I've been hesitant to start trying out Porcupine Tree for the same reason, but I will get around to it one day.

Milliontown - Frost*, Frames - Oceansize and even Lateralus are all some good examples of some really good modern / neo-prog that don't fall into that trap. There are good charts on the sticky too.

>Lateralus
Prepare for the flame wars. On a more serious note, I wouldn't say that Steven Wilson sounds derivative. It's especially evident on his latest album, Hand. Cannot. Erase. Insurgentes delves into more genres; ambient, noise rock and shoegaze. And not many classic prog bands from the 70's did that.

I am definitely biased off my first impression of Raven. I'll give his other work with Porcupine Tree and his latest album a listen today.

>his latest album a listen today
Definitely listen to Hand. Cannot. Erase. He said that 4 1/2 is a "deleted scenes album" from Hand. Cannot. Erase. I haven't listened to it, but I don't think it's very good, considering he said that when I saw him live last April. Check out Ninet too. She's really a breath of fresh air. I mean, just listen to those vocals and Israeli motifs:
