Nah, it was a demo SW did for the original intended Storm Corrosion project with Mr Opeth (although I don't suppose it had the Storm Corrosion name back then).

So, we're doing the 2001 era demo? I'll give that a 7

But I would give the finished 2010 mix a 9.

Still, neither is a PT track, but worth mentioning anyway because it's good

All apologies then...
All this ribbon confused me.

Hmm. Bottom of the barrel.

Even completists like us have to admit that this is the throwaway.

This is on the same bootleg as Cut Ribbon, which makes me wonder whether it was intended for PT or something else. The version I have (which I think is the only one) seems to finish very abruptly, which is a shame as it sounds like a great start to a longer track. I could imagine me giving an 8 to what the full track would be like (in my mind) but for this short piece I'll give...

(Not really a fair thing to rate though, as it seems like a partial bit of an unreleased track)

This song is great. Took a bit to get into, but once it clicks, it clicks. That bassline is to die for.

Yep, classic stuff.

This hypnotic beast should have been on the album. There's no excuses.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for this song, others not so much. It looks great on the surface, but this song has a samey feel to it.

This song sounds very non-PT to me; more like SW quoting King Crimson.
That said it's good for it's awkwardness, maybe a bit repetive.

Deadwing

The lyrics are pretty clunky, but I give it points for rocking...

2. Shallow

Solid, yet still a bit ordinary.

Shallow

A perfect titel.
Dull beyond believe, yet bearable in the album's flow but surely on of PT's worst up to that point.
It could have lived without it.

Shallow

There is something a bit annoying to the tune of this one, although I have come to accept it more over time.

Nice one.

The dull radio pop single.

Love it.

4. Halo

Another solid rock song.

Not one of my favorites but it's still a solid rock song.
