This album is also annoying. The rhythm is hard to follow, and the few seconds of danceable rhythms explode suddenly and splash everywhere in a myriad of sounds. Forget about all those absurd classic and outdated ways of listening to pop music... This is true avant-garde music, music for the crazy and degenerate minds.

This album has everything and more of the best '80s radio rock and, at first listen, it almost seems like the small ensemble is having fun (and joking) as they delve into a musical genre already tried in all its sauces. Bridging the gap between experimentation and mainstream, avant-garde and trend, the Eurythmics remained faithful to the pop character of their proposals and did not seek to make pretentious anti-commercial and radical-chic claims.

If Wilson shows himself strong with his experience... Akerfeldt can only play the role of the diligent disciple. A sense of disorientation is perceived, at times our guys even appear demotivated, tarnished, unsure of the path to take.

Storm Corrosion is a collaboration between Steven Wilson and Mikael Åkerfeldt that explores vintage progressive rock atmospheres rather than metal. The album offers long, moody tracks filled with cinematic and folk influences, but suffers from a lack of focus and artistic direction.

The closing track shows promise for a more emotionally resonant future. Dive into Storm Corrosion’s atmospheric prog journey—listen now to experience the unique blend of Wilson and Åkerfeldt’s musical worlds.
