** There's hope for the Portnoy/Wilson/Akerfeldt project now that Portnoy's left Dream Theater though.

*** [[Jossed]]; according to Akerfeldt Portnoy is probably not going to be involved.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Steven, definitely.

* [[The Pete Best]]: A lot of the lyrics on ''Sunday'' were written by one of Wilson's school friends, Alan Duffy. By the time the band became an actual concern, the two had lost contact.

* [[Progressive Metal]]: ''In Absentia'' onward. It helps that ever since that album, the metal community has considered them a member, with websites such as ''Metal Storm'' and ''Metal Underground'' reviewing their latest albums and adding their artist profile to their database.

* [[Record Producer]]: Steven Wilson does it himself, and has produced other bands (most notably [[Opeth]]). He's also been remixing [[King Crimson]]'s old albums for re-release.

** The title of "The Nostalgia Factory" is a swipe at the music press' short attention span (and hilariously, ''Melody Maker'' compared the song to [[Ride]] when it came out, proving the point).

{{quote| '''Wilson''': One thing I’ve tended to experience with the British music press is that if you try to talk to them about the history of music, their knowledge often doesn’t go back beyond [[The Stone Roses]] or Happy Mondays.}}

** As seen below under Word Salad Lyrics, many of the lyrics prior to ''The Sky Moves Sideways'' or arguably ''Signify'' could fall under this. Nine Cats seems almost sensible compared to [http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/127040/ The Joke's On You].

* [[Word Salad Lyrics]]: Mostly seen on the earlier work, like "Nine Cats".
