Standing Shows fucking suck, I want to sit like a real SW fan
I'm in the US and it's showing up at #8 overall for albums on Apple/iTunes for me.

Edit: Perhaps the ranking is global if you are not signed in or you do not have your location services enabled?
Thanks! I actually made it myself using Kustom Live Wallpaper Maker for android. You could make one yourself for free (took me a few hours), or I believe you can import mine if you get the pro version. If you did I think you would just have to search SW Raven in the app.
I'll have to agree with the Transience bit, since it didn't make sense for him to make it a vinyl-only release if he wanted his music to reach a wider audience, but in terms of touring and booking shows, his management is more in charge of that than he is. You can read more how the process works here.
I know fans that live in the southern part of the U.S. are just as vocal about Wilson visiting this part of the country as Brazil is. If anything, I'm just as surprised as you are that he's not going to Brazil this tour, since he seems very popular with prog rock fans there (but correct me if I'm wrong). But in any case, it's not his fault that he's not going to those locations. It's management you'd want to blame, not him. I'm sure he'd love to go back to Brazil at some point.
TL;DR: The Transience release was a little lame, management needs to see the obvious demand for SW shows in the U.S. South and Brazil.
1) The Raven That Refused to Sing
2) Hand. Cannot. Erase.
3) Grace for Drowning
4) Insurgentes
I think the first three albums are largely equal, with Insurgentes being slightly weaker. I enjoy listening to all of the albums, however.
