The Overview is the upcoming eighth studio album by English progressive rock musician Steven Wilson, slated to be released on 14 March 2025 via Fiction Records.
Featuring only two 20-minute tracks, it is expected to return to a progressive rock sound after Wilson had previously moved into more electronic territory with recent releases.
The record is a concept album about the Overview effect, a cognitive shift caused by viewing the Earth from space.
This concept was utilized as a starting point for the sound of the record, which was described by Wilson as being similar to acts such as Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and Vangelis in "a modern context".
