Sasha2001 Sep 26, 2012 - 20:24 | nice tune but lyrics as deep as a Hallmark card. |
Euskadita Feb 22, 2012 - 21:08 | For me, this is the no.1 album of the 2000's |

(No Man doesn't really fit into this argument LOL) Still my favorite musical madman though . Thanks for the excellent analysis DW. Just saw SW's solo act live. Hearing this for the first time - recognized the voice instantly and kept waiting for change of tempo or crunching guitars and then....read your note. Not knowing nearly as much as you I would have to agree that perhaps he ought to explore all territories under one moniker - or at least on one album. |

westslope Aug 26, 2011 - 17:14 | Good points Deadwing! This apparent comparmentalization probably helps keep the musical creativity juices flowing. But to be fair, the last two Porcupine Tree have had some range and different stuff that was probably written colloboratively in the studio.
How is the latest Blackfield? |

Porcupine Tree has definitely adopted a prog metal edge and is more adventurous melodically and rhythmically.

Dave_Mack Mar 18, 2011 - 17:27 | Pretty good stuff. I'm at a loss for why Steven Wilson has PT, this band, and a solo project too. They seem to have the same sound to me, though maybe I could tell if I compared them side-by-side. |
TreborG2 Mar 03, 2011 - 13:51 | ... Me Too ... :) I too thought it Porcupine Tree - esq .. yeah I have to spell it out else I forget how to spell.. but then the singer didn't sound familiar.. look at monitor 2, see the mini play list and not see P.T.'s name ... INVESTIGATE ... and here we are... a member of PT is in there and the sound is very good.. so have to rate highly ... Mainstream radio... loose your ground again.. |
