This is a really great song from Disc 2 off The Incident.  I had totally forgotten about the second disc after I bought The Incident so it never got any play at first.  I was too busy spinning Disc 1 and loving it.  Then, I heard this song hear at RP a few months back and remembered about the second disc.  I took it out and put it in my car, and discovered all 4 songs on disc 2 are incredible!  As a Tree nut I shouldn't be surprised, right?  It has not left my car, nor will it anytime soon.  It's just like the Nil Recurring EP to me now (another 4 great songs).  If anyone else has overlooked their Incident Disc 2, I strongly recommend you dig it out.  Thanks RP!

Is Steven Wilson performing in Seattle soon?

 

Never did figure out what the lyrics were hinting at.....

 

You have no interest in the past
Where you came from
Where you're going to

There's a cliche in your eye
File the edges down
Soon be underground

There's nothing here for you under the sun
There's nothing new to do, it's all been done
So put your faith in another place
< From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/black-dahlia-lyrics-porcupine-tree.html >

Never seem to get away from this
It's all fallen into an abyss
So put your foot on the pedal boy

All you know is secondhand
Will it pass through
The cage inside you?

You stole the only thing you love
So unfaithful
Drop is fatal

For the life of me I can't figure why this would be rated sucko-barfo. I'm at a loss.

I give this an 8 myself. Music enters all ears differently I guess.

My wife and I hiked down to the Pacific Ocean yesterday.  We ended up in a conversation with a neighbour who had a great patch of Dahlias.  (So do we.)   I noted that the music festival t-shirt and mentioned that my favourite keyboardist had written a song about Dahlias.

Take a left at Jupiter Island; drive all night until you can see the Nun's Cleavage.  Avoid the Radioactive Toy.  Wear your Wastecoat.  Turn right at The Hole and keep heading east until you see the Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape.  Knock three time on The Cross.  Tell them "Sir Tarquin Underspoon" sent you. . .

Hi all the PT fans!

 

This song makes me think that I should switch out the stock component speakers in the 1993 pathfinder with after-market component speakers. The mid-range is fine.  I don't need to add a subwoofer.  Space is at a premium.

I don't think that is being too harsh.  I bought this album pretty much without hearing any of the tracks, simply assuming it would do for me what In Absentia, Deadwing and Fear of a Blank Planet have. Just not so.  I have really given this whole album time to sink in, but the three aforementioned albums are just hands-down better to me. I wish I felt different about it.

This song captures a bit of that former glory - my favorite of the bunch. I give it more than a 4, but still...

Deadwing is simply so monumental, maybe the bar was raised too high.  

Dats my $0.02. 

 
Thanks for agreeing with me.

In Absentia & Deadwing are in my top 10 CD's of all time and are outstanding in every way, PT started falling when Fear of a Blank Planet came out, they hit the ground hard with this dud. I bought The Incident because it was Porcupine Tree - I wish I hadn't.

I consider Wilson's Insergentes a better PT album (even though it's not) than PT's last 2 efforts.

I have also seen them 3 times in concert and have all of their CDs. I am also addicted to them and also love some of Steven's other interests including Opeth and Katatonia which are darker, heavier groups of the metal vein. Just saw Katatonia in concert and it was both raw and musically mesmerizing. Great band if you like the heavier part of PT.

Buy the DVDs. They help bring back the concert connections we have from going to shows and also illustrate what a competent band these guys are live as well as the studio. It's one thing to able to put out a great studio album but to also do the same job in concert (night after night).

I also love that Steven Wilson is into King Crimson. I listened to these guys (KC) when I was in high school (70s) and also like how the members of the band are mature men in their late 30s (Gavin the baby), to their early 50s (Richard the professor)!

Oh, and RP also introduced Porcupine Tree to me and I cannot thank Bill enough for doing this (as well as many other bands that I would not hear on Radio).

The Incident CD is simply amazing and the bonus CD might be even better.

 

I think Barbieri should write more songs and Barbieri and Wilson should co-write more songs.  And yeah I know, I'm guessing the collaboration is not entirely smooth.  Suck it up guys!  Write. That's an order.
