I first listened to them through 'Time Flies'. I'm late, forgive me. But I plan on buying every single Porcupine Tree album and listening to them in order.
@robhartjr1993 IMO the later albums were better. earlier ones had less and less heavy sections. I haven't gotten into the earliest stuff yet. My favorite so far is still the incident.
I'm not saying heavier is better, actually PT's heavy sound is kind of bland sounding but I think it is better combined with the lighter sections. The earlier albums were lighter all the way through, at least from my experience.
@leprouskoala They were also more psychedelic in the early days(and could write lighthearted songs like Linton Samuel Dawson). I love all their eras. The early days were beautifully textured and the songs had more of a Journey feel to them(a musical journey. not the band.) They sounded just as interesting back then as now. Perhaps more.
@wilska1337 I don't see how Portnoy would be able to do a job half as good as Gavin Harrison does without ruining everything with a "look at me" drum fill every 10th second. Don't get me wrong, Portnoy is a solid drummer, but he can be a craving attention whore, trying to fit in as much drumming as possible so he can win yet another Modern Drummer Magazine award. He might be fit for a band in a genre like DT, but Porcupine? I don't think so.
Btw, the music might be "too cheerful" for In Absentia, but it would have made a brilliant finale to it. I mean the tiredness of the lyrics, that sense of wanting to escape the routine of insanity. It seems like sort of a proper ending, mellow and hopeless.
None of these guys have ever fully collaborated with each other on a new project, and while Gavin is fucking awesome, that we be putting in two PT members into what could be a group with people from all different bands.
yeah that's because this sounds a FUCKING LOT like Paranoid Android in the beginning, don't you think? I had the same impression the first time I listened to this, actually everytime I do.
i have bought Fear of A Blank Planet. and i didn't really like it. now i am kind of exploring other albums by them and i like it a lot more. not sure if i will buy it though.
I didn't ask your name so I don't know what your name is 'boy from the band Death Cookies' but thank you so much. You got me to one of the best songs I have ever listened. This song is literally taking my heart away. How come I never listened to this band before, it's just.... MAGICAL.
I guess it was not released for a good reason? Sounds very Radioheadish, except SW's high pitch isn't as effective as what Thom Yorke would..and solo Akerfedt style. BTW, i am a huge fan of PT so no disrespect to SW or his works...but this doesn't cut.
yea i've listened to it a few more times in the past couple of days and looked at the lyrics and now i do believe it's porcupine tree. lyrically it's pretty obvious, but the way the chorus is sung too.
my previous reaction was kinda not thought trough, more like a first impulse:P
@OPETHLURVE I saw PT 3 times last at Radio City and every emotion came out of me from dancing my ass off just closing my eyes and reaching to the sky and banging my freaking head like it's going to give me a permanent headache. I think your right to an extent i've never been into moshing at all i think it's kinda lame but i couldn't believe how many people were basically lifeless just either sitting or staring up at the stage. After those same people gave them the biggest ovation.
@PTHead1 some people jsut like seeing the preformance and listening to the music rather than getting into it. think about it. alot of people, like myself, smoke some grass before a show what better way to blow your high than to dance around and bang you know. some people jsut like being high and enjoying the live sound.
Isurus, an original and progressive rock band based in South London, are looking for a vocalist. We have a professionally equipped studio. Currently, we are a guitarist, bassist, and drummer and are looking for a likeminded singer to complete our lineup - someone versatile with a great voice (think Maynard James Keenan, Mike Patton, James Labrie, etc).
this is a rare one! It's extremely unique among their catalogue. It could have perhaps fit on in absentia as a denouement, but tonally it's a bit off from the rest of the album in that its insidiousness is more subversive, if it is there at all.
question - Where can this song be found?? It's not actually on the 'In Absentia' album, I have it... is this one of those annoying deals where an artist writes an amazing song and makes it impossible for fans to purchase it?
@drrocksosplace and now steven wilson, Akerfeldt and portnoy are rumored to be working on a project together. Can you believe that?! Opeth+P.T+ D.T= Recreation of the Universe
Unfortunately you're wrong. Today it is only Akerfeldt and Steven that is working together. They announced last year that there wasn't a place for Portnoy on this record (=no drums). The album has been written, and is now beeing finished. Probably set for release spring 2012. Can't f**king wait! By the way, new interviews up with both SW and Akerfeldt here on youtube made by FaceCulture posted the 15th july..
@slipknotmeep man dude, i listen to everything xD. from underground rap, to new york hardcore, country, death metal, classical, jazz, progressive lol. anything that takes talent haha.
PT is one of my three favourite modern prog bands (the other two being Marillion and DT).
But Tool is a band that exposes prog in ways none of these bands are able to. Comparing any of these four bands is like comparing a Lamborghini to a Ferrari.
@jrodaniansparkes i think the incident was a well grouded album,amazing artistry and one thing about PT every album will sound different not like allot of bands especially jam bands that every album sounds the same same old stuff i give SW allot of credit for what he has accomplished
I actually think the band is not releasing any songs in their classic style which i love any more. Like this, Normal, Radioactive Toy, Nine Cats, and loads more of their first stuff is amazing, i think SW is just trying to appeal to a wider audience (and make more money and fame) rather than writing the music in his heart that he wrote on the early albums. I strongly dislike The Incident and i lost a lot of respect for SW from that album.
.. Normal was from the EP Nil Recurring. That was released after Fear of a Blank Planet, the following studio release was The Incident. When I went to the Incident part of their set was Half-Light. They also played Lazarus. "On the Sunday of Life..." was individually made by SW and no other band members. I think that partly reflects the nature of the music. It isn't to appeal, SW just releases what he comes up with - and this time you didn't find it enjoyable. Thats all.
Also in the Incident's defense, it had plenty of tracks that where reminiscent of PT's older stuff: Great Expectations/Kneel and Disconnect, Time Flies, Flicker, Black Dahlia, The Yellow Windows of the Evening Train, and The Seance.
The entire album actually, has a very experimental emphasis. I think they had a lot more of a risk to lose out on this album than any other they've released.
@Erectoralporicy you have to see them live to understand that this album was meant to be listened to in order... each song is nothing compared to "The Incident" album experience
lol, I saw em on the first leg of the incident tour. went all the way to Seattle for it. I was just saying that the dude was wrong about SW selling out for a bigger audiene.
I saw PT in concert and the venue was sold out, we were pakt like sardines.. and all I wanted to do was mosh.. but nobody was moshing! So I resented the fans for that, not SW, because it's not his fault that most fans don't understand his music enough to such a degree of corporeal passion, where the act of /feeling/ songs like "Anesthetize" or even "Way Out Of Here" makes you angry!!!! instead of turning you into a passive dipshit resenting others who find expression NECESSARY.
Yeah man, I know the feeling. We were at the Moore Theatre, so there really was no choice. All in all though, great performance. Sometimes I dig just sitting there and taking in the music - and watch the awesomeness on stage.
@OPETHLURVE honestly, the time signatures are a often little weird, which makes it hard to move to. I enjoy moshing to some music, but PT requires a bit more conscious attention to appreciate, both musically and compositionally. It's not blind rage, but catharsis and release, or something like that.
@bokanovskyprocess Which I can express with my body... is that offensive? I certainly hope so because moshing is not the opposite term... Regardless: I understand why people choose not to mosh, so why can't I mosh? At their show I had spoken to enough fans who wanted to start a mosh pit and thought similar to me. They weren't drunk idiots (yet), they were merely EXTREMELY AVID LOVERS of their music and wanted to express it in a corporeal sense.
You seem to resent people who don't tharsh their heads about to music, so why shouldn't they resent you? Or rather, why don't we all stop resenting each other and just listen to the fucking music. : )
@Restayvien No, but seriously, I resent them only due to their negativity towards me. All I want to do is express myself, and so do they. How can we not find middle ground on those terms when society itself is?
@taotrac Amen brother steven wilson is the hardest working musician in the biz and how about Steven Wilson / Mikael Akerfeldt collaboration working album title is Storm Corrosion. Don't expect any metal on this one. YES PT opeth and dream theater ---------tool who? Steven Wilson is god
If anyone's arguing over Tool or Steven Wilson (meaning PT, with their 8+ albums and all his other endless projects, Bass Communion, Solo Work, No Man, Blackfield, his long list of album production credits, ect ect.) it's no doubt that Steven Wilson has worked 100X harder as his career than anyone in Tool ever has. All that means that scientifically, he is more experienced at making music than anyone in Tool, even by time frame. Steven is also an extremely diverse multi-instrumentalist; +1.
@Taotrac You don't know what your talking about, I know Steven Wilson is a hard worker, but you can't belittle Tool, they have successful side-projects and have gone to great lengths to get their music out there too. They're both amazing bands and I can't see a point in having to determine which is better or who has more side projects.
i need advice from the PT fans... Dream Theater is my favorite band, which PT cd would you recommend that I get? Right now i'm thinking about In Absentia, is this a good starter album?
@senecadawg2 Well my top three PT albums are In Absentia, The Sky Moves Sideways and Signify, so yeah, I highly recommend it as your starter album. It all depends of what kind of music you're into (I love DT too).
Hey! In Absentia is very good, I would also recommend Fear of a Blank Planet, Deadwing and the Incident. Especially since you're into Dream Theater. Many of the older albums tend to have hard-to-diggest songs if you haven't got used to the band first. The albums that I mentioned is easier to like if you're not very used to the band yet! ;-)
@senecadawg2 Hmmm, For a metalhead is better to with Deadwing, or maybe FOABP, they're kinda darker. In Absentia is sort of a collage of all the styles the band can handle (which I love all)
I was gonna go listen to Dream Theater 20 minutes ago... these guys just keep on happening :D

Like this, Normal, Radioactive Toy, Nine Cats, and loads more of their first stuff is amazing, i think SW is just trying to appeal to a wider audience (and make more money and fame) rather than writing the music in his heart that he wrote on the early albums. I strongly dislike The Incident and i lost a lot of respect for SW from that album.

.. Normal was from the EP Nil Recurring. That was released after Fear of a Blank Planet, the following studio release was The Incident. When I went to the Incident part of their set was Half-Light. They also played Lazarus. "On the Sunday of Life..." was individually made by SW and no other band members. I think that partly reflects the nature of the music. It isn't to appeal, SW just releases what he comes up with - and this time you didn't find it enjoyable. Thats all.

Also in the Incident's defense, it had plenty of tracks that where reminiscent of PT's older stuff: Great Expectations/Kneel and Disconnect, Time Flies, Flicker, Black Dahlia, The Yellow Windows of the Evening Train, and The Seance.
The entire album actually, has a very experimental emphasis. I think they had a lot more of a risk to lose out on this album than any other they've released.

@Erectoralporicy you have to see them live to understand that this album was meant to be listened to in order... each song is nothing compared to "The Incident" album experience

lol, I saw em on the first leg of the incident tour. went all the way to Seattle for it. I was just saying that the dude was wrong about SW selling out for a bigger audiene.

I saw PT in concert and the venue was sold out, we were pakt like sardines.. and all I wanted to do was mosh.. but nobody was moshing! So I resented the fans for that, not SW, because it's not his fault that most fans don't understand his music enough to such a degree of corporeal passion, where the act of /feeling/ songs like "Anesthetize" or even "Way Out Of Here" makes you angry!!!! instead of turning you into a passive dipshit resenting others who find expression NECESSARY.

Yeah man, I know the feeling. We were at the Moore Theatre, so there really was no choice. All in all though, great performance. Sometimes I dig just sitting there and taking in the music - and watch the awesomeness on stage.
Erectoralporicy 1 year ago
@OPETHLURVE honestly, the time signatures are a often little weird, which makes it hard to move to. I enjoy moshing to some music, but PT requires a bit more conscious attention to appreciate, both musically and compositionally. It's not blind rage, but catharsis and release, or something like that.

@bokanovskyprocess Which I can express with my body... is that offensive? I certainly hope so because moshing is not the opposite term... Regardless: I understand why people choose not to mosh, so why can't I mosh? At their show I had spoken to enough fans who wanted to start a mosh pit and thought similar to me. They weren't drunk idiots (yet), they were merely EXTREMELY AVID LOVERS of their music and wanted to express it in a corporeal sense.

You seem to resent people who don't tharsh their heads about to music, so why shouldn't they resent you? Or rather, why don't we all stop resenting each other and just listen to the fucking music. : )

@Restayvien No, but seriously, I resent them only due to their negativity towards me. All I want to do is express myself, and so do they. How can we not find middle ground on those terms when society itself is?

If anyone's arguing over Tool or Steven Wilson (meaning PT, with their 8+ albums and all his other endless projects, Bass Communion, Solo Work, No Man, Blackfield, his long list of album production credits, ect ect.) it's no doubt that Steven Wilson has worked 100X harder as his career than anyone in Tool ever has. All that means that scientifically, he is more experienced at making music than anyone in Tool, even by time frame. Steven is also an extremely diverse multi-instrumentalist; +1.

@Taotrac You don't know what your talking about, I know Steven Wilson is a hard worker, but you can't belittle Tool, they have successful side-projects and have gone to great lengths to get their music out there too. They're both amazing bands and I can't see a point in having to determine which is better or who has more side projects.

i need advice from the PT fans... Dream Theater is my favorite band, which PT cd would you recommend that I get? Right now i'm thinking about In Absentia, is this a good starter album?
senecadawg2 1 year ago
@senecadawg2 Yes, this and deadwing are great albums to start with.

@senecadawg2 Yes...in absentia was my first album too...i got hooked after that
mponce92 1 year ago
@senecadawg2 Well my top three PT albums are In Absentia, The Sky Moves Sideways and Signify, so yeah, I highly recommend it as your starter album. It all depends of what kind of music you're into (I love DT too).

@senecadawg2
Hey! In Absentia is very good, I would also recommend Fear of a Blank Planet, Deadwing and the Incident. Especially since you're into Dream Theater. Many of the older albums tend to have hard-to-diggest songs if you haven't got used to the band first. The albums that I mentioned is easier to like if you're not very used to the band yet! ;-)

@senecadawg2 Hmmm, For a metalhead is better to with Deadwing, or maybe FOABP, they're kinda darker. In Absentia is sort of a collage of all the styles the band can handle (which I love all)

@senecadawg2 Perfect. But you really can't go wrong with any PT albums. I'd suggest the "Arriving Somewhere..."DVD
