The podcast for the Rogues' Gallery broadcast on Sept 10 included most of The Incident. Link

 

I am thinking uh-oh.

 

It just may have to grow on me. But then again, so did almost every other PT release and all of my favorite CDs took some time to appreciate.

What a great band. Saw them for the first time on the Deadwing tour (love In Absentia but THIS is their masterpiece!) at a small club in DC and they were incredible. Gavin blew me away. Edited September 12, 2009 by greg2112

Are you saying Deadwing is their masterpiece? If so I agree!

 

I also also saw PT in a small club ( less than a 1,000) and Gavin blew me away too!

 

I can't wait to hear the new disc.

Their best CD is In Absentia, IMO. Diverse and dynamic.

I like the songs a bit better than the former.

Now that is one great video! I never knew JW sang the chorus.

I have to say, I'm becomming more and more blown away by this band. I've spent the last week listening to Lightbulb Sun, In Absentia, and FOABP (mostly Absentia) - and I just can't get enough. The more I hear the more I.... HEAR. So much in the music to pick out that I didn't hear on the previous listen. It's just awesome. I'm serious when I say I have not had this kind of a feeling about a band since I had my epiphony with Rush back in 1991. The more I listen to these guys, the more I want to dive in deeper, and listen more. This is huge.

 

It's like Rush and Pink Floyd slammed together and out popped Porcupine Tree. Yet they don't for a minute sound like a copy band, or somone trying to rip off the sound or identity from someone else. They totally make their own mark on every song.

 

Personal Favs at this point are:

 

Dark Matter (the song that started it all for me)

Hatesong

Blackest Eyes

Trains

THE SOUND OF MUZAK (my fav)

3

Prodigal

Anesthetize

Sleep Together

 

The CD I've listened least to is Lightbulb Sun. Something about it just sounds 'old' even at the time of its release, so it's taken a little bit more getting used to, while the others just sucked me right in.

 

I want MORE!

I was asked if I wanted to buy tickets for the NY show coming up in a week and a half, but I don't think I can make it so I told him no.

 

I'd really like to see them live.

As you might imagine SW's attention to detail carries over to the live show.   Definitely check out Deadwing when you can, its amazing.

They are coming nowhere near me on this first leg... so not this time..

 

 

But for the FOABP tour they did a second leg and came back and did some other cities....

 

I hope they do that again.

[The Owl]

and Pags... It seems your acquainted with alot of PT's modern stuff..

 

I would now recommend going back and checking out some of the early stuff.

I truly hope this is what they do. I missed out on the FOABP tour because of something unbelievably ridiculous. I've yet to see them live.   BTW, I got the link from The Omega Order to download the digital album, but I'm not gonna. The real deal, deluxe dealie should be on my doorstep when I get home. I can't wait.

I really wanted to catch them this tour, but I may not be able to. Not having a job will do that.
