Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

I think it's a solid review. The Porcupine Tree tracks I like are REALLY REALLY good but every album does have filler on and Blackest Eyes is bland boring alt rock that could be written by a multitude of bands.

I love Blackest Eyes, I think it is a really cool song and was one of the first I heard from Porcupine Tree. In fact, this was the first album I ever acquired and think it deserves much more credit than this review gives.

I heard Deadwing first so that's by far my favourite but I think that Wilson is such a great songwriter that he sometimes spreads himself too thin over his many projects and the odd banal track creeps into PT's music. I just don't think that Blackest Eyes is dynamic enough and doesn't quite fit on the album personally.
