Porcupine Tree : Fear Of A Blank Planet (favorite song, great song, album)

Is it true he got the name from Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet? (according to wikipedia)

ProggyMan · 05-01-2008, 10:28 PM

Probably. Seems likely I mean.

Such an amazing album, the EP Nil Recurring was just as amazing.

Indeed. Great album. Better than Deadwing in that there were no melodramatic love songs. Did anyone see the Arriving Somewhere DVD? I was so excited when I heard about it. Then I watched it and was pretty disappointed in that Steven Wilson was waaay overboard with those damn hand gestures. I half-expected him to reminiscently bring those two fingers up to his nose for a whiff during "Arriving Somewhere but Not Here". He killed that song for me for awhile, but it's way too good to be ruined forever.

Two years ago, I was completely annoyed by this album at first since half the album was built on one track, or as it seemed. It took me a couple of tries through for me to actually appreciate this album. Once I got into the album, the tracks felt as though they grew on me.

Sorry, I brought Deadwing into the picture and now I don't know which album you're referring to because FOBP came out about roughly two years ago.

I listened to this album today, but I'll probably have to listen again before I can form a proper opinion. It felt a little more consistant as an album than other Porcupine Tree I've heard.

Can't wait to hear what you think about it, Alfred. Did you watch the vid?

Alfred · 04-06-2009, 08:41 PM

No, but the video reminded me that I needed to finally listen to that Riverside EP I downloaded.

I'll watch it though, I absolutely love Arriving Somewhere. The most amazing song I've ever heard.
