Porcupine Tree : Fear Of A Blank Planet

Good album, one of the better progressive albums I think of the last decade.

Very good. Signify, Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun and In Absentia are better albums IMO.

I loathe Dream Theater, and enjoy PC even less. Their sound is manic and jumbled. They come across like failed jazz musicians w/ distortion. I voted awful after my friend raved about this album for months. Atrocious.

One of the best rock albums I've ever heard. The writing and production are fantastic and the rythm section - especially the drummer - is bad-f'ing-ass.

Excellent album, and I have to point out the outstanding guitar solo by Alex Lifeson during "Anesthetize." My PT collection starts with In Absentia, which didn't do much for me, but I really like Deadwing, Fear, and The Incident.

How do Light Bulb Sun and Stupid Dream compare to their more recent releases? Are they closer to In Absentina or Fear. Or, completely different?

I'm new to them as well. I've listened to every album at least twice. Light Bulb Sun and Stupid Dream are, imo, closer to In Absentia than Fear. So far, I feel that Fear is the best of their prog-metal period. Of their earlier psychedelic work, my favorites are The Sky Moves Sideways and Signify.

I'm not a big Porcupine Tree fan, but I must say that this album is amazing. There can be only two track for me - title one and Anethetize - which can made an every album excellent, but the rest tracks are also very vero good. Good job Mr Wilson!

Excellent album. This is probably the one album which, when I was introduced to it, was responsible for rekindling my passion for progressive rock, after many years of thinking it had run its course and that no one was producing anything interesting anymore.

Since then, of course, I have discovered a whole progressive scene of which I had been unaware.

This is definitely one of their best work. The songs fear of the blank planet and anesthesize really serves the culmination of their creativity, nuance, and attention to details
