FEAR OF A BLANK PLANET

The best prog bands have delivered albums without relevance as well as albums full of brilliant music that illuminate the path of many other bands. Porcupine Tree is one of these bands. With Deadwing as their peak (for the time being?), but with Fear of Blank Planet they missed me completely. Despite the positive reviews and ratings, and despite many attempts from me to try to understand this album I simply have to conclude that I dislike the heavy signature of the music. I can´t find nice melodies nor good songs. And it seems to me that Steven Wilson and co took the worst from prog metal to include it in their songs. I gave this album even a try to visit a gig in Tilburg during their FOABP tour. But this also turned out to be a disappointment, the songs remained too dark, the good musicianship buried under heavy riffs and dominant drumming It seemed that the band also did not really liked their music. There was almost no contact between the members of PT, not with the public. The soul has gone and I keep my fingers crossed for their next release within a few months. I dare not give up, so I will give it a chance.....
