DEADWING

I thought I would be disappointed, after some people here called "Deadwing" crap (I'd very much like to see how these people look like, to find out what their age and education is what else they consider crap). On the first listening, the first track, 'Deadwing', might be indeed slightly disappointing because the first part of it is played almost on one note - no development of melody. But when I listened to it a few more times, I started to understand its structure and it became more and more accessible. Other tracks are simply brilliant - not a single boring piece (of which we can find several on, say, "Stupid Dream") and a lot of yummy progressive sound! My personal fauvorites are 'Halo' and 'Arriving Somewhere But Not Here'. I think "Deadwing" is the most balanced and mature PT album (and probably the heaviest) - it sounds like a good mix (or shake) of "The Sky Moves Sideways" and "In Abscentia". And if these two albums are certainly five stars each, then "Deadwing" should not trail here. Five stars! Excellent, very enjoyable work! I am certainly going to see the group during their US tour!
