DEADWING

Hi from Italy! Tonight I went to the Porcupine Tree show in Rome, and I'm writing this review to tell everybody that "Deadwing" is a fantastic album, especially when played live. Steven Wilson is a great composer and a great performer, he is able to interact with his public and also the other members of the group. A great concert, also because of the opening show of "Anathema", which played a lot of beautiful songs with energy (incredible version of "Lost Control"). But let's go back to the album. Maybe a song like "Lazarus" is not the kind of song you expect to find in a PT album, but anyway is worth a listen: "Shallow", "Arriving Somewhere....", "Mellotron Scratch", "Halo", are all beautiful tracks, and well composed and played. This is not "Signify" or "Stupid Dream", but it's not an album for the young listener: every fan of PT should listen to it, good lyrics too. I got a copy autographed by every member of the band! Cool! Bye.
