Let me start by saying that I love Porcupine Tree, and they are easily one of my favorite bands.
Steven Wilson, in my opinion, is a genius. However, I do not stand by everything he does.
Frankly, I didn't really enjoy the last Porcupine Tree album, The Incident, or Signify, or their
debut, or even his first solo album. This album, however, is truly a progressive album. Forget
whatever preconceived notions you may have about this album and get ready for something that
cannot even be put into a genre. With hardly any percussion, almost no distorted electric
guitars, and not many upbeat parts, this album sounds like nothing I, for one, have ever heard
before. I can't even review individual songs because the entire album is very atmospheric, and
nothing really stands out. However, even though not much stands out, the atmospheres DO
stand out, and while I can't give this album a "masterpiece" label due to the lack of climatic
moments, it certainly deserves the title "excellent".
