Both solid albums, but I'm a fan of their early stuff, right up to the first live album.....that's the spacy sweet spot of the Tree.

Yes..by far the most overrated (oops...there's that word again...) lp in the PT catalog. Just for s**ts and giggles...I'd love to know what Wilson thinks of it compared to their other lp's.  Edited by dr wu23 - February 20 2021 at 13:13 |

I voted IA too for exactly these reasons.

19 to 7......alas....Fear is getting trounced.
While a very well played and recorded lp, when I finish listening to Fear nothing sticks in my head...no melodies or hooks. Fripp and Lifeson's contributions are buried in the mix imho. In Absentia has variety and interesting bits all over it....and actual melodies and songs that are memorable ..for me at least. There's that ole subjectivity thing in prog...again.

In Absentia, Fear is good album but not on the level of IA.

Fear of a Blank Planet. In Absentia is one of my least favourite albums in the entire PT catalog, and I'm constantly baffled at all the love it gets.

I'll need to listen to FOABP at least one more time before voting. Not too long ago I listened to IA but it's been a while for FOABP.
