Both albums currently scoring 4.26 on PA and are Porcupine Tree's best two albums with these scores, but which one do you like best:
2002 - In Absentia - 4.26 2007 - Fear of a Blank Planet - 4.26

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.

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.

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

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.
