Bringing this thread back, since it's a great album. However, to those of you who didn't like it, I'd suggest giving their pre-Stupid Dream stuff a go. Up the Downstair and The Sky Moves Sideways are more psychedelic and progressive. |

Just try to ingnore the 'Victorian bondage' cover art. |

I liked in Absentia, I notice someone calls it "Pop Music" (at least I assume that's what you were talking about) That's a bit harsh I think, the lyrics are a bit dark, and the tracks too long to be pop. I like the ability Porcupine tree show to |

I think that "In Absentia" is an amazing album. Porcupine Tree is influenced by Pink Floyd, but what's the problem with that? " Heartattack in a lay by" is one of my favourtive songs ever!!! Dark, emotive... |

How is that album as a live album? I'm very picky about my live listenings |

Excellent cd. Blackest Eyes, Train, Sound of Musak and Prodigal are my favorites. Although the songs are short, they don't strike me as pop at all; way too diverse, interesting and spacey for pop. |

I absolutely love this album, especially the wonderfull 'Heartattack in a Lay-by'. But... I find the earlier albums more enjoyable and more experimental/modern than this one. I've listened more to Up the Downstair and The Sky moves sidew |

Great album from the full on Blackest Eyes through to the beautiful Collapse The Light.
I don't know if its a concious decision from Steven Wilson to have PT albums follow the same formula or not, but it seems to me from Stupid Dream through t |

My fathers a real PT fan, and i have listened most to Signify and In Absentia. I would NOT describe PT as pop! The only thing reminding me of pop by PT is shesmovedon (I still like it though). And Blackest eyes is just like travelling with a time mach
