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 ------------- Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen |

| 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. ------------- Bigger on the inside. |

In Absentia, Fear is good album but not on the level of IA. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

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.  ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

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. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

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. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |
