4 stars I hate Porcupine Tree. Or should I say 'I hated Porcupine Tree until now'. I could never understand why their previous albums are so much anticipated. I cant't listen to In absentia, Deadwing or Signify. They bore me to death. But Fear of a blank planet is different. I must admit that it took me over from the first listening. The music is quite heavy, but not like Dream Theater, where all is about making as much noise as possible. And first of all this is very moody album. It's dark and I like it a lot. Also the orchestral parts (or how to call them) work great with the band's music. There are some nice solos and very good changes of tempo so it isn't boring at all. I waited for the new Rush album and it's a disappointment. I waited for new Marillion album and I'm disappointed even more. I didn't wait for Fear Of A Blank Planet and it's great. What an irony.
