5 stars "Deadwing" is the middle piece of the incredible 3-album roll that Porcupine Tree has been on - beginning with 2002's "In Absentia" and continuing with 2007's "Fear of a Blank Planet". I like Deadwing and In Absentia better than FOABP, although I often have trouble deciding which one I prefer between Deadwing and In Absentia.

This album is a bit heavier and darker than In Absentia, a bit more guitar-driven. You can see the progression the band is making towards the even heaver FOABP. Song for song, it may be a stronger release than "In Absentia", however I think most listeners would find that album a bit more accessible.

No need for a track-by-track analysis, others have done it better than I can. Many of my favorite PT songs are found on "Deadwing" - it is a must have for anyone who dares to think of themselves as prog fans.
