Listening diary 21st January, 2021: Porcupine Tree - XM (progressive rock, 2003)

Of all the (far too many) live albums Porcupine Tree did (and are still doing, thanks to their new bandcamp), this is probably one of the most pointless. It's not even a live album, but a live-in-studio performance, with material almost all from one album. It's almost the definition of a fan club release, but I still absolutely adore this material, so I still enjoy it. I will say that I love the version of "Gravity Eyelids" here in particular, with Steven's voice being a bit more vulnerable. But on the other end, they've never done "Slave Called Shiver" well on a live recording - it just doesn't work without the robot voice.

7.3 (2nd listen)
