Following up on a masterpiece like "Fear of a Blank Planet" was not an easy task!

And for this, Porcupine Tree decided to create concept album much more varied in terms of tessituras and environments, but also with a more irregular compositional quality, which made it a great disappointment for many of us.

The incredible hook and stunning songs of "Deadwing" and "Fear of a Blank Plantet" were gone! What the hell?

However, the production is still spectacular, and above all, Gavin Harrison's work on drums is absolutely amazing again. For that alone, "The Incident" is already worth listening to, despite being one of Porcupine Tree's weakest efforts.

Hopefully the next "Closure/Continuation" will be able to bring us back the best years of the band!

Best Tracks: The Blind House (great riff, evocative chorus and a great and furious mellotron towards the end), Time Flies (the star song of the album, and also the longest), Octane Twisted (great instrumental work, especially on the drums) and Remember Me Lover (the only song that can compete in terms of quality with their previous album)

My Rating: ***
