Porcupine Tree - Lazarus

For a single this one is perfect. The a-side of this disc is the beautiful ballad Lazarus which is taken from the "Deadwing" album. It's a lovely song with nice pianos.

The b-sides are both non-album tracks (not on the retail version of "Deadwing" that is): So-called Friend is a good -and quite heavy- rock song with nice vocals. Half-Light was first supposed to be the ending of the "Deadwing" album, but didn't make it on the album (replaced by the also amazing Glass Arm Shattering). Although this is a nice mellow (and very atmospheric!) track, this is not as good as the final ending song of "Deadwing". I'm glad they left it to become a b-side, since I think it wouldn't fit as good on the "Deadwing" album as Glass Arm Shattering did.
