The album that makes justice to PT name.

My short review is based off in the original version, not the remastered.

What to say about Up the Downstair, if not a classic prog masterpiece? I was introduced to PT with they�re first albums, in the beginning of 2000. I started to listen Lightbulb Sun, Signify, The Sky Move Sideways and of course, Up the Downstair. I could not help to find similarities to Pink Floyd sounds, but not in a negative way. Musical structures are fairly balanced and in fact, directly providing them in a way, a very unique sound if we check it out closer.

In short, is really sad that some people only discovered PT music through they�re latest albums, but has become a way to discover the pure gold behind them.

I just wanted that they continue down this path now and then, sometimes in the future.
