Necrotica: Porcupine Tree Ranked

Necrotica 02.26.13	\P/
sinisterplague 02.26.13	I loved In Absentia at first listen, then it kind of grew off me. It's a bit sterile. Hoping to get into their other stuff.
SaneTBP 02.26.13	1 is kinda boring for me, 4 is the best
LloydNewgreen 02.26.13	1 is 1 even though I've only heard post-2000 PT nothing can be better than that it's so damn good
Necrotica 02.26.13	Yeah, Deadwing is great too
KjSwantko 02.26.13	80% of the PT stuff bores me to death.
CK 02.26.13	7 wtf man
Necrotica 02.26.13	Yeah, it's one of those albums like Symbolic where, no matter how much I try to get into it, it just doesn't happen :/ I like it, but not as much as I probably should
Cipieron 02.26.13	things are generally where they should be, kudos there
AtomicWaste 02.26.13	Fear of a Blank Planet is such a good album.
DamnVanne 02.26.13	This is a pretty unique ranking. Glad to see Signify getting more love than it usually gets
GnarlyShillelagh 02.26.13	7 seems low
GnarlyShillelagh 02.26.13	so does 3 actually
Necrotica 02.26.13	@DamnVanne Yeah, Signify's really underrated in my opinion. I love Sever and Every Home is Wired
zxlkho 02.26.13	In Absentia Fear of a Blank Planet Lightbulb Sun Deadwing Stupid Dream Signify The Incident The Sky Moves Sideways Up the Downstair On the Sunday of lol
zxlkho 02.26.13	I am the resident PT expert so
DamnVanne 02.26.13	Sever is really good, but I think Waiting Phase Two is quickly becoming my favorite
EverythingEvil2113 02.26.13	7 is far too low friend, but swell list all the same.
Necrotica 02.26.13	Who else thinks that PT should be included in Metal Archives for the second half of their career?
iSkane 02.26.13	1,3,4,7,2,5,6,9,8,10
JamieTwort 02.26.13	If you turned this list upside down it would be closer to my ranking. Early PT >
tiesthatbind 02.26.13	3,1,4,7,2,5,8,9,6,10
Necrotica 02.26.13	I'll never understand why people dislike The Incident so much. It's not one of their best, but I'd still give it a 4/5
zxlkho 02.26.13	Time Flies is one of their best songs, but the rest of the album really drags (except I Drive the Hearse)
Necrotica 02.26.13	"I am the resident PT expert so" I'm right up there too; they were one of the first bands I ever listened to as a kid, and I've fanboyed to them since :P
DamnVanne 02.26.13	zx u can be expert too if u love I Drive the Hearse. I trust you
LloydNewgreen 02.26.13	I love The Incident, but I think they should have released the second disc separately as a follow up EP or something.
zxlkho 02.26.13	Bro I am listening to I Drive the Hearse at this very second no joke fuckin' love that shit
DamnVanne 02.26.13	solo is tops. A great way to close The Incident, which is super underrated imo
Necrotica 02.26.13	I'm listening to Sleep Together :P
DamnVanne 02.26.13	i just 5'd Incident, cuz i feel like it
zxlkho 02.26.13	The Incident is not that good overall. Tons of filler on it and I Drive the Hearse and Time Flies are really the only "great" tracks.
Madcreator 02.26.13	Stupid Dream is surely better than the Incident, at least?!
Necrotica 02.26.13	"I love The Incident, but I think they should have released the second disc separately as a follow up EP or something." I've always rated The Incident solely on the first disc. I see the second disc as a bonus, but not part of the album
zxlkho 02.26.13	Criminally underrated PT track: Mellotron Scratch.
Gee 02.26.13	The Incident is joint number one for me alongside foabp. I 5d it
Necrotica 02.26.13	@zxlkho: Hellyeah, and Way Out of Here
zxlkho 02.26.13	Stars Die, Buying New Soul, and Last Chance... are also among my favorites (and not as well known)
Necrotica 02.26.13	Feel So Low is one of my favorite underrated PT songs... so much emotion
DamnVanne 02.26.13	Blind House, Your Unpleasant Family, The Seance and especially Circle of Manias are great tracks too imo
Emyay 02.26.13	Criminally underrated PT track: Mellotron Scratch. [2] One of their best songs. That outro.
Emyay 02.26.13	Damn just saw you said Last Chance as well...I'm not too familiar with Stars Die and Buying New Soul but I'll have to check them out. i'd put Fear at 1 as well so I agree with the list although I think Stupid Dream > The Incident
Necrotica 02.26.13	Buying New Soul is AMAZING. That chorus gives me chills whenever I listen to it
Emyay 02.26.13	what album is it on?
MikeC26 02.26.13	Oh man, disagreed HARD on this...
NeroCorleone80 02.26.13	3,7,8,4,1,2,6,5,9,10
Necrotica 02.26.13	@Emyay: It's on the deluxe edition of Lightbulb Sun, as well as on the compilation album Recordings
scissorlocked 02.26.13	signify shits on almost every post-In Absentia record
Madcreator 02.26.13	Slave Called Shiver needs moar love.
tacos N stuff 02.26.13	7 is wayyy to low D:
Emyay 02.26.13	7 feels so low. sorry but i don't think i'll like anything pre stupid dream as much as i do the other stuff
KINGSTATICTHETHIRD 02.26.13	2 > 7 > 4 > the rest
JamieTwort 02.26.13	8 > 9 > 7 > the rest.
NapalmCrusader 02.26.13	7 should be higher
Necrotica 02.26.13	Yeah, I knew 7 would be the unpopular opinion. I still think it represented the rough transitional phase for the band until they did the alt rock thing better with Lightbulb Sun
DamnVanne 02.26.13	The moment where Steven sings "I'm not special like you!!" really brings the whole Stupid Dream album down. It's the only moment in the PT discography that makes me cringe
MikeC26 02.26.13	Open Car's lyrics are cheesy as all fuck too. Lyrics have never been SW's strong suite.
Necrotica 02.27.13	Gotta love that heavy riff on Open Car though, that always gets me pumped
Havey 03.01.13	7 8 and 9 are all way too low
JamieTwort 03.01.13	^This hard. Those 3 are their best.
Necrotica 03.01.13	I don't know, I still enjoy their heavier era more overall
MikeC26 03.01.13	The later stuff is easier to get into than the older stuff but the older stuff is better
someguest 03.01.13	Your top two are correct.
zxlkho 03.01.13	Nah, the middle stuff is the best. Stupid Dream through In Absentia.
Necrotica 03.06.13	I'm actually starting to like Stupid Dream more now
Firestarter 03.06.13	I don't understand the acclaim for FOABP. Apart from the mind blowing middle section of Anesthetise (Intro takes forever and the 6 min outro is mind numbing) the rest of the songs are just incredibly mediocre. I just don't get it...
Necrotica 03.08.13	The only thing about FOABP that I didn't like was the production, which sounds underwhelming and a bit too quiet for the band's music IMO. Songs-wise, though, i absolutely love the album from beginning to end. And besides, that intro to Anesthetize has an Alex Lifeson solo :D
Emyay 03.08.13	its laughable to me that people would prefer the early stuff to the post stupid dream era. its just different tastes though. like, us folks that like the newer stuff obviously have vastly different tastes from those that like the old stuff.
DamnVanne 03.08.13	There is nothing mediocre about the non-Anesthetize tracks on FOABP. Sleep Together, the title track, and Way Out of Here are all amazing IMO. The mood and instrumentation are near perfect. My Ashes is kind of bland to me, but I know folks who love that song most of all, so I have to give it credit for being appealing.
Necrotica 03.08.13	Yeah, I love My Ashes. To me, it's probably the first time Steven Wilson made legitly great lyrics for a PT ballad (with the exception of Lazarus, of course)
JamieTwort 03.08.13	"its laughable to me that people would prefer the early stuff to the post stupid dream era." Well I think the oposite so yeah different tastes I guess.
Emyay 03.08.13	Don't forget sentimental guys, another fave. Sleep together is probably my least favorite, although its not bad at all.
Necrotica 03.09.13	Sleep Together is weird as hell, but I still enjoy it
DamnVanne 03.09.13	I did. I forgot about Sentimental. That one rules, arguably harder than anything else on that album
demigod93 03.09.13	who cares this band sucks [24324]
DamnVanne 03.09.13	reported
