Album Rating: 3.5

Either In Absentia or Nil Recurring since it is made up of b-sides from FOABP if I remember correctly. I actually preferred Nil Recurring over FOABP.

Album Rating: 4.0

Porcupine Tree is just like Kamelot in how they have never made a bad album. Anything they make is awesome.

Album Rating: 4.0

naah Kamelot have a few pretty average albums.

Album Rating: 4.5

when i discovered porcupine tree this summer, they immediately vaulted to one of my favorite bands. that ascension was completely fueled by this album. I acquired one of the dvd-a's of the album (mixed in true 5.1 surround sound) and it's incredible. the drumming in anesthetize constantly revolves around you, and hearing wilson's voice in front of you and all of his vocal layerings behind you is euphoric. i apologize for sounding like a fanboy, but this is just one of those albums for me i guess.

yeah you discovered Gavin Harrison is a really good drummer too, it happens

This album is amazing, but In Absentia is still my favourite by PT.

way better than In Absentia.

ok, not way better, but better it is.

Album Rating: 3.5

in absentia is better in almost every way. this is just pretentious and not even as good as the B sides (nil recurring)

Album Rating: 4.0

Nah. I don't agree.

In Absentia is pretty dull

Album Rating: 4.5

Dull's a bit strong. I felt it was more of an acquired taste than FoaBP wa, it starts very dramatically with some big tracks, then mellows out very quickly. Tracks like Heartattack in a Layby take some getting used to, but personally I like them. Collapse the Light into Earth is just beautiful.

Album Rating: 4.5

collapse the light into earth is beyond beautiful

i still prefer this album though

Album Rating: 3.0

Anesthise is great but the rest of the album is a little bit of a let down.

Album Rating: 1.0

Listened to this the other day and it's still pretty sweet. Lyrics are pretty ridiculous and overdramatic though.

Album Rating: 4.0

I wouldn't say they're ridiculous, they're just exaggerated but they fit the technophobic vibe of the album.

Album Rating: 4.5

Very exaggerated, but doesn't take much away from the album.

Album Rating: 4.0

not exaggerated, just shitty. album still rules though.
