"Always found IA to be insanely overrated"
I didn't think that when I was younger, but I would have to agree these days
"This and TSMS is their creative peak imo"
For me, it's this and Signify

I haven’t given Signify that much attention, for me it was one of those in-one-ear-and-out-the-other experiences for me when listening to it as a whole. Might try again tonight.
Also TSMS has Phase 1 and 2 which makes it an instant win

IA is perfect and their best. Signify doesn’t get that amazing until track 5; starting there it’s pretty much the best album ever, but that’s the main reason it doesn’t quite make my top 3 PT albums, along with the 5 minute ambient soundscapes later in the track list.
This doesn’t make my top 3 PT albums because of some of the lyrics, the t/t having a meatheaded octave metal riff most of the time, and the wonky structure of Way Out of Here.

The call-back to Trains in Sentimental never fails to hype me up! Such a cool moment.

Loving Up the Downstair atm, very great and balanced album with cool sounds and rhythms. A bit of a shame C/C doesn't really have qualities like these.

Up the Downstair is nearly 30 years old with Wilson doing everything himself at age 25, so yeah it’ll sound pretty different.

Anesthetize is still the best thing this band has ever recorded. Move away Trains, this one is still coming in hot.

Anesthetize is second only to Arriving.

Anesthetize would probably be my #1, although with such a vast discog, it's hard to say for certain. Arriving would definitely be up there somewhere as well

I can think of like 30 other songs of PT that are better than Trains.

Sky Moves Sideways, Arriving, Anesthetize, Russia on Ice
almost all of their long songs are cooler than Trains

never thought i'd say this but i think the lyrics and themes of this album have aged really well
this has always been my favorite after i got over my in absentia bug. it stands out clearly to me as their magnum opus, at the very least the best modern PT album, but i always leaned a bit on it instrumentally to support that belief, finding enough cringe in the lyrics to feel complicated about it
now the more i come back to the concept of what's happening on the record it feels like the band's dark side of the moon, their perfect prog record that speaks on the experience of the human condition and social isolation in the context of its time
I get that Wilson's directness may not be for everybody, and I've often had my own issues with his storytelling style and execution, but the focus and cohesion of this album and the timeliness of the message feel like a level-up from the rest of his lyric writing and universe-building which is often narratively vague to a fault, if that is even a phrase. 5'd. thank you for coming to my ted talk
