Even though I'm new to the Progressive Rock genre, I don't think it would be out of line to say that this is one of the best prog rock albums I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Just the title track itself is enough to set you for a loop. The starting riff followed by Gavin's aggressive drum line lets the listener's know that they are in for the journey. Fear of a Blank Planet also brings an interesting issue of how much advanced technology is affecting the young generation. It's a little insane how a human being can access anything he or she wants on the internet without leaving the room. Has things like this tamed curiosity and the instinct to explore in the younger generation? The lyrics address the stark reality with simplicity and straight-forwardness. My favorite track has to be Sleep Together. The synthesizers to start off the song bring about such a dark, outer space feeling and puts you in a trance you never want to get out of. This album can easily be a great starting point for any new Porcupine Tree or Prog Rock fan.Porcupine Tree Nil RecurringTool Undertow4.0 excellent3 (USA) Summercamp NightmareAFI The Art of DrowningAFI All Hallow's E.P.Aqualung Strange and BeautifulBiffy Clyro Blackened SkyBiffy Clyro PuzzleBlackfield BlackfieldBlackfield Blackfield IIChroma Key Dead Air For RadiosCult of Luna Eternal KingdomDaft Punk DiscoveryDanzig DanzigDeath Cab for Cutie PlansDon Caballero World Class Listening ProblemEast of the Wall Farmer's AlmanacSurprisingly intense and perfectly balanced instrumental post-rock... what a rarity.Elliott Smith Either/OrGlassjaw Worship and TributeIncubus (USA-CA) Morning ViewIncubus (USA-CA) S.C.I.E.N.C.E.Jamie Cullum Catching TalesJason Mraz Waiting For My Rocket To ComeJohn Mayer Heavier ThingsJohn Mayer ContinuumJustice †Minus the Bear Planet of IceMurder by Death Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them?Nine Inch Nails Year ZeroPorcupine Tree In AbsentiaPorcupine Tree DeadwingPorcupine Tree Lightbulb SunQueens of the Stone Age Songs for the DeafSoundgarden A-SidesThe Vines Winning Days3.5 great3 (USA) Wake PigAereogramme My Heart Has a Wish That You Would Not GoAFI A Fire InsideAFI Shut Your Mouth and Open Your EyesAFI Very Proud of YaAFI DecemberundergroundAmos Lee Amos LeeBlaqk Audio CexCellsBrand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside MeCitizen Cope The Clarence Greewood RecordingsFalling Up CrashingsHouse of Brothers DeadmanIncubus (USA-CA) Make YourselfIncubus (USA-CA) Light GrenadesInterpol Our Love to AdmireJamie Cullum TwentysomethingJeff Buckley GraceJohn Mayer Room for SquaresJohn Mayer Inside Wants OutMaroon 5 Songs About JanePlacebo PlaceboPlacebo MedsPorcupine Tree SignifyQueens of the Stone Age Queens of the Stone AgeQueens of the Stone Age Lullabies to ParalyzeQueens of the Stone Age Era VulgarisRise Against The Sufferer and the WitnessShangrala This Is How We CommunicateSon of Sam Songs from the EarthThe Academy Is... Almost HereAlmost Here is one of the few pop punk albums that melts my heart. It's simple and very well produced. The majority of the songs are fun and catchy. However, I found the chorus in songs like Classifieds and Down And Out to be a little weak leaving the song to feel incomplete. But Checkmarks makes up for the missing pieces. Overall, The Academy Is... definitely stand out over the many pop punk bands that sound horribly the same but I'd like to see them branch out even further away.The Format Dog ProblemsThe Police Reggatta de BlancThe Police Ghost in the MachineThe Rapture Pieces Of The People We LoveThe Vines Highly EvolvedThom Yorke The EraserWolfmother Wolfmother3.0 goodAFI Answer That and Stay FashionableAgent Sparks Red RoverAmos Lee Supply And DemandAnberlin CitiesArctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm NotAudioslave AudioslaveAudioslave Out of ExileCitizen Cope Citzen CopeColdplay X&YEagles Of Death Metal Death By SexyEvaline Postpartum Modesty.
