I love the Bon Jovi thing that Steven Wilson uses on that song!

Listening to Stupid Dream for the first time.  Don't Hate Me is amazing.

While it is amazing, the chorus really takes away from the song IMO.

Listening to my favorite PT song right now, Fadeaway :)

Wow, I actually think the chorus is amazing.  Love the flute and sax too.

The chorus is one of the best on Stupid Dream. It's jarring and desperate, capturing the feeling incredibly well.

Agreed. I can understand why some might view it as whiny, but I find it very powerful.

Don't Hate Me. Also, he sounds like Sting during the chorus.

I don't know it comes off whiny to me, I get what he was getting at but its just off putting to me.

Ooh yeah, not one of my favorites but I don't hate it really.  I do get tired of it by the end of the song though.

My favourite is Baby Dream in Cellophane. Can't imagine anyone else agreeing though. Don't Hate Me is probably 2nd. Stupid Dream is just an album full of great verse/chorus melodies.

A few months ago, I was on vacation, and it was probably about midnight in the hotel room. I had all of the Porcupine Tree songs on shuffle, as I was drifting to sleep.

I hadn't heard all their songs, and fucking Space Transmission came on. Scared me shitless, because it was dark, and all I heard was whispering.

Not sure how related to the topic this is, but when I saw Agalloch live 3 days ago, they played pretty much only songs from The Incident before the show started. (at the venue)
Was pretty surprised, and I don't think there were many except for me who knew what music it was. :P

I'm not too crazy about the chorus in Don't hate me. Pure narcotic and Piano lessons, on the other hand, have awesome choruses.  :metal

I really don't see how the chorus ruins the song, IMO it's amazing, and at the moment, my fav song on the album.

The chorus is one of the best on Stupid Dream. It's jarring and desperate, capturing the feeling incredibly well.

This, the line 'Can I call you on the telephone, now and then' is a perfect line for someone who is lonely, desperate and just longing to want the other person to love them and acknowledge them again, it's brilliant.

Ranking of SD's songs by chorus:

A Smart Kid
Don't Hate Me
Slave Called Shiver
Pure Narcotic
Even Less
This is No Rehearsal
Piano Lessons (great song otherwise)
Stop Swimming (great song otherwise)
Stranger By The Minute (just annoyingly psychedelic for the point of being psychedelic...the one song I really don't get off SD)
