Did anybody see this yet?  Good interview with GH.

Interesting interview! Gotta be honest though, I didn't know goth kids were into Porcupine Tree.  :lol

I've never even heard of that one, must be pretty rare. I have a lot of the demos and stuff digitally, but none of them in hardcopies.

The NR tracks are on the Fear 5.1 DVD, so I saw no reason to buy NR, although being a completionist, I'll probably pick it up at some point.

Is it the right album if I'm trying to get into them?  Not really feeling it at the moment.  I didn't mind FoaBP, but it didn't blow me away or anything.

Meh, don't think it is. Most people would probably recommend In Absentia. I'd go for either that or Lightbulb Sun. The Incident seems to be a more love/hate album whilst these two are usually loved.

Okay.  I'm gonna get In Absentia on iTunes and listen to it on my iPod.  Steven Wilson will love that.

Because he loves how this generation experiences music and shuffle is a big part of that.

Nice collection Quadrochosis, even though mine is slightly bigger. ;)
But i don't only collect PT-stuff, i'm very much into the side-projects and the solo-projects also, so if i ever upload pictures it would most likely be a "PT + related stuff".
From what i saw; releases i have with PT that you didn't mention in your post:
*Nil Recurring
*Star's Die (the delerium years)
*Live at Rockapalast DVD
*Arriving Somewhere DVD
*Anesthetize DVD

though you have We Lost the Skyline (which i don't), which makes me a bit  :sadpanda:

Ahh, totally forgot about the DVDs! I have Anesthetize and Arriving Somewhere..., but not Rockapalast. As far as the other two.. well, you have me beat there, haha. :tup

This is the way to go SneakyBlueberry.  BTW, the Incident is their third best album, and I Drive the Hearse is the best part.

The Incident is great, but not better then: Signify, FOABP, Up the Downstair, Deadwang and Lightbulb Sun.  ;)

Don't know UtD yet, but I can safely say it's imo much better than the others, except FOABP, where the difference is really inches. It's probably the most amazing combination of two albums in a row any band has ever released, and you've got competition like SFAM/Six Degrees or The Perfect Element/Remedy Lane.

The best one-two punch in the Porcupine Tree discography is Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun, no question.

I'd agree with Darkes here completely. LBS is my favourite PT album, and Deadwing is amazing, but FOABP and The Incident are probably #2 and #3 in my rankings, and to have that in a row is astonishing. Although obviously the best one-two punch ever is Aenima and Lateralus.
