A new teaser is up with the date 1.11.21 listed (which is the LOGICAL way of saying November 1st, 2021), which I am guessing means an announcement of what is coming is happening this Monday.

Day Month Year.  :hat

A question just occurred to me. When saying it out loud, do the English say “the first of November” or “November 1st”? Americans obviously use the latter, which seems easier to me (less wordy) and in turn would led to why we number it the way we do.

Whoa, where did you find that picture?! Apparently I saw someone mention on FB that the info is "already out there brought to you 'by the letter H'", so somewhere online is the info about this album/project/release.

Any guesses on what C/C means?! Colin's Canned?

it could easily be the name of the song the clip is from, or the album title perhaps.

We say both. But written down it's always Day Month Year.

You and me both!

I have long held the position that I was fine with Porcupine Tree ending when it did over a decade ago, but I am thrilled that they are apparently coming back.  Bummer to see that Edwin is likely not a part of it, and it makes me wonder if they will get someone who hasn't worked with any of them yet to play bass, or if Wilson will get Nick Beggs from his solo band to slide on over and take that spot.  Based on that picture, I am guessing whoever does play bass will not become an official new member of the band.

I have zero issues with Beggs taking the part.


I didn't even discover this band till after they had stopped playing, and was resigned to never seeing them live. Seems I may have to change that.

It's Steven's career and he is allowed to do whatever he wants with it, but I would rather follow the solo path rather than a Porcupine Tree reunion without one of the members. Maybe I should hear the album before "passing judgement."

I wonder what is going on with Colin. Do they have any beef with each other? If not, what can Colin possibly have to do that is more important than joining PT? I can't think of anything he could do right now that would be more awesome for him than reuniting PT. SW brings hin awesome compositions and everyone contributes their magic to create music that only this band can create. Also, I can't imagine Colin doing anything more profitable than this.

It's been a decade since the band dissolved, I don't find it that surprising if he moved on and is unavailable. Would rather see him as a member of it than missing out on it though.

I mean maybe he dosen' t wanna join a big band like PT and commit to touring if that's on the horizon. Maybe he actually have a good day job he enjoys and dosen't wanna leave that for something that may only last for one album cycle. There's no money in albums anymore especially in a band that hasn't released anything in 10 years. He most likely earn more doing his job.

Interview with Colin Edwin from earlier this year:

https://youtu.be/Q-4Hw8zC4Lg

Listen around 45:45 for about five minutes as he discusses when and why PT stopped over a decade ago.  My takeaway is that he has moved on and doesn't have any interest in playing with the other three anymore.

Your first part I can follow; not wanting to commit to touring. The second part, him earning more money, is not something I can follow from an artist's viewpoint. If making music is your main goal, money will probably come second to that. Even if you do have a good job, you can still have the need for making music. Money isn't everything in this world, though the world often makes you believe it is.

Wasn't the Incident 2009 ?

If there's a new album in 2022 it'll be 13 years like TOOL.

2022 will also be the band's 35th anniversary.

Except that Tool never actively disbanded.
I know that doesn't matter for the years in between albums, but Tool literally took 13 years for a new album, whereas Porcupine Tree had about 10 years off. In terms of productivity, that does matter.

And yes, while 'Porcupine Tree' started in 1987, it was not until years later that it actually became a band, rather than a one-man project.

Right, I think it was when touring on Up the Downstair in 1993 that the lineup that would remain until Maitland's departure came together.  10 studio albums in 18 years (1992-2009), and that is not even counting Recordings, the EPs and the tons of others non-album songs they did. To say that PT was a prolific band would be an understatement.  :tup :tup

Yeah PT isn't even remotely close to being compared to Tool. Tool were still touring and talking about new music, PT was essentially dead for a decade before being started up again.

Of course, i'm not saying he dosen't make music but rejoining a big band and go on tour is a big commitment and probably means he gotta quit his job. Since he probably has to choose job or PT he might choose the first to have a secure income. Money IS a big thing if you have a family for example or atleast a steady income.
Look i'm just guessing here so I don't know of course but I think he might have buildt a good life with a secure job and playing music in projects and smaller bands.

I'm with Kev that judging by that interview posted, Colin does sound kinda done with the band. The fact he hasn't listened to anything SW did after the band dissolved (or felt the need to) and just the way he spoke about the band made it sound like something in the past he was happy to be a part of and something that reached its conclusion.

Now the other, less important question is... If the tour, will Wesley come along?

I'd be interested to hear what backing vocals from both Beggs and Wesley would sound like :lol

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Well, if he is brought back, and is given solos to play live, the next solo he does a good job on will be his first.  He managed to single-handedly ruin the live version of Dark Matter on the Anesthetize live DVD by butchering the crap out of the first solo.

Surely, they can find another guitarist/singer who can presumably do a much better job.

I don't feel AS strongly about John Wesley as you (though I'm not a huge fan either) but this feels like the kind of situation where he would be brought back more for nostalgia and having been a part in the past rather than adding another level to it. :D

His guitar playing is inconsequential compared to his backing vox. He's a perfect fit there because he does SW's vocals from the album so well. I guess that Beggs guy will do alright, but I'm hoping they keep this as far removed from SW's solo stuff as possible.
