Anybody else hate SW's high vocal range? It always sounds so processed. SW is the best producer that I've heard but I can't stand how thin and inhuman his voice can get.

Sometimes it's good. Take the "snaps of life we had in the garden" (or whatever he says) in Unpleasant Family. That's perfect. But compare it to "droooooooown with mee"....it just isn't solid enough and sounds heavily modified in a bad way.

Okay now that makes more sense. I semi agree. Every now and then his highs sound sorta processed. But your example of Your Unpleasant Family is a perfect example of when it's beautiful.

Each time I listen to .3 I need to try incredibly hard to stay focused, I find it really uninteresting and bland. To see it as someone's favorite song on In Absentia is a shocker for me.

Srsly, Chloroform may be my favorite PT song. It's definitely at the top of IA and shut the fuck up it should have been on the album and even if it wasn't I'd put it there anyway because i got a pocket full of hawthornes.

Oh yeah and might as well:

(Chloroform)
Prodigal
Gravity Eyelids
Strip The Soul
.3
Heart Attack In A Layby
Lips Of Ashes
Wedding Nails
The Sound Of Muzak
(Drown With Me)
The Creator Has A Mastertape
Collapse The Light Into The Earth
Trains
Blackest Eyes

Why the hell isn't anyone ranking Strip The Soul? You're all poons, for realz. That song is the shiznit and I'd take it over Popeye's Chicken anyday. Well...I'd take a bludgeon to the balls over Popeye's fucking shit.

Chloroform and Drown with Me are both awesome (the latter being a borderline top 10 PT song, IMO), but I can't imagine either of them being on In Absentia, simply because that album flows so well and it is hard to imagine it any other way.  Even the least best songs like Wedding Nails, Strip the Soul and The Creater Has a Mastertape sound excellent within the context of the record. :tup :tup

Indeed, it would mess with the flow greatly. So, I cede and put them in brackets... Sigh... I hate brackets. But I'll do it for the sake of IA's flow. Period.

Gavin really, really reminds me of Robert Sean Leonard (Wilson from House; Dead Poets Society; Swing Kids). Like, every time I see Gavin I want to call him Wilson. Except not PT's Wilson. Dr. Wilson.

Chloroform is also one of my favorites. The drumming always reminded me of a softer version of Tool's "Reflection"

I wish Drown with me were a part of the album, it's been one of my favorites since I've seen it on Anesthetize DVD. I'd take it over Prodigal anytime, and something tells me the album would work if I made a playlist with Drown with me instead of Prodigal.

Prodigal is cool. I like how each time the chorus is played, a new vocal harmony is added.

Not only the best track on IA....but the greatest PT song of all time.  As much as I love all PT songs, this is the only song that is so breathtakingly gorgeous and fantastic, that I am compelled to *REPLAY* the song every time I hear it.   Very few times have I ever listened to IA all the way through without stopping to play HiaL twice. 

I'm really shocked that anyone could be a PT fan and not be stunned at the perfection of this song.  There's not a single song in PT's catalog that "paints a picture" of what's happening in the song better than HiaL.    I've never...EVER... heard a four and a half minute song say so much in so little time.   It's the only song under 7 minutes that I would classify as "an epic".

It's like being a huge PF fan and calling Breathe/Time "a throw away track"...

agreed with those reactions. "Heartattack" is definitely in my top 5. it's a highlight of Wilson's entire career, and nothing on Grace for Drowning touches it (even "Deform" and "No Part of Me!"), imo.

I think Layby is one of the better songs on In Absentia, but I know some people rank it much higher.
