I think Layby is one of the better songs on In Absentia, but I know some people rank it much higher.
Yeah, its probably my 3rd favourite.

I never understood the love for layby, it's such a forgettable track

I kind of agree here, hence why I ranked it last on IA. It's good, I think.. but I just don't understand all the praise. Then again, I have .3 at the top of IA.

I didn't like it at first. It sort of blends in with the other songs, and due to it's length, it's easy for it to miss your attention.

Now it's one of my favorites. Top 3, probably.

I absolutely love Layby, but it took me a long time to love it as well. One day it just clicked.

Heard PT on the radio for the first time ever yesterday. Fucking weird, man.

Any news related stuff come out? Or is it just all solo stuff/Storm Corrosion with SW at the moment?

Well, unless something changed we have the PT live (Chicago and RAH was it?) coming out later this year. Otherwise SW will probably be busy mixing his solo show in Mexico which was recorded, and also making SW3.

And possibly BF4 perhaps?

Well, SW already recorded parts for BF4 back in March or so, around the same time it was revealed that Vinny from Anathema would sing on the album. Apart from perhaps mixing the album in the end, I don't think he will be involved much more, since he has made it clear that it will be primarily Aviv's project.
I believe he will sing on one song, and then backing vocals on a few others.

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".


HAIAL, is the perfect song that paints a picture. I can see the person driving, and feel the sadness in the situation.

Opposite for me. While Steven's touch was important for the overall sound, Aviv wrote the best stuff IMO.

Regardlesss, SW has still fronted most of BF. I like aviv as a support vocallist, but it wouldn't feel like a Blackfield record without Steven predominantly on vocals to me. Hopefully he'll still sing on a few.

My new favourite thing right now is to go to bed at about 830pm with my epic playlist of sad and mostly PT songs (Collapse the Light into Earth, Fadeaway, Stop Swimming, A Smart Kid, The Joke's On You, Half-Light, Untitled, Cure for Optimism, shesmovedon, Russia on Ice, Feel So Low, Heartattack in a Layby, Sentimental), turn the lights out, snuggle into my duvet and close my eyes and drift off listening to it, I love that half awake/half asleep period where you're still not quite asleep, but you're so relaxed and close yet the melodies flow through you, I feel like it recharges me for the next day more than actual sleep ever could. Just so awesome.

If PT comes back after Steven's 3rd album and tour and create a new masterpiece I will be more than okay with waiting the four or five years.  I mean, even though PT haven't been active since the Incident tour, I haven't really felt like I NEED new PT music.  Blackfield and Grace for Drowning have helped tide me over (GfD moreseo than BF).

Agreed. I see it playing out like this...

Summer 2012 - SW Records his 3rd solo album
Fall 2012 - SW mixes the album
Winter 2012 - SW releases 3rd solo album
Spring 2013 - SW Tours with his band on said album
Summer 2013 - SW reconvenes with PT to begin writing
Fall 2013 - PT begin recording their 11th studio album
Winter 2013 - SW mixes the album
Spring 2014 - PT release their 11th studio album
Summer 2014 - PT Tours their 11th studio album

And this is a best-case-scenario...which makes their 11th studio album release date almost 5 whole years after The Incident. I mean, five years between albums isn't TOO bad, is it? Tool, Rush, The Flower Kings...they've released albums with 5-year gaps (though the latter only recently due to the band going on a break)...and they're pretty fantastic bands.

I think we can expect some greatness from PT after the five-year wait...

I think it would be cool if for PT's next album Steven lets the guys bring in a lot of their own material. That way, it will sound very different and unique.

He is mixing the Steven Wilson live DVD/Blu-ray and I'm guessing he is also working on the Porcupine Tree "Live" 2CD/DVD. Those will both be released later this year and his 3rd solo album is planned to be released in the Spring of '13.
I can't wait for the new solo album but also can't wait until PT gets back together to record and tour afterwards. I still haven't seen him or PT live yet. I WILL see both the next time they tour, I must!

Spring 2013, eh? Well, I suppose that means we won't see PT11 until Summer or Fall of 2014, then, which would, at the latest, place it exactly 5 years after their last album.

I'd much prefer Steven just do whatever he feels inspired to do. If he goes in to write a PT album when what he really whats to do is his solo project then the PT album has a pretty good chance of being shit.
