Yeah, it's no surprise that it didn't make it too much further but I do like it.

Not bad, but I see why it didn't make the cut for either IA or Deadwing.

To promote his new twitter page Steven just posted a previously unreleased song from around the IA/Deadwing era.

Only a compressed audio file?!?!?!?! This is unacceptable!!!!

I'm listening to their first 3 albums now. I've only heard The Sky Moves Sideways once, and haven't heard the other two.


What is the worst PT song?

For DT, it's the usual "You Not Me"

Worst PT songs?

For me, it's either Always Never or Sleep of No Dreaming. Or anything else from Signify. Yes I went there.

That's tough. Open Car has really annoying verses, but great everything else. Drawing the Line has a really annoying chorus, but great everything else. Feel So Low has some really terrible lyrics and boring verses, but I like the chorus and guitar. There are no PT songs I really dislike, but I guess those are my 3 least favourite.

EDIT: God dammit H those are all fantastic.

EDIT2: God dammit Bizkit that song is catchy as fuck and I love it.

Jupiter Island is bad too. All of PT's bad songs are pre-Stupid Dream. But I can't think of anything less that average since Stupid Dream.

Deadwing - Glass Arm Shattering, Mellotron Scratch, Arriving Somewhere But Not Here

interestingly enough, the first PT album I heard was Deadwing and I always thought it was somewhat lackluster until about a month and a half ago when everything just clicked. it's now my third favorite by them

It's really hard to choose a favorite from that album, since all the songs are so consistently good.

I got Sky Moves Sideways and Stupid Dream (both reissues) this week so now I have all the PT albums except for the debut. Stupid Dream was pretty good upon first listen, but SMS... holy crap - this album is totally amazing (apart from the boring Moonloop)! :o

My favorites from each album ATM:
UTD: Fadeaway
SMS: Sky Moves Sideways (Phase 1 or both phases)
Signify: Sleep of No Dreaming
SD: haven't listened enough yet but Slave Called Shiver stood out
LBS: Hatesong
IA: many songs are great, maybe Gravity Eyelids or Strip the Soul
DW: Arriving Somewhere
FOAB: Anesthetize (my #1 PT song)
Incident: The Blind House

EDIT: forgot Signify

Well I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon.  Favorites from each album:

OTSOL:  It Will Rain For a Thousand Years
UTD:  Fadeaway
TSMS:  Dislocated Day or either phase of The Sky Moves Sideways (yeah, that's like saying my favorite song is 75% of the album, I know)
Signify:  probably Idiot Prayer
SD:  Stop Swimming
LS:  Russia on Ice (or maybe Rest Will Flow)
IA:  Oh god, all of it...although Blackest Eyes, Prodigal and Heartattack are frontrunners
Deadwing:  Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, hands down
FOABP:  ALL OF IT...but seriously, Sleep Together
Incident:  Drive the Hearse, with Time Flies hot on its heels

That was very difficult.

Lightbulb Sun:  Hatesong
In Absentia:  .3, Strip The Soul, Sound of Muzak
Deadwing:  Deadwing, Shesmovedon

You can skip everything except I Drive The Hearse (it must be pouring both outside and in your mind hole).

 :omg:
Aw shit man, I've been way off track; my opinion was all "Shit sucks, brohan" and I'm all "DOOD EYE NOSE THAT". I appreciate you letting me know!

 :angel: It (mostly) sucks. This coming from a man who'd suck off Steven Wilson just to say I did. I wouldn't even want a pat on the head or anything. TI was a boring, uninspired, dull, overly drawn-out experience. Every other album is glorious in its own right but for as many times as I've tried to get into TI, there's just as many times that I've said to myself that it just isn't for me (except for in extremely depressing circumstances in regards to I Drive The Hearse and the 2nd disc, though even then...kinda meh).

Agree to disagree. Or we can power up and do some Kamehamehas.
