Deadwing = sex.

Just putting that out there.

Deadwing is just one of those PT albums that has some amazing songs (Mellotron Scratch, Glass Arm Shattering) and some really forgettable ones (Halo, Lazarus)

wtf is wrong with you, how is Lazarus a forgettable song?

The only PT album I consider to be perfect all the way through is FOABP, I love all the 6 songs equally. The other albums, as fantastic as they are, all have a few songs that are kinda "meh".

Deadwing is a pretty great album, but far from perfect, I'd rate it 4/5. I'm not a huge fan of Halo, Open Car and Glass Arm Shattering.

This! But Stupid Dream, The Incident, Signify, In Absentia, Fear of a Blank Planet and The Sky Moves Sideways are all awesome as well and not far behind.  This band simply has way too much awesome music. :hefdaddy :hefdaddy

What about Up the Downstair? IMO that one is better than The Sky Moves Sideways for sure, and a few of the latter albums as well.

Deadwing has been my favorite from the start, but I'll have to agree with Lightbulb sun being in the top 2, it grew on me immensely this summer. Stupid dream, In absentia and Fear of a blank planet are right behind, although I'm not sure in what order.

Linton Samuel Dawson is so awesome when I first listened to OTSOL I coudn't stop listening to it on repeat for at least hour and I still think it's one of the most underrated PT songs ever. The problem is that people are probably trying to take it seriously which doesn't make any sense.

FOABP is probably the height of SW's creativity and surround mixing skills with PT. both IA and DW suffer from his 'slowly discovering what works best' phase, while those after are significantly better. LBS also works fairly well in it, and The Incident probably sounds better than the stereo mix.

I have all of the PT albums in 5.1, and I would agree that FOABP is the best in surround sound. All of them are highly recommended but I would start with FOABP.

Edit: Here is a link to where you can purchase the DVD-A for FOABP. https://www.burningshed.com/store/porcupinetree/product/169/639/                               I remember when I first got this..... :hefdaddy

The thing about PT, unlike most bands is I can actually give most of their albums perfect scores.

I used to think that PT had a lot of perfect albums, but since I've discovered more and more music the last 2 years or so, that has kinda faded a bit. Like I said, I think FOABP is perfect, then PT has quite a few albums I would rank 4.5 or 4 out of 5, so the discography is still pretty darn solid, even though I think there are bands with better discographies.

Up the Downstair is really good, too, but I just don't think it's as awesome as every studio album they have done since.

FINALLY, some news about this band.   New live double CD:

https://www.porcupinetree.com/news.cfm


10/14/2012

Octane Twisted live double CD

"Octane Twisted" the new double CD live album including bonus DVD will be released on Kscope Records on November 19th. A regular 2 cd only version will be available at a later date.


CD 1 comprises the whole of "The Incident" recorded at the Riviera, Chicago 2010.
CD 2 track listing is as follows - with tracks 5 to 7 recorded at the Royal Albert Hall.

1. Hatesong (9.57)
2. Russia on Ice / The Pills I'm Taking (15.02)
3. Stars Die (5.57)
4. Bonnie the Cat (6.11)
5. Even Less (14.28)
6. Dislocated Day (7.05)
7. Arriving Somewhere But Not Here (12.59)

The bonus DVD, which is a 6 camera shoot production, was never intended to be a standalone DVD release but nicely documents the live performance of "The Incident" in front of a typically lively Chicago audience.

Not too excited about TI live, but hey, maybe it'll change my perspective on the album. I haven't so much as heard a clip of the album since it first came out so my view might be changed by a live setting, playing the entirety. Especially what with BTBAM's Parallax II opening me up to concept albums once again. But I'm REALLY excited for those other songs! That's a fucking beautiful setlist. I'm definitely getting this just for that alone. Oh, and the artwork and yadda yadda.

Here's I Drive The Hearse from the bonus disc of the new live album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n9JgUizq8M#

Seems quite nice, though I'm not sure if the movie-like aspect ratio is a very good idea but it certainly gives it a certain atmosphere. And the recording sounds awesome, as expected.

Man, it's great to read an interview from someone other than Steven. Richard seems to be a very intelligent guy, he's extremely opinionated and honest. And also, somehow I guessed that he wasn't too crazy about Shallow.

Well, Shallow has always kinda stood out as one of the lesser PT songs from the newer albums. Personally I don't dislike it, but it's not awesome or anything.

i'm surprised anyone liked "Shallow" enough to put it on the record. i'm sure the decision was fuelled by the record company and an interest in breaking into the mainstream (hence the song ending up on Xboxes everywhere).
