Obviously I hope people will stick around for the rest of this, especially the middle topic, but Pineapple Thief leads things off:

Nick, your "I lose interest after 2-3 songs" line (slight paraphrasing) sums up this band in a nutshell for me. Even if I listen to a few songs in a row that I really like, I quickly find that I need something else.  This band just fails to hold my interest for very long. They are a good band to throw the good songs into a shuffle with tons of other bands.

I definitely have to be in the mood to listen to TPF...and that very rarely happens. I bought Your Wilderness a few months or so after release, but after an initial period of listening, I haven't listened to it for probably 18 months, and I haven't had the desire to purchase other albums. I feel very similar with Anathema and Riverside. Whereas bands like DT, Haken, Frost* and Big Big Train are far more regularly in my listening rotation.

This is what I always tell a couple friends about music: if I like something a lot, it will find its way into my CD player (or whatever my most convenient "music player" is :P).  And while most of the stuff I have heard by Pineapple Thief ranges from good to very good, it almost never finds its way into my CD player (outside of a few songs I like enough to turn on somewhat regularly).

The live album is great. I keep playing it constantly. I think TPT sounds better as a live outfit than in the studio.

TPT have confirmed Gavin Harrison is a full member of the band :metal
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Damn...this album is kicking my nuts. Gavin's playing is phenomenal and out of this world (check out White Mist..might be my song of the year). Production is superb. Might be my album of the year.

I definitely enjoyed it and you're right about White Mist being really good. I dunno, I just think that, for me, this reminds me of a Steven Wilson solo album, but not as good. They are quite similar artists but I just prefer SW. I'll give it a few more listens though as it'll likely grow on me.

Saw them on the 5th of March for the first time...

O.R.k were the support so we got two former Porcupine Tree members and two current King Crimson drummers on that night.

Both bands were fantastic and the concert just flew by....  great setlists with both new and old favorites

Met Pat Mastellotto after the show and got a little chat with him... very nice man

Have collected some photos and videos in an album on FB

Time to bump this thread since they started the US tour yesterday. Anyone attended last night's gig in Atlanta?

Seeing them Sunday night.  Very Happy that Randy McStine is opening for them.

I'm 50-50 on heading up to that.  McStine is someone I'd like to see again (I enjoyed the Flying Colors opening set).  Just juggling some family stuff that I may not be able to get out of, though.

saw them in Atlanta.  fantastic show.  i have been a TPT fan for over 10 years or so.  that being said, the new material with Gavin is really strong and comes across great live.

i highly recommend attending if they come near you.

PM me if you're going.  The queen and I are heading in early to watch the Pats game before heading to the venue.

Just made it back from the show in NYC. Fantastic. They sounded really good and their music comes off very well live.

Nice. 

SPOILERS

Looking at setlist.fm, it looks like they are playing the two songs by them I like the most, 3000 Days and Snowdrops, so that is cool.  Of the others, I like Alone at Sea and The Final Thing on My Mind both quite a bit as well, despite the latter having a blue balls ending. :lol :lol

I figured it might be work to get through a Pineapple Thief show :P, and I am unfamiliar with Randy McStine, but good to know!
