Compared to PT's early stuff, yes; but In Absentia is still a more than mild recovery towards "progressive tones", compared to the previous two albums.
Oh. And I hate Deadwing.

It's all right, man. Not everyone's perfect.

When it comes to Porcupine Tree, my favorite is Deadwing.
But the worst of that band is usually pretty good.

I always said my favorite was Deadwing too. Now I have no idea.
