In 2009 we got two extremely long (what doesn't necessarily mean great) epics by two famous and popular bands. So pick your option! I definitely prefer Whirlwind in this pair and unfortunately find last PT studio effort rather empty, heartless and unspiring, especially compared with their last great albums. |

Both good/great albums, but I don't consider them as one epic; not at all. What Steven Wilson was trying to say when he described their album like that was that it's a concept album (both lyrically and musically). The longest epic I've heard from 2009 was that from Big Big Train's album (over 20 minutes). |

The Incident. Whirlwind is about nothing. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

I like them both, but in some ways The Incident is a bit more intriguing, so it get's my vote this time. The Whirlwind could do with about 15 minutes of editing. ------------- Progfan1958 "Peace to you all" "La paix est avec vous" "Pax vobiscum" "Al salaam a'alaykum" "Vrede zij met u allen" "Shalom aleichem" |
