So sorry if this has been brought up before, but Porcupine Tree's new song "Time Flies" from their upcoming album "The Incident" has been released: http://porcupinetree.bandcamp.com/track/time-flies-edit This sounds scarily similar to ''Dogs'' by pink Floyd. Even some of the lyrics are the the same.  Erm . . . discuss!!! |

The chorus sounds more like the outro to "Sheep" to me, but it's a very good songs and only sounds slightly familiar. The lyrics in particular seem to have shed some teenage angst.

Hmmm ... not a bad track. Lyrics remind me of all the angst portrayed in FOABP. This album could be a direct follow-up to FOABP. -------------

That was pretty bad. I mean the drum work was nice, but I can't say I liked anything about it.

Yeah, the chorus is from 'Sheep', and the verses are from 'Dogs'. 'And after a while . . . ' 'You've got to . . . ' to me seem like clear rip-offs lyrically, as well as musically. PT is turning into DT |

Oh, I'm sorry, am I late for something? I didn't realize I couldn't just have an honest opinion of a musical piece without being accuse of being a bandwagon jumper. As to what I'm accusing; absolutely. I think it's obvious that this is an inspiration-less song ripped straight off of Waters and Gilmours' backs. Wilson hasn't done something this blatant since 'Sky Moves Sideways'. I'm a huge Porcupine Tree fan, and I care about the band's originality. I'm not just trying to slam them without cause. I will still by the album and all; I just hope the rest of the tracks are much more unique. |

I remember when I first heard the medley back in the original album thread, Time Flies sounded very Animals era Floyd. This isn't really a bad thing by any means, but it it obviously the overriding influence in the track. Oh yeah, and PT have been considered Floyd clones before. (UTD, TSMS, Signify etc)

Again, why do people think this is news to me? I'm very well aware of the Floyd comparisons, I've been here a while. I'm just pointing out the obvious in this particular track's case. Porcupine Tree hasn't sounded like Pink Floyd in years, and for them to go back to that place again seems kind of regressive. That's all I'm pointing out. |

I know this is not news to you, I was simply stating the point. I agree that the comparison is obvious, it's pretty hard not to notice. I'm not so sure that it is a regression for PT to sound like PF, however I would have thought that if PT were to release another blatant TSMS, then sure. But I still beleive that it is too early to tell just from the single. |

Date Posted: August 05 2009 at 01:31
No, I'm still hopeful. Remember how we were both freaking out at the demo?  So I'm definately still looking forward to this. I even like this song fine, but I just got sad when I heard the utter lack of individuality.  I'm sure the rest of the album will be better, though. I haven't known PT to sound like that for an entire album's length. And let's not forget the main suite, which I'm sure will be full of surprises.  Sorry if I came off as a bit grouchy.

As a massive PT fan(boy) myself, I know what you mean, but I just feel that there are worse things that Steven Wilson could have done that take one of the best prog albums of all time (< that comment now protected by anti-flame suit) and base it for the single for his next album. Anyway, it's still a charming song. |

I've listened to it a few times more and I am liking it better than I did initially. And yes, "Animals" is one of the greatest Prog albums of all time in my book as well. p.s. Besides, I'm sure I have and will continue to 'rip-off' a few of my favorite artists as well in my day. I'm not all that concerned about it. |

I don't think The Sky Moves Sideways is copying anything from Floyd whatsoever, nor do I think so for Time Flies. It's incidental that things sound somewhat similar. (Time Flies sounds nothing like Dogs to me by the way, neither in the lyrics or music, and only somewhat reminds me of Sheep but the similarity is nothing but incidental). I've always been irritated by comparisons to Floyd, mainly because I think The Sky Moves Sideways and Up the Downstair have all the spacey elements of classic Floyd, but do everything better to my ears. Nothing Pink Floyd ever did as an album pleases me as much as The Sky Moves Sideways. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

Well, if you yourself can't hear the similarities much, then of course I see where you're coming from. I just wanted to make sure that you were aware that I wasn't simply comparing them to Floyd because everybody else does it; I truly do believe this is a Dogs/Sheep clone. In all actuality, there was only one other instance when this closeness between the two bands was as obvious, and that was "The Sky Moves Sideways". Even the track layout mimics 'Wish You Were Here'. But on the whole, I have never considered PT a PF 'clone' before, so this is actually a first for me. I don't WANT them to be a clone of anybody else, but it's just how I honestly feel about this track. In the end, though, it's not that big of a deal. I'm still going to buy the album and enjoy it, but I do hope the other tracks on the album sound more original. |

I regard Animals as being right up there as Floyd's greatest moments. I also love Wilson & PT, but the comparisons to Animals are so obvious they barely need repeating by me. Having said that, listening to it now, I'm really enjoying it.

I dont think one song can excite or disappoint me. I need the whole package...  .
PT has PF influence, no question but its not clone, and neither a rip-off. At the same time this song is a bit un PT without much twists. But without the whole CD its not a fair judgement yet. I am sure surprises are waiting...

Remember everyone, Time Flies is listed on the LP at over 10 minutes (If I'm correct) and the single is the 5 minute radio edit. Thus, there is 5 minutes of the song we don't hear... the section not appropriate for the single perhaps? Anyway, I'll judge the full album when I get it. |

I doubt I'll ever grow to like it. As soon as I heard the "Dogs" guitar and the cheesey lyrics based on song titles - an idea blatantly taken from Barclay James Harvest's "Titles" on Time Honoured Ghosts", and the vocals which sound like BJH's, I didn't want to hear any more.
I don't know why, I just felt really annoyed to hear a song with other people's ideas so starkly presented - like that awful Madonna song that starts with the ABBA sample, or Vanilla Ice using the Queen/Bowie sample.
I'll give the album a listen, as it is so keenly anticipated - but I've always been disappointed with PTs material generally. What I've heard is too poppy and not at all Prog. ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

The new single from the new Porcupine Tree album? My opinion: Meh. Sounds a lot like "Stars Die". But, I think all Porcupine Tree records are worth checking out. On the first impression, it sounds like Mr. Wilson knocked this one off in his sleep.

Actually, PT's fanbase, being much smaller than that of PF, and composed mostly of people like us who can afford a computer, is richer than that of PF, even though because of their age probably their fans already have better jobs... it's really a death match. Maybe PF is the rich man's PT, or PT the middle-class man's PF, or maybe there's socialism in their music after all. -------------

Exactly. JROCHA, with all respect . . . you should cool down a bit. If you disagree with those of us who think the song is PF carbon copy, go ahead and disagree, but saying things like, "Everyone should shut up" is very unbecoming of you, my good man. I have never complained about an artist being influenced by another artist, but when they mimic an already existing song almost exactly, it bothers me. It bothers me because I know Steve Wilson can do better than this, and it also bothers me because I was looking forward to this record before hearing this track, and now based on what I hear, it seems to be quite unoriginal. I am a Porcupine Tree fan. One of the biggest fans, in my opinion. I'm not just cutting down a band I didn't like in the first place; I'm fretting over a band I love taking the easy road and not composing from scratch. I'm sorry if that upsets you, but I'm just being honest, and I would never tell you to "shut up" for simply having opinion that differs from mine. |

If a riff in a song sounds slightly similar (and it is nothing more than slightly if anything...the tempo, groove, time signature, and rhythm in Dogs is entirely different to the riff in Time Flies, which is why I didn't make the connection...you have to reach pretty far to find it). But there is a similar tempo and closer strumming to the chorus of Time Flies to that of Sheep, and I noticed that pretty early on listening to it. I see no connection in the lyrics to Dogs, nor in the vocal melody. Overall, I suppose it could be subliminally inspired by Sheep, but I think the two songs are wildly different. You could say that by 90% of all pop music now, though. They don't sound similar enough to taint the song. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

I don't know what inspired this track.

I find the single somewhat dissapointing. It really does sound like PF's Dogs, which I don't think is a bad thing, as I am a huge Floyd fan. I do think that the song lacks power though. I find it kind of uninteresting at some times. This might be caused because I had some very high expectations on the single after hearing the medley of the whole album. -------------

As I stated already, Sky Moves Sideways is the only other time PT has sounded blatantly like PF, but even then, it was only because Wilson was adopting a similar playing style to Gilmour, and that was where the similarities ended. With this track, the chords are almost exactly the same, with only a few tweaks here and there to give the song some sense of identity. It therefore is the first time PT have actually succeeded in sounding exactly lie Pink Floyd. My opinion. I really wish people would overview what I type before bringing up stuff I've already addressed. It saves me from repeating myself, after all. |

Fitted into the music? how they are sung? Nothing changes the fact that they are sentance fragments. If they fit into the sentance, they fit. Nothing can be said to warrant 'copy cat' lyrics from those sentance fragments. Unless they are in the same context, and in the same structure as said name song. I'm honestly sick of accusations of plajurism or simliarization of lyrics/melodies. Steve Wilson is damn original artist, and i don't think a borrowing of a sentance fragment or two, doesn't warrant an accusation. Have a wonderful night fellas. -------------

That's very funny. Truly. The lyrics on their own are not enough evidence obviously, but again, as I already stated earlier (I seem to be repeating that sentence a lot lately.  ), the lyrics a long with the chords are clearly both from the Animals record. I was making a very astute observation, that's all. If that makes me 'foolish' in your eyes, well frankly that doesn't bother me one bit.Just because you yourself can't grasp what I'm talking about doesn't make my opinion any less relevant or accurate than your own, and to be honest, I'm getting quite fed up with Steve Wilson worshipers taking such offense at my statements. You react with hostility and name-calling as if what I said was negative. I said nothing of the sort. I never meant my observations to be perceived as criticism. I was merely observing that this song takes many cues from a Pink Floyd piece. How exactly is that 'bad'? I swear, I'm beginning to think PT fans are just as bad as Twilight readers when it comes to their tolerance for others' viewpoints. Now, had I maliciously attacked Wilson and his band by calling them a bunch of inspireless t**sers or something of the like, I could see where your name calling and ranting would be justified, but because I say the combination of music and lyrics are ripping off another song (which by the way is a great song!), you see fit to resort to this type of behavior? Maybe you think by me saying PT 'ripped-off' Pink Floyd, that I am in fact calling the four piece a literal 'rip-off'. But let me assure you; I have nothing but love for Porcupine Tree and their music, and I have just as much of a right to criticize it (positively or negatively) as you do. Would you not agree?
. . . and that is exactly the case with this track. |

Actually, I suspect that some on this thread - including me - just don't agree with you. We understand you, you've made yourself perfectly clear on a number of occasions, but we don't agree. I'm looking forward to a healthy exchange of opinions once the album comes out :) |

You honestly believe that Radioswim was merely saying that he 'just doesn't agree with me'? Calling a person a fool for not sharing their viewpoint on something as subjective as music is seems much more like an attempt to start a fight than a simple disagreement. |
