FEAR OF A BLANK PLANET

This is the best PT album since In Absentia (IMO). It has all of elements necessary to be a masterpiece: excellent lyrics (very depressive in this case) with very dark atmospheres, like early King Crimson and Van der Graaf Generator, great melodies, heavy guitar riffs that recalls Deadwing album and the double bass drum gives a metallic power to their sound, all of this blended with mellow parts, where the synthesizers are in the first plane. Anesthetize is the best song and counts with a participation of Rush´s guitarist Alex Lifeson. The title-track, My Ashes and Sentimental are the others great tracks in this CD. 5 Stars
