STUPID DREAM

This album seems to be a bit eclipsed by its successors but it is by no means neclegtable. All songs are beautifully crafted, the majority is in the lighter vein. There is not a single weak track on it, though sometimes it might get a little to poppy. IMHO the essential songs are EVEN LESS; DON'T HATE ME ; TINTO BRASS; STOP SWIMMING and with slight reservation A SMART KID. It's obvious that Coma Divine marked the end of an era and PT wanted to do something else. So this like the embryonic PT that came into full bloom with In Absentia and Deadwing. If you like these, you shouldn't miss this one. But careful, you might have to be picky with the songs. 4 stars.
