THE INCIDENT

I've listened The Incident more than 10 times, and until now, it's one of my favorites albuns from PT. The album is much more varied than FoABP, exploring differents elements from PT music and running away from the heavyness and depressing that was their last album. There's no weak song here, almost everything works well, heavy and acoustic stuff. Some really good guitar solos (Time Flies, Your Unpleasant Family, I Drive The Hearse, etc), ambient keyboard (The Yellow Windows Of The Evening Train, The Incident, Blind House, etc) and the bass is more present, despite not as the classic albuns. The Song Cycle idea really worked well, and gave to PT more freash air. There's not much references to the older albuns, except from Octane Twisted that remembers What Happens Now and Mother & Child Divided and Circle of Manias that remembers Mother & Child Divided too. The eletronic stuff is more present, the heavy bits not much, but are the best ones they have made (and not so heavy like Nil Recurring (EP) and Anesthetize). The only thing that i didn't like much was the transition of "Circle of Manias" to "I Drive the Hearse", and "The Blind House" to " Great Expectations". Looks like they're really different songs and not a whole one. Not big thing, anyway. I think's remember a bit "Dark Side of The Moon", with songs that connects one to other and lot's of varied stuff. Much better than FoaBP, and the same level of my favorites albuns, Deadwing and Up The Downstair.
