THE INCIDENT

At first, some die hard Porcupine Tree fans, such as myself, will find them selves uttering the word "disapointment". However, given about 10 or so spins later, you find yourself in aww at what you've come to realize. You were never disapointed to begin with, you were just not hearing it all. Coming from an album such as Fear of a Blank Planet, which seemed to latch on at first or second listen. This is quite an adventure for even some avid music goers.

Some stand out tracks are definitely "The Incident", "Time Flies", and "Bonnie the Cat". Fear not Porcupine Tree fans, this album is not 'simple', it is not 'generic', it is not without plenty of nuance. Best of all there are plenty of musical ideas never expressed by Steve wilson and friends before, that are down right fantastic. Please, you owe it to yourself to listen to this album at least 10 times... in a row.

Experiancing the entire collaboration of the 55 minute "the Incident" was probably the greatest musical experiances, heck experiance period, of my life.

On a less opinionated note, if you didn't exactly enjoy the harsher side of Porcupine Tree in the past 2 albums, this one might suite you well, as they return to many methods from the Signify/Stupid Dream days. Once again everyone, buy, listen, learn, and hold onto this album.

This is my personal favorite album, of the decade. Yes sir. 5 ***** stars.
