THE INCIDENT

I wanna say I like some PT albums ( from their past). After release of that new album I read many reviews , and decided just to test it. To be honest, I am not a lover of neo-prog or some modern bands, which play repetetive pseudo-progresive,taken from old great bands vaults, and adapted to unprepared audience. From other hand, I know few great new names in progresive, which possibly will help this style to survive.

Some PT albums was psychodelic and dark, and had their faces as well. It's pity, but that time is gone. And that new album is good evidence: brit-pop plus indie plus some heavyness plus symphonic citates all are mixed in boring and faceless mix. Just few bright moments ( even not full songs, but moments!) could be found in that double (!!!) CD of strange format (55+20) minutes, is it regular double CD format?).

I can survive strangest experimental sounds and unusual rhythms and song structures, at least we all like prog for it's innovations and experimentalism. But to accept that huge overdose of un-original and boring music is not possible at any conditions!

For sure, they are not only band, playing some secondary mix of old prog , symphonic rock cliches, some heavy guitars and brit-pop spiced music. I believe, that music is business, so you must to fight for wider circle of listeners, often at any price. But very often this fight bring you easy money and destroy your good name.

Again, I believe that many band fans will like this album. In fact, it is not too different from their some previous works. So - if I once again re-confirm to myself, that there are a few modern bands, playing original and great music, many band's fans received one more dose of music they like.

Can't give recommendations - I think it is just album of music which is made for different listener and according to different standard. I prefer best Radiohead works - same brit pop, psychodelia and heavy rock in moments but much more original and fresh in moments.
