FEAR OF A BLANK PLANET

I've been a fan of PT since I got into prog rock and one of the first prog CD's I've bought was In Absentia. I thought they couldn't possibly record anything as good as IA and for a second there I thought I was right because Deadwing was ok, but I didn't measure up to IA. But when I got my hands on this album I was blown away from the first second and I still am. This is as good as modern prog rock gets. The haunting atmosphere, the ambient keys, the faster metal moments, the sophistication and the drums. Gavin Harrison has pulled an excellent performance on this album which gave him the opinion of one of the best drummers out there. Anesthetize is one of those tracks that are fairly long but you simply can't be bored while listening to them. This album is packed with emotions and ideas that made this album a masterpiece.

The conclusion is simple, this is easily the best album of 2007 and one of the best in the XXI century.
