IN ABSENTIA

I can't sign on to this one. I caold listen to "Sky Moves..." or "Lightbulb Sun" for ever. My son is fussier. We could listen to "Deadwing" togetherand ever need to play another album again, ever. That is how good PT are. In Absentia doesn't do that for me, for us. Let's not get this wrong - it is a decent album, but is doesn't have the magic of Deadwing.

Buy in the following order...

Deadwing ...Sky Moves... Lightbulb Sun

then if yuo want more,,,

In Absentia

What I shall say, however, is that this album is not like any of the others on the list - PT are good enough to produce an original album every time - just that the songs and tunes on this one are not as brilliant as some of the ther albums - IMHO.

Every album is a new challenge - this is genuinely progressive rock musicof a standard that nobody else is producing.
