Wow...
What an amazing album by the band. Porcupine Tree doesn't do it the same way than the
other bands : they're gettins better each time, even after In Absentia, Lightbulb sun, The
sky Moves Sideways, Stupid Dreams, Signify...
The album has a great opening track, with the same heavy and space sound that we know
from Wilson. The first guitar solo is very good, it gives an idea of what will be the album,
and the second, from Belew, is kind of surprising, but at least as good. Shallow is a little
funny, in my idea, since anyone could like that track, since it's so simple and accessible.
But it has its place on the album, because it does what it has to. Than, Lazarus... The
first time I heard it I was riding in my car and it touched me so hard, I just couldn't believe
it. It makes me the same effect that Collapse the light into earth and Wish you were here,
honestly. The fourth track is the less strong of the album, in my opinion, but still quite
good. Arriving somewhere but not here is just a piece of perfection in kind of space prog.
The keyboard intro and the first notes of the guitars put me out of my body each time and
I'm gone for 12 minutes. Very great song, my favourite from all PT stuff. Mellotron
scratch is very beautiful too, especially the ending. Open car is good too, in the same vein
than Shallow. Than, the 9/8 song (I'm pretty sure). Great song too, I like to do the drums
with my hands while I'm listening to the song. And the album ends with Glass Arm
shattering, a song that reminds The Sky Moves Sideways. And what a surprise! the very
beautiful Shesmovedon comes to our hear right after this masterpiece of prog music.Great job by Wilson and his friends, they keep great music alive
