"Time Flies" (New PT single)

You only have to look at my reviews to work that out!

I listened and have no problem with your opinion. We differ, that's all :)

So you are willing to admit that those songs did in fact inspire this track? See, if the inspiration is indeed that obvious, to me, that's a bad thing. I've heard Pink Floyd influences in Porcupine Tree's music before, but never this obvious or 'in-your-face', and yes, that saddens me.

I don't know what inspired this track. I can hear similarities between this song and some of the basic riffs in 'Animals' but that might be because they were pointed out before I listened to the song. Whether PT were 'inspired' or not by PF, my point is that I do not buy the 'carbon-copy' argument.

If a riff in a song sounds slightly similar (and it is nothing more than slightly if anything...the tempo, groove, time signature,  and rhythm in Dogs is entirely different to the riff in Time Flies, which is why I didn't make the connection...you have to reach pretty far to find it). But there is a similar tempo and closer strumming to the chorus of Time Flies to that of Sheep, and I noticed that pretty early on listening to it. I see no connection in the lyrics to Dogs, nor in the vocal melody. Overall, I suppose it could be subliminally inspired by Sheep, but I think the two songs are wildly different. You could say that by 90% of all pop music now, though. They don't sound similar enough to taint the song. Thank you for being honest. At least I know you don't hear the similarities at all, so it makes more sense why you would fight me on this. However, the similarities are still quite obvious.

Oh yeah, I agree. About the similarity. In "Sheep."

^ Why don't you judge the whole album in it's entirety when you have the chance or...............not play it. But give it a chance I reckon

I honestly do not hear anything remotely " Dogs" like if anything, " Sheep"- the guitar riff at the end. But it's OK, comparisons and similarities are cool. It's not plagiarism just a great song IMO.

Both of you must not be hearing the same song that I am, then. Do you honestly think this song WASN'T inspired by the 'Animals' songs?

Yet another case of drawing far-reaching conclusions from insufficient material, in my opinion. All we can tell from this piece of music is what we think about this piece of music. And as for it being a carbon copy of anything, I wouldn't want to be using your photocopier. I respect the 'sounds-like' opinion, but it's not a copy.

Well, they haven't succeeded until now, my friend.
