Incredble news!!! I still cant belive this is true, and the new single is fire. Im really suprized that Steven wanted to do a reunion, he's did'nt relese a prog album in the last like five years and I did'nt thought he was going to, so I wonder if he's doing it for the fans or the money or for himself...

(also I am wondering who is gonna be the bassist on the tour)

Pretty stoked for this record and the tour that goes with it! The song sounds better than anything on the Incident, minus a few songs!

Okay, the first single is quite impressive.  I'm going to order that same 45 RPM 3-disc vinyl boxset.

Harridan is excellent!! I already listened couple times. Pre-ordered the 45RPM vinyl version as well the black LP/CD set. Was not planning on this but when I logged in to Burning Shed it showed me all versions sold out except the vinyl/CD bought that. Then PT website showed me the 45RPM set which is what I wanted anyhow, ordered that one.
I may just sell the other one, this album will sell out in a day or two, and on release date next year these will be uber expensive on Discogs and the bay.

Buy now or cry later people!

There was something to the rumors then. I have listened a lot to PT, but not much these days. I don’t have much expectations and the single didn’t blow any mind. It sounded like PT with some later TFB inspiration from SW on the vocals. It was apparently written during The Incident era, but probably been worked on since then.

I would’ve maybe been interested in a show, but no date for Norway, at least so far.

I’m sure they could revitalize the band, but more of the PT sound is frankly not on the top of my wishlist for Christmas. I can still listen to PT and have a good time, but in my head it fits in the late 90’s, early 20’s more than 2022. But I won’t write them off before the album is out.

Steven Wilson was on the Rockontuers podcast (Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt) on 3rd September. He was saying that basically every band he's been involved with is still going. The material for the various projects depends on whether he's written with others or not. essentially, if he writes a song by himself, it'll go on a solo project.

Do you hear me Yes, Deep Purple, PFM, Caravan etc?

I don’t see what the problem is with great bands making new music. I mean, sure, it isn’t the same as their classic stuff but it’s still the same band and they enjoy doing it, so why shouldn’t they.

Frequently though, it isn't really the same band. Some of these bands only have one or two original members and in some cases, no original members. They are the band in name only. Does that matter? For some it doesn't and that's fine. It does to me. Watching a band where most or all the original members aren't there just doesn't cut it for me.

Porcupine Tree Official and Gavin Harrison have tweeted...although nothing from Richard Barbieri or Colin Edwin.

so based on those two links, you think PT are preparing a comeback?! ConfusedLOL

Well....it seems my speculation was correct:

CLOSURE / CONTINUATION
Porcupine Tree are proud to finally present an album 12 years in the making – CLOSURE / CONTINUATION. Today we share the first single Harridan, available now across all streaming services.
We are also very pleased to share news of our return to live stages in the UK and Europe in October/November 2022.

Get exclusive pre-sale access for tour tickets by pre-ordering the album, or registering via the official Porcupine Tree store. Tour dates in the Americas and Canada will be announced early next year, stay tuned!

I hope not. As a PT fan, i want the canon to stand on its own instead of releasing substandard mediocrity.

If Wilson's latest solo albums are any indication i doubt that they could ever top their classic era which was pretty much their entire run.
I agree. Leave us this legacy in peace.

I also agree. Better to leave the legacy as it stands, and not try to do some watered down stuff that would ruin it.

It was a phenomenally talented band for sure. John Wesley hardly gets a mention on this thread yet he's a brilliant guitarist.
The problem is simple , can they better or at least equal what they did on In Absentia , Deadwing and Fear Of A Blank Planet? No chance whatsoever. It happened, it was great and it's done. I even go to seem them a couple of times live so that's done and dusted. I don't need Steven Wilson sneering at me from the stage again lol.

There was a company registered in the UK at Companies House named Porcupine 3 Ltd in May.

The directors? Wilson, Harrison, and Barbieri.

Steven Wilson has done some excellent stuff solo. The Raven must be my favourite album from him, including PT, actually (except perhaps for the live Coma Divine), and Grace for Drowning is just about as good, so I didn't really wished for him to reform Porcupine Tree... however, since his last efforts have been missing it for me, it might be just the right time for it to happen.
