Deadwing or In Absentia is my favourite PT album. I was trying to figure out which one the other day, but then I realized that I don't have to make that decision.

Pinch

No way. Dead

Arriving Somewhere But Not Hear is the only track I really like.

The opener isn't bad either.

The rest I could live without.


Who cares what you like?

I said it was a masterpiece, damn it.  A masterpiece. 

And when I say so, it is so.  Period.  End of discussion.

Worship me.


I'm with James. And I just listened to Deadwing yesterday. Poorest new-styled PT, compared to In Absentia and FOABP, by miles and continents.

And Arriving Somewhere But Too Late To Save A Drunk Rob is the only good piece from it.

Maybe Halo too, because I enjoy it in live concerts.
Nah, Open Car is my favourite song from PT, and that's slightly weird since it's the shortest track from all their three latest albums. That chorus is grand. Arriving Somewhere is brilliant as well, and those two masterpieces with an otherwise very solid album make it my favourite PT.
It's on PA!

Yeah, but this is teenage gar(b)age noise.

But Elixirs will probably remain closest to my heart.

I noted the same feeling about Maahan. It's my favourite, even if, arguably, Kaarmelekunta could be considered better.

The EP's not Zeuhl at all, just humour I guess. On the short track "Zeuhl II", they do take a vocal excerpt of MDK last piece and distort it. But that's all.

Pretty noisy Guapo, in this stage.

Speaking of Guapo, yesterday I listened to Five Suns for the first time, while doing the houseworkWink... Very good album, though not easy to 'get' after only one listen. I'm looking forward to listening to it again anyway... Fascinating stuff.

And I need that Guapo EP.  Do you know if it's Daniel O'Sullivan on it?


I hate Soderling. Pistol-player (when his serves and forehand is accurate, it's not at the max in this game).

It's as early as the debut, so likely not.

How are you man?!? Long time no see.Hug


You know what? I kind of agree. LOL I came here as a huge proghead, but I barely listen to any prog anymore. And a lot of the bands I listen to listed on PA I don't consider prog myself.

I'm pretty good. I just registered for courses the other day. I'm going to the University of British Columbia this fall. I also bought a DS which is pretty fun. LOL

I'm happy for you. Going to school is always a good call in my book.

Yep and it's better than any other post-rock I've heard too.

Now Math Rock bands are much more progressive to my ears.


I've been listening to Hex quite a lot recently and I agree.
