"Time Flies" (New PT single)

Thanks for posting this!!

Hmmm ... not a bad track. Lyrics remind me of all the angst portrayed in FOABP. This album could be a direct follow-up to FOABP.

You can hear a 7 minute album sampler too at their myspace.  Sorry if this was covered elsewhere.

I like how it's the longest track on the album and it's called "Time Flies".

I actually might consider getting The Incident, despite my dissapointment with FOABP.

Yeah, the chorus is from 'Sheep', and the verses are from 'Dogs'.

'And after a while . . . '

'You've got to . . . '

to me seem like clear rip-offs lyrically, as well as musically.

PT is turning into DT

If you're just now accusing PT of shamelessly copying Pink Floyd, that bandwagon seemed to pass about 15 years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry, am I late for something? I didn't realize I couldn't just have an honest opinion of a musical piece without being accuse of being a bandwagon jumper.

As to what I'm accusing; absolutely. I think it's obvious that this is an inspiration-less song ripped straight off of Waters and Gilmours' backs. Wilson hasn't done something this blatant since 'Sky Moves Sideways'.

I'm a huge Porcupine Tree fan, and I care about the band's originality. I'm not just trying to slam them without cause. I will still by the album and all; I just hope the rest of the tracks are much more unique.

Again, why do people think this is news to me? I'm very well aware of the Floyd comparisons, I've been here a while. I'm just pointing out the obvious in this particular track's case.

Porcupine Tree hasn't sounded like Pink Floyd in years, and for them to go back to that place again seems kind of regressive. That's all I'm pointing out.

I know this is not news to you, I was simply stating the point. I agree that the comparison is obvious, it's pretty hard not to notice.

I'm not so sure that it is a regression for PT to sound like PF, however I would have thought that if PT were to release another blatant TSMS, then sure.  But I still beleive that it is too early to tell just from the single.
