The bass player in my band showed me some of their stuff yesterday, it's so totally wicked...reminds me of a little Stone Temple Pilots happy.gif , a little Pink Floyd and a little more grunt. Loving it.

Anyone heard of them? Seen them live?? This could just be my one of my new favourite bands smile.gif

Awesome. You're more into them than I expected. Signify is definitely an incredible album. I didn't get into them early either, until just a couple months before Deadwing (I had never heard them up until that point). Up the Downstair is also a major favorite of mine. And Voyage 34...holy shit that shit's good. Anyway, I'm really surprised (and happy) by all the people here expressing their liking of Porcupine Tree...it's really cool. They're definitely a band that deserves more recognition than they get, but I hope they never become uber-popular. That would just ruin their exclusivity. They are damn awesome.

I disagree that Porcupine Tree have a lot of filler...especially with In Absentia. In my mind In Absentia is alongside such albums as the Dark Side of the Moon and Tommy as one of those "perfect" or "as close to perfect as you can get" albums. Every song just hits home perfectly. You have to search far and wide in PT's catalogue to really find true filler, because most of what they do, IMO, is not. Signify. Up the Downstair. The Sky Moves Sideways. There is no filler on those albums. Stupid Dream, yes. Lightbulb Sun, maybe, but if any hardly at all. In Absentia and Deadwing are filler-less too, if you ask me. I can't think of a bad track on any of these five albums I mentioned. I just hope the next album matches up in quality to the previous two, because from what I experienced from them doing the new material live in concert in October, I didn't find it extremely promising. I'm still cautiously optimistic about the upcoming album though.

Jason, have you checked out Blackfield?
