I love music. A lot! I've watched as many of my favorite bands gain popularity and upon the release of one of their later albums, hear others exclaim their delight in discovering "this new band" that I've been enjoying for years. This was my turn in being left out. An old friend recommended PT when I saw him again after years, and in trusting his taste I got "In Absentia". I then had to promptly get some of their other albums. Going from driving guitars and drums in "Blackest Eyes" to a light piano lullaby that you can unwind to with "Collaps The Light Into Earth", Steven Wilson and crew creates diverse and thoughtful music in each song. If I could have my dream of being in a band, it would be one such as Porcupine Tree. I just wish I had heard of them long before their seventh album.Read full review
I use that as a title because that's exactly what I did. You like one song on here, you'll like the others. This cd has that continous feeling of being trank'd, or when the dentist dope's you up for pulling teeth or something. you feel content with the world while listening to this cd. Many songs. If you like Coldplay, A Fine Frenzy, Five For Fighting etc., you will want this cd. If nothing else, at LEAST get it for the song "Trains". I play guitar, and that one's fun to learn.
THIS Progressive Rock album...really ROCKS ! I think the Porcupine Tree and this CD is GENIUS.

Until a couple of months ago, I had never (due to lack of exposure) heard of Porcupine Tree. "In Absentia" is my new favorite CD! It's one of those rare albums that I bought without knowing what to expect and now can't seem to get enough of it. The sound quality (mixing) is 2nd to none. The writing (lyrical & melodical) is brilliant as well as the compositional layout. I found it obvious that these guys had been around a while. Nobody is this good and refined having just sprung up out of nowhere. This is a mature rock band that masterfully combines progressive, hard, and acid rock with elements of ambient music. I'm now looking forward to discovering the fairly extensive library of music these guys have been putting out since the 80's as well as what's yet to come.Read full review
Relatively hard to find. Glad to have found it here.
