Album Review by Sovereign
I am not a huge fan of Porcupine Tree, but I really believe that they already wrote some of the best songs in the music history. I always enjoy their releases and some times I get stuck with some tracks of them. I have no bad words about them, I think they are genius musicians and they do keep progressive art music alive. The distribution of the songs of ‘the Incident’ is a little weird. Clearly the epic track “The Incident,” is intended to be the focal point, but in doing so, the 4 tracks on the second disc, which together comprise all of twenty minutes plus change, make them feel almost like afterthoughts. Compared to the sprawling fifty-five minutes of disc one, disc two comes off as something more like a bonus EP. Like ‘Opeth’ PT also join Roadrunner records. I think that the album ‘In Absentia’ is far away the others and most of the times when you listen to a ‘Porcupine Tree’ release you are excited but you get used to it really quick. You get bored after some hearings, but you can’t really refer this to a bad track or an uninfluenced composition. Wilson never ends; his mind is like a river, producing water ideas. I do enjoy also this record , I really like the 55 min of first disc as a whole track and I prefer “Drawing the line”, “the Incident”, “Time Flies”, “Bonnie the cat” and “Remember me lover”.
