Porcupine Tree's new album "The Incident" (2009)

Re: Porcupine Tree's new album (2009) info

I'm kinda put off by the idea of a 55 minute "song." That's not a song to me if it's that long. Maybe it'll be like their Metanoia release? At least I think that's the name of the record, one of the few I don't have yet.

have you heard the new Decemberists album?..you could look at the whole thing as 1 long, 59minute song. And it works really well imo.

I guess it depends on if it's sort of written by-section but doesn't *feel* like each section *needs* to go into the next necessarily. Or moreso, if it just contains some parts that are worth going-back-to, I may dig it. "Anesthestize" unfortunately felt too much like a bunch of parts that didn't need to be together or it lacked something unique really. Some people loved it; I just couldn't wrap my head around it as-a-whole.

otoh, something like Voyage 34 or The SKy Moves Sideways?..unlikely, but that I'd welcome maybe more than something like Anesthestize part 2.

Holy crap

Well the general rule with PT the last couple of years is the longer the song, the more awesome it is.

Russia On Ice, Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, Anesthetize. All absolutely amazing. This is the lenght of all 3 togheter. That will be so fucking amazing it will blow my brains out. Challanging dredg and Mew's new albums by default.

Thanks for the info, I haven't updated myself about PT for long

I'm surprised my dad hasn't already told me about this. He's turned into quite the PT fan.
