^It is an ep and it blows. iirc it's the soundtrack for some weird ballet or something. Basically bizarre machine noises + bartók-like music...no voice. doesn't work imo.
 
The Zombies-"Odyessy and Oracle." excellent album. I remember when this first came out. I really like the Anekdoten. And the PT is too high. FOABP is a good album, but I'm hearing "re-treads." PT-"been there and heard that before." syndrome.
 
I agree with Bloodsword about PT retreading ground. I feel like In Abentia was the last album i though "Wow, this is new and well balanced." Deadwing I liked, but don't often go back to. FOABP I also liked, but go back to even less. Anesthetize is incredible and I like the end of the title track as well. Other parts of the album are good, but how could they record the end of Sentimental and not think "we're literally playing Trains right now." I just cant imagine that getting through a rehearsal without coming up.
 
I was personally very dissapointed with FOABP - it seemed so uninspired and unoriginal. Really not what I was expecting from Wilson. I don't ever play that album...
 
I actually loved FOABP. Way Out of Here is probably one of my fave PT songs ever. That and Anesthetize is really epic.
