Porcupine Tree: Track titles and song lengths listed

So, the part of Anesthetize between 6:17 and 12:11 is a very fine song. Why did they have to sandwich it between almost 12 minutes of mind-numbingly boring intro/outro music?

So far, I'm not grabbed by this album as much as I was with Deadwing and IA.
 
phenomenal music. one fault. shit fucking lyrics. could we get over how shit young people are these days? ive had enough of listening about steve getting stoned in a fucking mall already.

but as i said, phenomenal music.
 
Here's an experiement for you....listen to Signify or Sky Moves Sideways then FoaBP back to back....and see which one's the most engaging....I don't think that foabp is bad or anything...I just think SW has spread himself a little thin..with Blackfield and all his other side projects....

This album is totally on par with In Absentia, and that to me makes it the best PT release yet. I have a feeling this will be the album to top this year - AMAZING! I listened to it enough times to finally realize just how truly terrific it is, from beginning to end. The musicianship and song structures are unparelled - it all flows seamlessly and flawlessly. Musical bliss, period and one of the best prog albums I have heard.

:OMG: Man, this was a shocker for me this year.

well he may spread himself a little thin but that came out more in blackfield II than FoaBP. he can still write very high quality stuff, hes no dan swano.
 
The lyrics are apparently a love-hate thing, but I think they're really quite well written. Some of the lines are just great. "I'm through with pornography/The acting is lame/The action is tame..." hehe.
