Porcupine Tree.

[CF87]

What album or songs should I start with.

 

[all_sins_undone]

Blackest Eyes as a song.

 

[Braighs]

Opeth fan?
Get "In Absentia".

 

[Mr. Josey Wales]

in absentia would be the easiest to get into imo

if you want a little older more psychadelic PT, go with signify

 

[Heckelgruber]

Opeth fan?
Get "In Absentia".

I quite like Deadwing. Mikael plays the second solo on Arriving Somewhere too, if you need to acquire all side project-related activity

 

[the_3_toed_sloth]

Doesn't matter. All quality. Just remember that the earliest albums were more psychadelic, the mid-era albums more a pop orientation (though merged with psych and rock), and the more recent bringing out the rock stylings (though not forgetting earlier PT).

If you want album by album info, just say. One thing PT fans love to do is spend hours debating which is their best, and will be happy to jump to the defence of their fav.

ps. Deadwing.

I only have three albums from PT but all are great, and have a sound to their own.

Deadwing
In Absentia
Up the Downstair

All are good and I suggest you get them.

Get Signify and In Absentia these both can help you understand Porcupine Tree.
