Another one sees the light!!!!!!!
Lightbulb sun is a great album as well. Know what's crazy? ALL their stuff sounds that good. I've yet to hear anything from them that doesn't sound stellar.

these guys are actually really good. i heard them for the first time the other day from their website. they definetely reminded me of pink floyd too. what's their best album?
Porcupine tree totally rocks. I saw them live last night in Hollywood. I would have to say that it easily ranks in the top 3 shows I have ever seen in my life. Steve Wilson said that they will be touring again sometime in the spring in the US and I would highly recomend going to see them in person, it is truly worth the price of the ticket, which really wasnt that much this time around.. 12$ for the show was more then worth it. Plus all the CD's that they had for sale out there that are hard to find from them.. 
The new one In Absentia from what I've heard is their best. I tend to believe it. Stupid Dream is a little more low key but just about as good and Stars Die is a pretty cool retrospective on 2CD's with a bunch of rare and unreleased stuff. The further back you go on their albums, singles, etc., the less rock and the more new wavish they sound. Still with Floyd-like passages and ambience though and still good. So far from what I've heard, I prefer the newer material from The Sky Moves Sideways on.

SMAAAAASH!!!
I don´t know anything from this band, would you explain me what´s the style of their music? Sounds like Pink Floyd`s dark side of the moon? or is it a band in a metal way? I´m really interested to know what kind of progressive music they play Thanx!

Man, they're just WAY cool. Remember what it was like first time you heard Opeth? Same deal. You think "Man, I gotta get EVERY LAST ONE OF THEIR ALBUMS!!!"
They sound like what 70's prog rock SHOULD have become instead of this Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Magellan, bullshit. I don't know when castrati opera sopranos became fashionable in ROCK MUSIC, but Porcupine Tree ain't like the rest of that stuff.
They're a throw back to the days of Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Yes, and Pink Floyd; but with modern day production touches. They also dabble in some heavy guitar work. Not death metal, but definitely heavy. Listen to Blackest Eyes, and you'll see what I mean.
Oh yeah, sounds pretty Opethish, what a great song. And, they are even more rockin' live than they are on the albums. If you can, see this band live, they are amazing.
