The Porcupine Tree Thread

[MadTinus]

I own Teac equipment and Tannoy speakers, beat that!

About Deadwing, I doubt any album will keep it from the #1 position of my 'album of the year 2005' list..

Saw Porcupine Tree live last week, together with Anathema.

It was a nice show, nice and long setlist, although i hadn't heard Deadwing before most of the songs were damn nice. Anathema even played a new one, as they are on no label yet, that one ruled too..

I'm even more psyched to hear it.

From the same website, an interview w/ Mike about the "Lamentations" DVD:

SoT : As I recall, you once said live albums are shit because most of it isn’t done live, most of it is done in the studio. [Nods] So the obvious question – what about yours?

MÅ : Oh – it’s mostly live! The only thing we re-did was the parts that had to be redone. One song the guitar was out of tune, so I had to redo that, and one song – after half the song the guitar dropped out of the recording, so we had to play that again, and I re-did some vocal lines where I was singing out of tune. But the drums and bass are all 100% from the show, and almost all of the guitar is from the actual show. So there are still many mistakes in there!

SoT : Which makes it more personal, doesn’t it?

MÅ : Yeah! We wanted to leave them there. If you wanted it to be perfect you could go buy the album. There are parts that aren’t good or anything, but you know it’s ‘charming’. It’s definitely a live album, and if you listen to other ‘live’ albums, ours is really a live recording, and you can hear that on the difficult parts.

hmmm, interesting.

Also, expensive headphones.

Noone notices the subliminal message on the upsidedown finger shirt.

 

[deliverance]

i definetly did haha

 

[Aaron A.]

I think "In Absentia" is a better album, personally. "Deadwing" is good, though. I need to listen to it more.

 

[TehLeperAffinity]

What was it?

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

R0l0: where did you get that trey parker/gunhaver pic?

whenever i hear atreyu my hands involuntarily try to strangle me

 

[Draehl]

I like "Halo" the best. I'm surprised nobody mentioned it

And on the headphones issue... I've bought a bunch of different types of headphones, 40$, 80$, I think one pair was 100$...but I still swear by my basic 10$ Sony Stereo headphones. Use 'em a few months and replace. They sound a hell of a lot better than what I've ever used.

Plus a lot of those nice headphones are really bulky with the big earmuff style and I wear glasses so they are very uncomfortable.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Halo > The rest of Deadwing. imo.

In Abenstia i think is a lot better..




i want IPod to die and burn and arghh. it's the epitomy of lame

 

[Psycroptipath]

forgive me if im being a complete ignoramus but every one always says shit bout them and i have no idea who they are. can u recommend some songs for me to download or somethin?
cheers

 

[deliverance]

ugh

why did you make a new fucking thread for this? there are approx. 15 PT threads on the last few pages

 

[R0l0]

They're a prog-rock band from the UK. people talk about em here because Steven Wilson(their lead singer/writer) produced the last 3 Opeth albums. If you liked Damnation you'd probably like some of their stuff...

i love this forum.


theres several groups....

group A: Die hard opeth fans, who listen to very little except opeth...and maybe dimmu borgir or some nonsense.

group B: Die hard opeth fans, who listen to some other stuff...but rarely mention anything except opeth...to the point of making threads about what equipment was used on still life (in hopes to recreate that album?).

group C: Opeth fans who love porcupine tree as well....they talk about both bands equally and unbiasedly.

group D: Militant Opeth fans who proceed to bash porcupine tree as much as possible, and make it quite obvious and visible.

group E: Militant Porcupine tree fans, who either do or dont like opeth...but will bash anyones head in who says anything negative about PT.
