deepak Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 All taken from another forum: Fear of a Blank Planet 01-06-2007 Roadrunner Records and Atlantic USA have officially announced the release of the new Porcupine Tree album "Fear of a Blank Planet" in mid April. The album features six (mostly lengthy) tracks, and is the band?s most ambitious and cohesive work to date. Much of it was debuted last year on tour to a rapturous response from fans. The lyrical content of the song-cycle on the album is a 21st century cocktail of MTV, sex, prescription drugs, video games, the internet, terminal boredom, and subsequent escape. More news and previews of the album to follow on this site. Track list: 1. Fear of a Blank Planet (7.28) 2. My Ashes (5.07) 3. Anesthetize (17.42) 4. Sentimental (5.26) 5. Way Out of Here (7.37) 6. Sleep Together (7.28) 17 minute prog track
postjack Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 I've never listened to Porcupine Tree, what's their story? Prog metal? I don't really like the Mars Volta because while their compositions are interesting, I feel like that, ultimately, they don't really go anywhere (no real theme, lack of cohesion, IMO of course). Is Porcupine Tree anything like them?
postjack Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 well, both bands have guitars... Do they have drums?
postjack Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 sometimes. Are there any bass guitars?

Is Porcupine Tree anything like them? I really dislike The Mars Volta. Can't stand their singer and the cryptic bullshit they spew. Porcupine Tree is nothing like them, they actually have a singer that can....sing! And it's more progressive rock than metal. With the exception of a few tracks on Deadwing (which Steven Wilson admitted to being a bit influenced by Opeth after their last side project) most of their music is pretty mellow.

Sounds cool, I'll have to check them out. Some iTunes Music Store listening is in order.
ojnihs Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 Porcupine Tree always has the most interesting album covers...
deepak Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Posted February 27, 2007 This has actually been up for a few days, in case noone has checked: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=61819211 (new 6 minute track up)
Patu Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 So have you all Porcupine Tree fans checked out the new Blackfield album already? Blackfield II is the name. I think this is pretty much as good as the first one (= awesome).

Dusty Chalk Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Crap another album I need to check out.What he said.
deepak Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Posted April 2, 2007 To tell you the truth I thought Blackfield I and II were pretty bland by Steven Wilson standards. Lyrically and musically. I take this back. I've heard II a few more times and I really enjoy it. Also I should have bumped and posted this earlier but Newburry Comics was taking preorders on Fear of a Blank Planet and were offering signed booklets. I hope some of you might have saw this at other forums (Steve Hoffman) and were able to get one. I can't wait till it gets here, less than a month away
