Album Review

Porcupine Tree have always been pigeonholed with the modern movement, but the reality is that they're both a riff-addicted metal band and a troupe obsessed with rich harmonies and memorable refrains. Take the grinding guitar work of "Shallow" which dukes it out with frontman Steve Wilson's undeniably melodic chorus before easing into the delicate, beautifully crafted "Lazarus." Few bands exhibit this kind of depth, be it the dreamy, Pink Floyd-inspired hallucination "Halo" or the Queensrÿche echoes of "Open Car." If the 12-minute sonic meander known as "Arriving Somewhere but Not Here" is as head-trippy as rock music gets anymore, it is reassuring to know that this Tree is still growing. Ideal for headphones, Deadwing, Rovi

I'd never heard of Porcupine Tree before this year... and I can't understand why! As a big fan of progressive music (Tool, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd...) it's a wonder to me that Porcupine Tree aren't a global phenomenon. They sit a little more on the easy-listening, beautiful melody of the progressive spectrum, but fear not, they have a seriously heavy edge at times. "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" is a great example. Its twelve minutes incorporates everything from Eagles-like acoustic vocal harmonies to Helmet-esque driving distortion. Deadwing is probably my pick of their albums (that I've heard), but have a listen to anything you can find of theirs. Steven Wilson and the band are a force to be reckoned with!

Though he initially came to wider attention (at least in the U.K.) with No-Man, his long-running collaboration with Tim Bowness, throughout the 1990s singer/guitarist Steven Wilson gained as much of a reputation for Porcupine Tree. Embracing and exploring prog rock inspirations while always keeping an ear out for newer musical connections, thus sidestepping the pointless revivalism of many of the band's...
