Free Music Review: A Modern Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
This is simply a great modern rock record that documents the band exploring a broad range of styles and moods. The CD covers everthing from breezy pop to crunchy metal, introspective ballads to industrial grit. The songwriting and playing is first rate througout, with many spine-tingling moments. Favorite tracks include the pop/metal title track, the lovely ballad Lazarus, the extended-yet-focused track Arriving Somewhere, and personal favorite Start of Stomething Beautiful. This is a powerful showcase of the band's strenths and a good introduction to their music. Don't let the backhanded snarkiness of the Amazon "editorial reviewer" put you off. The CD does not sound like Yes. Or Rush. Or the Mars Volta. Nor does the CD show signs of of the band worshipping at the feet of anyone. Nor is the average age of the band relevant. You can safely ignore the buffoon and get the CD.
Deadwing Poster
Porcupine Tree defies categorization. This unique London-based quartet make unconventional, uncompromising music that qualifies them as Europe's premiere art-rock cult band. Porcupine Tree's cogent musical personality is a force to be reckoned with. Porcupine Tree's intelligent and accessible sound will appeal not only to metal enthusiasts and twenty-something dark wave fans, but will also fit in with today's more adventurous alternative station playlists.Before the Mars Volta made prog-metal fashionable again--with a little help from the Dillinger Escape Plan and My Chemical Romance--Porcupine Tree's 2002 US debut, In Abstentia, had already laid most of the groundwork. For the middle-aged British quartet led by Steven Wilson, '70s rockers like Rush and Yes (with whom the group toured after the album's release) never went out of style but instead left behind grandiose scriptures to be studied for all of eternity. So while tighter and more efficient in spots ("Shallow," "Halo"), Porcupine Tree's Deadwing faithfully keeps the technically proficient epics coming, peaking with multi-tentacled 12-minute "Arriving Somewhere (But Not Here)." --Aidin Vaziri
