Free Music Notes for Fear of a Blank Planet
Free Music Review: PT perfection
Hit: 5 Stars
The only problem with this record is that it over long before you want it to be. SW's production genius is apptly displayed and the the deep textures and melodic layering that is PT is in full regalia. The subject matter is legitimate and relevent, albeit dark (but that's what we've come to expect and respect) Harrison is a madman, a percussionist driven!
Edwin provides his solid skills on the bottom end. Barbieri creates masterful ambiance to add to SW's (with the help of Wesley, Lifeson, Fripp) inspired guitar works. The vocal work is completely fitting and full of the rich harmonys that all PT fans admire. All combine to create a new genere trancending experience that is a must hear. In short if you are a fan you should not be disappointed. If your not a fan you will be. Catch PT live, they are all that!
Free Music Review: The Big Yawn
Hit: 2 Stars
Save your money. You've already heard everything Wilson has to say here on Deadwing and In Absentia.
I've been a big fan of Wilson's earlier works and I will admit the playing on FOABP is as good as it's ever been. However, the overall song writing has continued to slip. At this point he's just beating a dead wing. I mean dead horse...sorry I couldn't resist.
Let's hope it's just a case of temporary "writers block".
Free Music Review: I can't stop listening to it.

PT appeals to different people for different reasons. And different PT CDs appeal to different people for different reasons. But this is the third CD in a row -- after "In Absentia" and "Deadwing" -- that I think is a very fine effort. Steven Wilson and his band make some quality music that can appeal to far more than just fans of prog-rock. Call it "pop-prog" if you will. It's very listenable, very accessible, and yet has a lot of the little things that I look for in prog: extended pieces that are not boring because they contain enough surprises and clever turns to keep me interested.Free Music Review: You won't be disappointed

This is my second PT CD and I think they are getting better all the time. The song writing and the musicianship are top notch. It's good to see true masters of their craft produce a work like this. I am anxiously awaiting the next one.
Free Music Review: great record

PT matures, and records a great album. With every listen, I enjoyed it more and more.
