Only 'The Third Dark' so far but I should have a copy of their XFM session waiting for me when I get home from the US.

I now have two albums by the band, Signify and Deadwing.

Both are absolutely fantastic.

Many thanks to Danyb001 for getting me into them

I just got pure reason revolution, and its brilliant! Get it

 

[Converge]

Signify is my favourite album by them, can just listen to it all the way through so easily, and its almost like the first time i listened to it each time. Special album i think

Yep, fantastic live as well. I really like their new album, even if the sound is quite different.

As for PT, can't wait to see them live in October

Saw Porcupine Tree live last year (I think it was) at Nottingham Rock City. They were fantastic, though Steve did break a string strumming above the nut at one point, lol.

It was also a little weird seeing loads of drunk middle-aged men (obviously teenage Pink Floyd fans) strangely gyrating to the music.

Awesome band, though. "She's Moved On" is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Thought I'd bump this thread

TBH I'd never heard of them until a mate of mine said she was going to see them at the Hammersmith Apollo next month.

After a bit of research I found out they'd been around for over 20 years!

One studio album every 2 years over that period of time is pretty good going, Steven Wilson must be a fair old grafter in music terms.

Their music is definitely growing on me, though If I didn't see them live it's the sort of music I'd only want to hear on a decent Hi-Fi system to hear it at its best.

I've bought their new album, The Incident, which came out on the 14th Sept. It's pretty good, but it's definitely not one of my favourites

 

[gillywibble]

They're now my second most listened to artist on Last.FM.

I'm also massively into Opeth. They're like a death metal version of PT.

 

[Shamikebab]

I really like it, think it's definitely a grower. I would say it seems more like Signify if we're comparing it to any of their albums. Going to see them in a few weeks

 

[reflux]

My housemate just got their new album; I had never heard of them before and he forced me to listen - they're actually pretty good.

 

[zinc]

I would say so. Having seen the band live on several occasions they never failt o blow me away.

Love this band, one of my favorites.

I've heard their meant to be amazing live. I have their arriving somewhere DVD-A live album and they are very good. In fact I prefer it to their original album songs.

Haven't had a chance to listen to their new album yet though.
