Our Take

After a long absence, Porcupine Tree has made a triumphant return with their latest album, In Absentia. And let me tell you, this album is like a musical rollercoaster, taking you on a journey through intricate melodies, killer riffs, and thought-provoking lyrics.

From the moment you press play, you're hit with the heavy, distorted guitars of "Blackest Eyes," setting the tone for the rest of the album. Frontman Steven Wilson's haunting vocals soar over the thunderous drums and hypnotic bass, creating a sound that is both powerful and mesmerizing.

Tracks like "Trains" and "The Sound of Muzak" showcase the band's ability to blend lush, melodic passages with hard-hitting rock anthems. The intricate arrangements and intricate songwriting make each listen a new experience, with hidden depths waiting to be uncovered.

But it's not all serious business on In Absentia. The band shows their playful side with tracks like "Lips of Ashes," where Wilson's quirky lyrics and cheeky delivery will have you chuckling along.

Overall, In Absentia is a masterful display of Porcupine Tree's talent and creativity. It's a must-listen for fans of progressive rock, alternative metal, or just good music in general. So grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and prepare to be blown away by this musical masterpiece.
