Our Take

Ah, Porcupine Tree, the band that's as elusive as the Loch Ness Monster but with more prog-rock influences. In Absentia, their seventh studio album, is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking listeners on a journey through dark, brooding lyrics and head-banging riffs.

Lead singer Steven Wilson's haunting vocals are reminiscent of a ghost whispering in your ear, while the band's intricate instrumentation creates a mesmerising soundscape that's both eerie and captivating. The opening track "Blackest Eyes" is a punchy introduction to the album, with its crunchy guitars and infectious hooks.

But it's tracks like "Trains" and "The Sound of Muzak" that really showcase Porcupine Tree's songwriting prowess. The former is a heartfelt ballad that builds to an epic crescendo, while the latter is a scathing critique of the music industry disguised as a catchy rock anthem.

In Absentia is not just an album, it's a sonic experience that will leave you questioning your existence and craving more. So grab your headphones, dim the lights, and let Porcupine Tree take you on a trip to the dark side of the moon. Trust me, you won't regret it.
