Our Take

Ah, Porcupine Tree - the band that's as elusive as their album title "In Absentia". But fear not, dear readers, for I have braved the depths of this sonic journey and emerged to tell the tale.

From the get-go, this album is a rollercoaster of emotion, like a breakup with your favourite pair of headphones. The haunting vocals of Steven Wilson are like a siren's call, luring you into a world of prog-rock goodness. The guitars are as sharp as a porcupine's quills, piercing through the layers of intricate rhythms.

Tracks like "Blackest Eyes" and "Trains" transport you to a place where time stands still, only to be rudely awakened by the heavy thump of "Strip the Soul". It's like being on a musical seesaw - one moment you're floating on cloud nine, the next you're plummeting towards the earth.

But fear not, dear readers, for Porcupine Tree's masterful musicianship will catch you before you hit the ground. The production on this album is as crisp as a British autumn morning, with every note and beat perfectly placed.

So, dear readers, if you're looking for an album that will take you on a wild ride through the depths of your soul, look no further than "In Absentia" by Porcupine Tree. Just be sure to hold on tight, because this one's a real trip. Cheers!
