Deadwing album Product Description
Deadwing album by Porcupine Tree was released Apr 26, 2005 on the Lava label. Considering their cinematic scope, it's fitting that the songs on DEADWING were actually inspired by a film script written by Porcupine Tree mastermind Steven Wilson. Not that this should come as any surprise to longtime fans who know the UK act's reputation for churning out epic progressive rock so sonically descriptive that it's practically visual. Porcupine Tree creates works with complex structures that do not alienate or obscure the songs themselves, pieces that are dark and psychedelic without being sinister. On the 12-minute opening title track, weighty guitar riffs and spacious synths immediately recall Nine Inch Nails, but swooping melodic changes give way to ambient passages, making it plain that this is no industrial-rock rip-off. "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" begins with processed backwards guitar, building into a harmony-fueled crescendo before dropping off completely to reveal sparse picking over loops and clicks. Guests Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) and Adrian Belew (King Crimson) contribute vocal harmonies and guitar, respectively, and the disc comes enhanced with behind-the-scenes video footage as a bonus feature. ...See Full Description

| my new obsession This is the sort of dynamic, sonically rich music that gets into your cortex and stays there. The lyrics are complete bollocks,(Steven needs a lyric collaborator), but take the songs as a whole, and it will blow you away. Stick around for the hidden track. A whisker better than "IN ABSENTIA", and, I fear, better than "BLANK PLANET" By David Martin (Victoria, Australia) |
| it's a good album it's a good cd, but the others (absentia, live in rome,lightbulb sun) are better, more progressive. the music are more metal. By llveiculos (goiania, GO,BRAZIL)  |
| PT is finally ready for stardom. Deadwing delivers! After a few listens it will get to you. Being a long time PT fan, I was esceptic of certain collaborations and the edgier, heavier sound on some tracks, but as it turns out, it works beautifully! Deadwing (the song) is an awesome three-way collaboration that jumpstarts the whole album, Halo is so good it could be a single on its own. Lazarus is already a single, and another beautiful song following the likes of earlier tracks like Stranger By the Minute and The Rest Will Flow. The masterpiece here, though, has to be Arriving Somewhere but not here, 12+ minutes of vintage PT, and probably one of the best songs on their entire catalog. This group has everything to take it to the next level. Deadwing is their latest proof of it. By Julio R. (Caracas, Vzla)  |
| NO WORDS..... ...THIS IS JUST OUTSTANDING!!!! PORCUPINE TREE JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, TAKING YOU FURTHER INTO A MUSICAL UNIVERSE. HOW DO THEY DO IT? A BIT DIFFERENT THAN IN ABSENTIA, BUT MORE DIVERSE. I CAN' WAIT FOR THE NEXT RELEASE!!!! By roorya (SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO)  |
| Could only be 5 Stars! Another excellent Album fron Steve and the Boy's. I had this in the car for 2 weeks straight. Can't get enough. I'm waiting for the 5.1 version to come in the mail. Get I't and get 'em all. By ilovea2 (Australia)  |
