| | Porcupine Tree Deadwing CD Porcupine Tree Discography of CDs
 (48 Customer Reviews)
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.

Porcupine Tree Deadwing Songs Deadwing Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews 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"

 PT is if anything hard to define
Not being all that familiar with PT, from reading reviews was interested. Hard Rock
soft instrumental and good vocal passages,
it's hard to pinpoint the type of music and if nothing else most original and unlike most that are defined as progressive. A nice collection to add to
your cd collection.

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.

Deadwing
$15.05
Definitely consciousness expanding, the prickly affectations of Porcupine Tree will only be lost on those too well-steeped in the cold, cruel world to avail themselves of these inebriating aural tonics. Fortunately, the rest of us lucky few who are mentally equipped to let UP THE DOWNSTAIR run barefoot through our minds will be ever so eager to do so. Take careful note of the sounds wafting from ye olde England--the wild potpourri of bands like Ozric Tentacles, Omnia Opera, Mandragora, and Porcupine Tree are making a mighty dent in those so exposed. This stuff is not going to be a secret much longer--and blessedly so. UP THE DOWNSTAIR's charismatic potions penetrate, obfuscate, and violate the creeks of the sensible mind with dreamy veils of guitars, pulsing rhythms, and layer upon ...
| | Dream Theater Octavarium CD (2005)
Deadwing
$11.15
As the sole major-label progressive-metal act, Dream Theater invariably set the standard as the flagship band of the genre. With the numerically themed OCTAVARIUM (including eight tracks signifying the band's eighth release) the shred-rock quintet continues to challenge themselves creatively. Opening track "The Root Of All Evil" picks up the thread that began with "The Glass Prison" (SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE) and carried forward to "This Dying Soul" (TRAIN OF THOUGHT). Drummer Mike Portnoy's lyrics for these songs read like a set of deeply personal journal entries documenting his painful recovery experience, further disclosed by a footnote nod to Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson. OCTAVARIUM chiefly finds Dream Theater stepping back from elaborate fretboard ...
