This release contains a music video for Lazarus and EPK "Making The Video". 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 ... Full DescriptionWilson. 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.
Recorded between March and October 2004, this album has been mixed into DTS 5.1 Surround in collaboration with Elliot Scheiner. Guest appearances on the album feature Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth and Adrian Belew of King Crimson. Included are three bonus studio tracks and video content not on the CD version, lyrics, photo gallery, bonus music video, and making-of material.
Porcupine Tree: Steven Wilson (vocals, guitar, hammer dulcimer, piano, keyboards, bass guitar); Richard Barbieri (keyboards, synthesizer); Colin Edwin (bass guitar); Gavin Harrison (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Mikael Akerfeldt (guitar, background vocals); Adrian Belew (guitar).

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 ...

Released right after the career albums TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT and ZUMA and right before the big-selling COMES A TIME and RUST NEVER SLEEPS, this country-rocky 1977 album is often forgotten. But it introduced the sensational "Like A Hurricane," which has remained a staple of Young's concerts, and such quirky favorites as "Homegrown," an ode to marijuana, and "Old Country Waltz," which is exactly what it says it is. As Neil Young's legendary 1970s albums go, it might be a bit of a tossed-off affair, but most country-rockers can only dream of making one album this good.
Released right after the devastating TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT and ZUMA--and right before the big-selling COMES A TIME and RUST NEVER SLEEPS--Neil Young's 1977 country-rock album AMERICAN STARS 'N BARS is often forgotten. Nevertheless, it introduced the sensational "Like A Hurricane," which has remained a staple of Young's concerts, and such quirky gems as "Homegrown," an ode to marijuana, and "Old Country Waltz," whose title is entirely self-explanatory. As Neil Young's legendary 1970s albums go, this might seem a bit casually assembled, but most country-rockers can only dream of making one album this good.

Deadwing Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews GREAT MUSIC BUT IM AN IDIOT
WoW the songs are GREAT but dont make the same mistake I made. I didnt pay attention that this was an AUDIO DVD meaning no videos of there songs so I was upset but hey that was my fault just realize it wont play on cd players unless you have a good one
BUT anyways back to the music it was very fell written and has different styles of music blended in and it sounds great ..if your all about great quality sound then get this if not then just get the cd(plus there are 3 good bonus songs)

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Well...
The music is great, you'd expect nothing less from PT, and you will get nothing less. However, the DVD has nothing great to offer... nothing that great about it, and in most CD players you will not be able to play it.
I do encourage you do get Deadwing, just not the DVD :(.

Fluid, never dull
This is an album that has a fluid movement to it. Best listened to in full, at least the first time. I love the range of sounds. Still surprised that Porcupine Tree is not more well known. Highly recommended.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Porcupine Tree Continues To Push The Limits
This release from Porcupine Tree is downright inspiring.The creative focus and compositional punch raises the benchmark in this brave new world of prog-rock.I am 53 years of age and avidly scour the world for what I consider to be the best prog-rock! This album re-kindles the fire.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Reference quality
This is THE reference standard. The production qualities are superb.
The cutting-edge of progressive rock, Porcupine Tree are at the top of the heap and they are pulling away each time they release another album. Thank God for them...it was getting pretty sparse and depressing out there on the "rock frontier" with the commercial crap and the mediocre 'reinventions' of eighties and seventies bands.
These folk are the epitome of what a class act ought to be and its obvious they have respect for their fans since they consistently put out finely crafted and beautifully produced music. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep it up and all the very best to them.
