Review by ijustspeak Apr 20, 2009
Forget or leave aside all other progressive-rock bands like Dream Theater and such. Porcupine Tree is the most fulfilling band i have heard. If you check out their "Arriving Somewhere" DVD, you see that these guys are the most prominent band ever in the genre that also have nailed the 5.1 sound perfectly that pisses all over other concert releases.
The geeky but genius Steven Wilson is a brilliant songwriter who worked hard to lift the band up and forward. And the result has been astounding.
Porcupine Tree is also Britain's music industry best kept secret.
Check!!!
