The Sky Moves Sideways is my new favorite album. I got it yesterday. The first song I bought by Porcupine Tree was "Piano Lessons", which is good, but personally I think Stupid Dream can't compare to this amazing masterpiece. Every song is great, I love the soundscapes. Colin Edwin's fretless bass on The Sky Moves Sideways Phase I is also a masterpiece in it's own. I kind of forget the other bass parts because I listened to it all yesterday, but I'm listening the Phase I right now.
THIS ALBUMS IS AMAZING!!!

its true that the dude from porcupine tree produced blackwater park and influenced opeth but I wouldnt call the music greatly similar...
(opeth is 10 times better than porcupine tree IMHO) |

I DO remember, however, that album being pure wicked. Steve Wilson is a freaking genius. That will probably be my next PT purchase, adding to my measley collection of Fear of a Blank Planet and Lightbulb Sun....

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Lowell/Amesbury Massachusetts | | i actually find most of steve's material to be boring and empty  I really only like the sky moves sideways and stupid dream, and even at that, its pretty much only a select few songs/moments which I think are good. The rest leaves me pretty uninspired. He is a good producer, I find his songwriting to be mediocre though. |

I honestly think that Porcupine Tree has been the greatest "find" for me since... well, probably since I found Cradle of Filth about 8 or 9 years ago. I like most music, but for a band (or artist) to really connect with me is fairly uncommon...
YMMV, I suppose. |

Anyways I think that dispite opeth being mutch more harder it is similar they are both proggressive bands |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Toronto area | | | Wilson produced *some* Opeth albums. Blackwater Park, and the Damnation and Deliverance albums. I thought he had nothing to do with albums before that (Still Life etc.) or the Ghost Reveries or Watershed that came after those.
It's Akerfeldt that makes Opeth what it is (awesome IMHO), not Wilson.
I like both PT and Opeth, but prefer Opeth by a pretty long shot.
Deadwing is my favourite PT album as well.
