This was the album that shot Porcupine Tree onto the world stage. After several moderately successful independent albums during the 1990's, it was the departure of original drummer Chris Maitland in 2002, (replaced by the awesome Gavin Harrison) and Band founder/leader Steven Wilson's production stint with prog-death metal band Opeth that set a new revitalised musical course for the band. Along with Colin Edwin on bass and Richard barbieri on keyboards this line-up produced this concept piece dealing with the psyche of a serial killer, his background, dreams etc. Musically this has it all from Wilson's incredibly emotive lyrics to sonic landscapes of huge riffs, breathtaking solos, catchy choruses, ambient textures and ultimately truly memorable songs. Highlights include opener "Blackest Eyes" with a monstrous guitar riff, the beautiful acoustic led "Trains", the incredibly catchy "The Sound of Muzak" and the haunting multi-layered vocals of "Heart Attack in a layby". As a bonus this European edition includes a 2nd cd with 3 extra tracks-all excellent including live favourite "Drown with Me". The recording and production quality are absolutely immaculate, Steven Wilson excelling once again. If you are a fan of prog rock/metal you will love this album with influences ranging from Pink Floyd and Rush to Dream Theater and Opeth (no growly vocals tho!).
