Tree's finest hour
Lightbulb Sun is in many of Porcupine Tree's fans, quite simply the best album the band have put out, even though, contradictively speaking, they get better and better everytime, its just with this release, they really nailed their sound! The awesome start of the title track, their greatest single (SHESMOVEDON), the romper stomper that is Hatesong and the shear brilliance of Russia on Ice are worth any asking price alone. This being a german edition, comes with a bonus disc which includes an edit of the recording Buying New Soul, which is also a tremendous stand out track amongst fans. If you've never heard of Porcupine Tree or are curious to what they sound like then GET this album first. Its a musical masterpiece. It explores most musical influences,Progressive rock, straight out ROCK, 60's/70's influence,slight bit of indie in there, Beach Boy crossover-like vocal harmonies and balls to the wall metal cressendo at the finale of the magnificent 13 minute Russia on Ice. Lead song writer Steven Wilson has the ability to raid any music appreciators mind and take all the best things you've ever heard and put them all on one album. Seriously come on! This guy has NEVER written a bad song and listening to this album just makes you want to hit play again and again and again and again. I urge you, your record collection is naked without this. BUY BUY BUY! J Clark

More laughs from a great show
If you've never seen SCRUBS then you've missed a treat.
The writers are just GENIUS!
There is not one character in this show that isn't good.
The comedy is random and laugh out loud fantastic, yet also, being a hospital sit com, the moments of sensitivity can be heart breaking.
Every show ends with a moral and its hard to imagine laughing so hard one minute and then getting your heart ripped out the next.
J.D.,the main character, is ruled by his inner monologue and his fantasy dreams are the most absurd bizzare visions only Monty Python got away with.
Elliot, his dream girl is played by the gorgeous Sarah Chalke and his dreams of her seem to always be sexual and jaw dropping. Every red blooded male should see that!
His best friend Turk is some guy anyone would wanna be friends with and his mentor, DR. COX, is sarcastically brilliant. I've even stolen some of his rants and passed them off as my own.
J.D.s nemesis is the hospital janitor, whom litterally destroys his dreams every day.
SCRUBS is the kind of sit com you can go back to again and again and never gets boring, you'll always find something else to make you laugh. 100% guaranteed. BUY, WATCH, LAUGH, CRY, WATCH AGAIN. Scrubs is awesome!

Stop everything and listen to this
Every now and again a rare treat of an album is created and this is one of them. FRom the fantastic opening of Angel Gets Caught In The Beauty Trap till the finale of Things Change, this is music to literally fall in love to. I bought this album on the strength that the genius of Steven Wilson from the band Porcupine Tree, quite literally turns everything to gold at what he touches. SERIOUSLY! If you see any album with him credited on it, you know its going to be the most wonderful experience your ears, mind and soul ever had the graciousness of hearing. There is nothing to dislike about this amazing album. On perchasing everything else this band have done, I can without state that Flowermouth is by far their greatest achievement. I urge you to hear this. It sounds as if every musical instrument is explored and played beautifully. This is "Thinking mans/womans music" OPen your mind, sit back relax, turn off the lights and enjoy! 12 out of 10. J Clark!
