  note : 20/20 | ||
| I consider Porcupine Tree's Fear Of A Blank Planet to be among the top ten metal albums of 2007. The music is very engaging, which is required, in order to take you on this uneasy and eerie journey into the drug and television induced emptiness currently residing in a growing number of today's generation. Although this album isn't a conceptul piece in classic form, the lack of breaks between songs and similar subject matter linking all the lyrics throughout produce this singular theme. The background sounds relentless and constatntly useasy no matter how hard or soft the songs get. This impression is often very complimentary to the lyrics as well, so that even if one were to zone out to the complex tones and movements of the record's longer than average songs the language of the music still speak to you. Highly progressive, emotional, and spatial, this record works for anyone who wants to be challenged as a listener to those who prefer a musical backdrop. The highlight of the recording should be track three: Anesthetize, which includes a solo from Rush's Alex Lifeson. The song has so many elements parellel to the stylings of Rush that reading the Lifeson credit is equal to proving a guess that Lifeson played guitar in the song in the first place. Overall, the entire album is flawless with many peaks and valleys, a dual and constant easy and uneasiness in it's tone throughout with no filler and no throwaways to speak of. In time, Fear Of A Blank Planet, should be regarded as a classic. | ||
