Porcupine Tree new album - Fear of a Black Planet

[j_garcia]

From their website:

Following two album playback events in New York and at Abbey Road in London, the cover design and track listing of the new Porcupine Tree album "Fear of a Blank Planet" have been revealed:

1. Fear of a Blank Planet (7.28)
2. My Ashes (5.07)
3. Anesthetize (17.42)
4. Sentimental (5.26)
5. Way Out of Here (7.37)
6. Sleep Together (7.28)

The album is set for April release through Roadrunner in Europe, Atlantic in the US, and WHD Entertainment in Japan. It's likely that both the stereo CD and 5.1 surround sound disc will be packaged together as standard.

These tracks are from those that they played during the first half of the shows this year. I really liked all of what I heard, so I can't wait for the album to come out!!

Sweet can't wait!

j_garcia,

Did you go to one of there shows?

 

[j_garcia]

Yes, went to the SF show. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and the new stuff is pretty cool. It seemed heavier than the current stuff, but I think fans will like it.

I haven't heard every album they have done (some are very rare and tape-only releases) my favourite tracks were from the album "In Absentia"

If you like Porcupine tree, you might like the band Katatonia although they sound different they are just as good and have some amazing songs!

I personally like Deadwing better than In Absentia (which I like a lot), and I like these two better than most of the "Stars Die" compilation double cd - that's all I own from them. So it seems that they get better with each release. I hope this holds true for their new album.
They have new U.S. tour dates! I've never seen them live, so I'm quite excited that, after all, they are coming to Chicago.

and btw it's Fear of a BLANK Planet

Yep, tix for the show here went on sale yesterday. After listening to both albums so many times, I find that I like In Absentia better than Deadwing, but both are excellent. I've actually started to like Stupid Dream quite a bit, even though it is more mellow than IA or DW. The 5.1 tracks on all of them are quite phenomenal.

I also noticed that I typed "Black" Planet LOL (which is a Public Enemy album), the PT album is Fear of a BLANK Plantet...
