"Fear of a Blank Planet" is sooo good, "Arriving somewhere but not here" is gold, "The start of something beautiful" also... Man I love Porcupine Tree

Porcupine Tree is pure ear candy.

Gavin Harrison on drums. An absolute monster.

Bro porcupine tree and Steven Wilson will be a big long rabbit hole. It's all good, and all a little different depending on the album

WHAT? Porcupine Tree! GIVE US MORE!

You are starting to listen to everything I listen too. Opeth, Tool, PorcupineTree/Steven Wilson, Gojira. List goes on. Honestly, I have no idea what to recommend from Steven Wilson because everything he writes is a masterpiece on it’s own. I could talk your ear off on this guy. I really encourage you to keep pursuing his music.

If you like porcupine tree and Steven Wilson then we are friends.

crazy how this has been out for years now and finally getting some sort of noise....people finally wkaing up to good music.

Opeth's singer, and Steven Wilson did a project called 'Storm Corrosion' . It's super chillout stoney dreamy music. Maybe not ideal for reaction video. But, an amazing masterpiece as well.

“This is euphoric”, the best way to describe this band. Keep up the good work Drew

Just for the record, Alex Lifeson from Rush plays the solo in this song

PT fans, vote this up! Try these next (in chronological order, in case you want to observe their evolution): -"Wake as Gun I" and "Dark Matter" off of 'Signify' (1996) -"Trains" and "The Sound of Muzak" - 'In Absentia' (2002) - this album is what a lot of fans and critics consider their masterpiece and it's where my personal journey started "Arriving Somewhere but not Here" - 'Deadwing' (2005) "Way Out of Here" and "Sentimental" - 'Fear of a Blank Planet' (2007) "Time Flies" and "The Blind House" - 'The Incident' (2009) You won't regret any of those. They've been around a while before those suggestions. Since 2011, unfortunately, they have disbanded, but remain one of THE progressive giants. Steven Wilson has a side project called Blackfield that would be worth checking out as well, and I believe he still writes for it. Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth and Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree are friends, and have collaborated before (see Storm Corrosion; suggested track: "Storm Corrosion"). That's probably why you were flooded with all the suggestions, mine incuded. Welcome to Porcupine Tree man! If you don't react to any of those, at least listen to them on your own time. They'll take you places.

You're gonna end up in a serious PT rabbit hole now 😂 such a good band to stumble upon. I'm so jealous.

Please watch “way out of here” live. It’s amazing. The entire anesthetize concert is crazy good.

"Arriving Somewhere" and "Trains" are must-listens. Also, nobody knows them these days, but I *strongly* suggest Echolyn - Speaking In Lampblack. It's not heavy, but it's prog genius that moves you. Great stuff, sir.

"Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" or "Russian on Ice" next please.

LEPROUS - Slave live at Rockefeller Music Hall :)

Live Version of Anesthetize is a must

Gavin is the cleanest drummer i've ever listened. Every fill, every ghost notes/pressed roll, every splash. Perfect. Simply perfect. When you listen PT or Steven, it's an experience, and you stay smiling and crying at the same time.

Sentimental - The next song on the album is a perfect follow up to this song.

Haven't heard this track in such a long time and was smiling throughout the whole video. The song and your reaction to it made me so happy!

This song is perfect for night driving, put this on and drive the coast road from Clontarf to Howth, you'll thank me!

Also, the drummer Gavin Harrison is an absolute BEAST. any of his drum clinics are worth a watch

you should check Steven Wilson - Routine, the official video

Glad you enjoyed it. Porcupine Tree has some real treasures in their discography.

We doing Porcupine tree now? Russia On Ice is a must.

Steven Wilson is a genius.

I first heard this song in 2011, when I was 18. As the song progressed, my emotions ran the entire range of human feelings. I didn't even think it was possible for a single song to have that effect on someone. Ever since that first listen, I couldn't stop. To say that Anesthetize hits me right in the feels, and is one of the best songs ever would somehow only begin to describe how I feel about it.

Porcupine Tree - official best band you never heard of.

You absolutely need to react to the live version it's just mind blowing! if not then I'd highly recommend fear of a blank planet and blackest eyes by the same band!

Seven Wilson - Routine ❤ or The Raven That Refused to Sing

"Russia on Ice" is another masterpiece by these guys. Steven Wilson's genius is endless (He's their frontman and primary songwriter)

Opeth - A fair Judgement! As for Porcupine Tree - Russia on Ice! And, as usual, consider some Mastodon!! :)

Arriving somewhere but not here - Porcupine Tree

Porcupine Tree is gold. Ans also Steven Wilson solo album really great. He is the god of modern progressive rock music.

this song never fails to give me goosebumps

Broooo I've been commenting for MONTHS to do a Porcupine Tree reaction!!! THANK YOU!!! This is gonna make me join your patreon, definitely. You should react to the song Arriving Somewhere But Not Here from the DVD Arriving Somewhere....

this song has maybe my favourite hook I've ever heard in any song ever..."It's all in ME, all in you" I'll never not have the biggest smile I've ever smiled on my face whenever I hear it :P (have to say though the title track is my favourite overall on the album)

Steven Wilson- Drive Home, Steve Wilson is the guy Behind this band and behind making opeth’s albums, at least their more recognized ones

Their masterpiece and one of the greatest songs ever. Steven Wilson is a musical genius. When you say that in certain parts they sound like Zeppelin, they actually sound more like Pink Floyd in those parts. You definitely need to check out the live version of this song. It's even better live.

I feel fulfilled thanks to this video. Your next step is trying out Ne Obliviscaris, more specifically the song And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope.

Drew, if you liked this song so much I think you will really appreciate "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" from Porcupine Tree. It is another long track full of arrangements and a beautiful solo by Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth. Other songs I would recommend are "Ancestral" and "Luminol" from Steven Wilson and "The Czar", "The Last Baron" or "Sleeping Giant" from Mastodon.

The Watchmaker by Steven Wilson (the brain behind this band)

Fear of a blank planet full album pleeeaaaase! This is a true masterpiece!!!

Also strongly recommend you to listen Vola - band from Denmark. Especially the last album. So great.

Trains for sure, Arriving somewhere, Shesmovedon, Sentimental ,Sound of Muzak...

Porcupine Tree are huge! They have been around since early 90's I think. I first listened to them around '98, the album 'The sky moves sideways' and an amazing live album 'Coma Divine'. Oh man you have to listen to this live album!

Watch this live and you'll see the madness from Galvin Harrison, the Drummer.

I'd love to see Steven Wilson's reaction on this reaction

Porcupine Tree. Awesome. Great performance, top notch production. And man, Gavin Harrison drumming. He's in my top 5 drummers right next to TOOLs Danny Carey. Different but awesome as well. Anesthesize is a song I had to have on repeat for days in the beginning to get all the small details. Awesome track. Good job. Keep it up. Stay safe.

Daddy Akerfeldt and Mama Wilson always bring it.

check out Reptile - Periphery from their album last year, it's a true masterpiece!

Porcupine Tree! Heartattack In A Layby! You will go insane...

One of the most underated prog bands for sure!

If you want to experience a lucid dream, listen to Steven Wilson's "Drive Home".

Aahh yes, Steven Wilson, the most successful musician you've never heard of

Drew, I'm overjoyed you have stumbled on this dude. All of his music is this detailed and amazing. Look up the album Occam's Razor!

Great reaction! To experience Steven Wilson's talent and musicality in full just go for this one next :: Steven Wilson - Luminol (from the Get All You Deserve Blu-Ray & DVD) or Steven Wilson - Home Invasion /Regret #9 full HD 1080p live from [Home Invasion Live 2018 BLUERAY CD

So, finally you've got to the Porcupine Tree stage.

Whatever you’re gonna hear from Porcupine Tree or Steven Wilson will be the best thing in your life.

Wow Devin Townsend AND Porcupine Tree in the same day. Your getting into top tier musicians. I wish I could coach you lol. The Live version of this in Tilburg is just mindbogglingly magnificent. Their Drummer Gavin Harrison is an absolute legend.

Watching Porcupine Tree live is a must if only because of Colin Edwin, the happiest bass player in the world!

Just deep dive on Porcupine Tree dude, they are absolutely incredible!

Delightful surprise you discovered Porcupine Tree. The live version is indeed stunning. The band are master musicians.I concur with others:" "Arriving Somewhere" is a great track. I really like "Dark Matter" and "She's Moved On" too.

Strapping Young Lad - Love? Caligula's Horse - Dream the Dead Evergrey - Fear Lamb of God - Ghost Walking (odd one out here but so good!)

Welcome to the party! Also be sure to check out Steven Wilson's solo work. I think you would dig the songs Home Invasion/ Regret Number 9, Luminol, The Watch Maker, and Remainder the Black Dog.

This is my favorite song, of any band.

Like Tool, Pink Floyd and Zep.

If you like the more mellow last part of this track, you HAVE to check out the following by Porcupine Tree: Mellotron scratch, Dark matter, Lazarus, Russia on ice, and most of the Deadwing album in general. Actually, if you ever feel like taking on a whole album, Deadwing and In Absentia are essential listening. Fear of a blank planet and The Incident too. And Steven Wilson's solo albums as well. Steven has the Midas touch, man.

Do Caligula’s Horse- Dream the Dead up next, it’s an absolute progressive masterpiece

I just listened to this song for the first time while watching this video, and I have to say, it has been awhile since I've felt chills like this song made me feel. Thank you so much for reacting!

Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth, Arriving Somewhere, Lazarus, Trains, Shallow and Deadwing are all bangers as well. Other artist/songs you should check out is The Ocean - Devonian: Nascent and Katatonia, either the songs Last Song Before the Fade, Shifts or Hypnone

One of the best Musical Drummers on the Planet in that Band. He is not just rhythm he also gives emotions and melodies to Songs. He is basically a Prog-Version of a Pocket-Drummer. Like a Prog-Steve Gadd :D my 2nd favourite drummer alive currently

saw Porcupine Tree and Opeth in Seattle - was a pretty amazing concert.

Trains and Sound of Muzak by Porcupine Tree

"This is euphoric" Perfect definition there 🔥

React to Drive home - Steven Wilson. Amongst the amazing composition you'll also get a taste of one of the greatest guitarists "Guthrie Govan". You'll get an idea when you hear the solo.

I get depressed whenever i remember they broke up

this is one of my favourite songs ever. i get the same uncontrollable emotion and feelings, non stop smiling and even bopping the groove of it. such a masterpiece. Cheers!

Had the widest smile throughout the whole video, the goosebumps and seeing that track hit you brought back vivid memories of seeing them for the first time ever playing this back in 2007. Goosebumps. goosebumps.

So many great parts to this song. The mid section with the heavy guitar going left, right is so mean and then the light major Rhodes sounding piano on top of it is genius. The mixing of those emotions there are what they were so good at. Epic piece of work.

big love from Belfast! so wholesome watching you react to this, it's such a great song!

I love PT so much. Amazing live. Been a fan for over 20 years.

8:43 I felt the exact same thing the first time I heard that groove

You would also enjoy a band called Oceansize ... very much in the same progressive art rock vein.

I feel like he would like Katatonia as well.

First heard this track two years ago. Probably only the fourth or fifth PT song I'd ever heard. I'm sixty years old, so I've heard pretty much everything there is to hear. But this thing has my jaw in my lap every time I listen to it, and I listen to it A LOT. I have NEVER been so blown away by a band or a piece of music...EVER. Such a fucking joy!

Definitely one of my favorite bands ever, I love it

One of the best reactions I've ever seen. Love that you enjoyed it so much

It's my favorite Album of all time see my Icon and Steven Wilson is the Beethoven of our time all his Albus are different and even his B Stuff is better then 99% of other Artists Music. Check out Neil Recuring the Songs who did not fit on fear of a blank Planet

Dig a little farther back to "Stars Die", and then "Dark Matter", both studio tho, hard to play live. Mellow, ethereal... awesome guitar solo end of D.M. Loved your reactions tho, same as mine ten years ago.😉

Honestly everything by porcupine tree/Steven Wilson is genius imo. From here I would say the best direction to go would be “blackest eyes” or “halo”, not as proggy as this but definitely shows their skills in making kickass ‘single’-style songs

First time popping into this channel, but your excitement for a band I'm familiar with, is amazing. Easy subscription! I'm looking forward to what else you'll discover and share with us! See you around!

You are gonna love the live version dude!

There are many, MANY exceptional Porcupine Tree songs, all varying in style, length and landscape. I've loved (nay, adored) them since I was 11 and have hit the ripe old age of 32. No other band has held my attention as whole heartedly as Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson. Glad you enjoyed :)

Thanks for doing Porcupine Tree, Been enjoying your videos the last couple of weeks and thought only a matter of time before you start doing Porcupine Tree. Glad you started with song. Plenty of other Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson solo work to go threw!

You've gotta watch the live version of this from Tilburg!

Your little “ooh hoo” at the beginning of Part Two of the song was exactly how I reacted. I grooved to the midsection.

I like how his face goes from intrigued to 'i don't know where this is going' to totally into it. Brilliant piece of music to react to 🔥
