Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes off In Absentia

Porcupine Tree- Way out of here (LIVE) is a gem from this album🙌🏾

Porcupine Tree.... the best band you’ve never heard of....

HATSEONG LIVE GAVIN IS AMAZING AND STEVEN WILL BLOW YOU AWAY THE WHOLE BAND WILL

Once of their lesser known songs but one of my favourites by them - Half light

More PT tracks to react to: Way Out Of Here What Happens Now? Normal Hatesong Don't Hate Me Russia On Ice The Start Of Something Beautiful

Leprous - "Slave" live at Rockefeller 🙏

Drew, this is the opening track of the album that's conceptually based on a medicated teen who's parents don't actually raise him. If you look at the lyrics to Anesthetize again (off the same album), you'll notice the continuing theme.

I might be alone in this request but Caligula's Horse - Dream the Dead is one of the greatest songs released in the last 5 years and the two reactors I've got to do it have put it at the top of their favorite songs ever too.

Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes and Russia On Ice are *must listens*

The Sky Moves Sideways is a pretty underrated Porcupine Tree song...you should react to that one. 🤘👌

The Sky Is Red - Leprous It's time my friend.

Another perfect Porcupine Tree song! ❤️ 👏 🎶 👍 🎧 😍 Your hair color looks good.

Man, you should try "Heart attack in a layby" from their album "In Absentia". It's a beautiful little track

You're absolutely spot on about the Led Zeppelin elements - specifically in the mellow end parts of this track - there is a very similar keyboard sound to Zeppelin's No Quarter. It's an electric piano (Fender Rhodes, or similar) through a rotating Leslie speaker (or an effect emulating a Leslie), which is exactly what was used on No Quarter.

I love watching your reactions to Porcupine Tree music!

Will you react to hatesong live by PorcupineTree. It will blow you away with the virtuosity.

Steven Wilson - Home Invasion\Regret #9

Porcupine tree LOVE

That riff on a tritone is truly satisfying

I can recommend PT:”Time Flies” (the full 11 min. version from the album “The incident”) one of my fave songs by them. But they have sooo many awsome ones to choose from 😊

I also hear the similarities and influence to tracks like no quarter, ten years gone and in the light, zeppelin definitely had a psychedelic aspect however its often overshadowed by the hard blues rock tracks and epic folk ballads. You should really check out to pink floyd tho, i think youll notice the influence is even heavier! Dogs, echoes, breathe, time and comfortably numb are some great starter tracks to get you started. Great videos man, keep up the good work!💪🏽

Riverside - "Ultimate Trip"

Leprous. Please🙏🏻 You will please a lot of fans. And I bet you will enjoy it as well, because Leprous is Fu..... amazing!

Porcupine tree : what happens now?

Time for some Pink Floyd: Welcome to the Machine.

The start of something beautiful!!!

I love that you do Porcupine Tree reactions. This band is so good, nice balance of metal, prog and emotional feels. Good point you made when you referenced Led Zepplin btw.

Mate, you got to react to Routine. It`s Steven Wilson`s masterpiece. Cheers from Brasil.

Loved your little reaction to the phrase "I'm through with pornography" Such a guy thing to say, lmao! I'm with ya!!!😂😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘🤘 Edit: it's not fair when people "tell" you what you hear in music. They must not understand the point of music itself. It's a chance for the artist to let everyone feel as they feel. The beauty of music is everyone can interpret it differently but still be moved by it. You're right Drew. There is no "wrong" answer. Just as in my heart I truly feel there is no such thing as "bad" music. It just depends on what everyone's preferences are. To each there own. If It moves you, that's all that matters. But since your listening to Porcupine Tree at the moment, may I suggest "Open Car" and "Shallow". If you haven't done them already, of course.

Dark Matter live in Tillman is awesome!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! MY EYES! The Hair what a "Halo"! Is this the "Start of Something Beautiful" ?! JUHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! MY EARS! It's Porcupine Tree! :D

Don't know if anybody told you, but Steven Wilson is also a world-class album remixer. He specializes in classic prog bands, including King Crimson, Yes, Gentle Giant and Jethro Tull. The man has the touch.

Porcupine Tree- What Happens now, Dark Matter both from Anesthetize live dvd

Steven Wilson - Routine (Official Video) Little Tybee - Tuck my tail

what a rare gem this band is , cool reaction as always mate can't wait for more Steven Wilson reactions

You’re getting the Zep vibe whenever you hear the warbly sounding electric piano. ‘No Quarter’ vibes.

Badass song all around. Amazing album. I’d recommend routine by Steven Wilson if you get the chance. With the video. Phenomenal song.

Way out of here (live at tillburg) is a MUST on the PT/Gavin Harrison journey

this is my favorite song and album of porcupine tree. the album was heavily influenced by Bret Easton Ellis' novel Lunar Park which is about the the life of the teenagers in the 21st century with all of their disorders.

Open Car - Porcupine Tree

The song is more about the nihilism of youth of our era, where meaning seems to have been lost. I feel like this song is relatable for a lot of young people as the feeling of no direction is quite commonplace

You must listem to Home invasion/Regret #9 Steven Wilson. It's a perfect coworking with Guthrie Govan.

Dream Theater: Count of Tuscany, Octavarium Steven Wilson: Routine, Ancestral Opeth: Burden, Dignity, Eternal Rains will Come

Yes!! Though very different rock sound, PT and LZ share their guitarr riff ostinatos - so cool!!

The beginning was the sound of a game controller clicking- there are video game-esque references in the song and throughout the album

Amazing video Drew keep it up ❤️ Love from Syria

TesseracT - "Dystopia"

Still my favorite Pocupine album. So good

Nice!! The live version from Tillburg is awesome as well. Listen to Keeper of The Seven Keys by Helloween.

First listen tonite to this. Again, its cool checking out new tunes meself like this here. Many tanks. Lots of passages and avenues to go to with this song- I like the rock out riffs here and there. By the way- with the Taoiseach announcing some changes of the lockdown as of nxt Tuesday, - over 70s can go out, the distance alloud away from home to 5km,- its gonna be interesting to see how the nxt coupla weeks goes for us. I hope for some hopeful results, man. Tanks again for the review, reaction. Stay safe in Áth Claith.

At last! ^_^ Thank you for listening to this song. ^_^

Drum fill at 10:20 has to be one of the greatest drum fils of all time. Especially because it is also a pivot, where the songs completely changes

Fun fact: Steven Wilson startet PT as a "fake band" with fake band members. :D

Drew, I think part of what is reminding you of Led Zeppelin may the keyboard sound. It sounds very similar to the keyboard sound LZ used, especially in their song 'No Quarter.' (And it instantly made me think of Led Zeppelin when I first heard Porcupine Tree, so I'm with you on that!)

Nice! The first PT track I ever heard. Highly recommend Heart Attack In a Layby, Collapse the Light Into Earth, Way Out of Here, Time Flies, Russia On Ice, Shesmovedon, Deadwing, and Blackest Eyes. All real "stoaters!"

Yes finally! This whole album is great, kicked off by this excellent track.

Porcupine Tree- Bonnie The Cat and right afterwards: Opeth- The grand Conjugoration

"i got tired of playing with myself" Same bro

I saw this incredible band live at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA., years ago. They opened for Yes. Nobody knew who they were. They brought the house down. Been a huge fan since.

Great reaction again Drew. I would suggest "The Start of Something Beautiful" by Porcupine Tree.

Hey Drew, sup? Ever notice that Steven Wilson always performs live in bare feet? Lol The more you know

Why are there so few comments about Deadwing??? I think Deadwing is their best album by far!!! Arriving Somewhere is such a brilliant song!

Start of Something Beautiful, Sound of Muzak, Time Flies, Lip of Ashes & Dark Matter please!!

Talking of Pink Floyd, you have to try Comfortably Numb at some stage! One of the great tracks of all time imo

Some early PT stuff is VERY psychedelic - I love Jupiter Island. A strange song that not all like the sound of. It comes from an album called On the sunday of life I think it was a home made job or a mixture but definitely at the start of SW's creative journey in Music and Music Engineering experimentation. - link below /watch?v=DPy3DegmhM0

As for the intro, it’s part of the theme of the this particular album of ADHD/prescription pill addiction as well as internet/gaming addiction. Steven is a huge critic of the Web 2.0 generation. Similar themes can be seen it Anesthetize’s official video. Check it out.

'You still a gun, to kill time' fantastic...

Who disliked this video? Come on, own up!

Gavin Harrison is now playing with Pineapple Thief (have to be careful when saying PT for obvious reasons). He has an amazing RU-vid video showing his playing on their track White Mist, which you may like to try out.

Great reaction Drew. And well thought out as well to go for the lyric video. Makes a whole lot of difference to know what the lyrics are. Next suggestion would be Steven Wilson - "The Watchmaker" or "The Holy Drinker" live.

btw: Gavin Harrison is a hell of a drummer... most of the times he tries to play common stuff just different... does a lot of technical stuff and nobody notices the odd time signatures or insane cymball-fills

steven wilson says that is pinfloyd ish

Love that you try to explain the Led Zeppelin "feeling". Main reason for that feeling is (I believe) the Mellotron. It's an instrument that Steven is very passionate about (even has a song called Mellotron Scratch).

You should check out Death Whispered a Lullaby by Opeth. Steven Wilson wrote the lyrics for it, and he produced the guitars and vocals for the entire album, Damnation.

Pink Floyd is the next big one ! Comfortably Numb, Breathe, Money, Echoes, ... So many great tracks !

Hi Drew, your comments regarding certain elements sounding like Led Zepplin in my opinion is correct, I am old enough to of been listening to Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd since 1970 and I can clearly hear elements of both Led Zepplin and Pink floyd throughout many of Porcupine Tree's tracks. I have always liked this style of music and I think thats why I appreciate Porcupine Trees music so much, because to me it feels warm and familiar but there is plenty of variation in there to also make it fresh, exciting and new.

When I was a kid, my hair would turn from a medium brown to that color during summer. Lots of sunlight and chlorinated pool water. 🏊‍♂️

You should react to Close to the edge by yes. It's a masterpiece!

That Led Zeppelin vibes comes cos there a similarity with the song “No quartear” Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy . You see it right on the begining of Zep’s song

If u never reacted to Pink Floyd, I would love to watch a reaction to dOGS or Shine on your Crazy Diamond ❤️❤️❤️ Nice haircut btw 🖖

I can where your journey is heading musically at the moment. You should check out the following as I think it would help your metal journey a lot... Soen - savia /Katatonia - dead Letters / Anethema - release /Paradise Lost - no hope in sight / My Dying Bride - your broken shire...

The whole of the incident is worth checking out particularly Time flies

one of the most iconic PT Songs i think. Atleast well known. I will never get bored of it :)

Porcupine Tree - Shesmovedon, The Sound of Muzak Blackfield - Blackfield, Pain (another Steven Wilson's side project) Mike Oldfield - Nuclear Riverside - Left Out Soen - Covenant, Lotus

If you're getting into the epic length songs, check out Milliontown by Frost* It's not as heavy as some of the stuff you've been watching, but their "Neo-Prog" style is truly wonderful. Especially in songs like Milliontown.

Steven Wilson - First regret/3 years older. Do it!

I came to discover PT quite late, and FOABP was the first album I heard. I loved it to bits and played it to death for weeks on end, and then never played it again. I felt like I had got everything out of it that I was going to. In Absentia and Deadwing on the other hand, I keep going back to. After watching some of your reactions I will revisit FOABP. It is a great prog metal/heavy prog album, although the themes depress me no end.

I know all these songs like the back of my hand. I know on forehand when you are going to smile. Gavin makes you smile a lot. Do try Dark Matter from Signify and Regret #9 from Hand Cannot Erase, either with or without home invasion. Hand Cannot Erase is a total masterpiece. It just doesn’t compare.

For the out of body experience, try the early PT and tracks like Mute, No reason to live No reason to die, Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape. Haven't seen those mentioned yet, would really love to see reaction to one of those.

Heilung - Krisgaldr LIVE

What a song this is 🤘

Too Much to Lose by the Pineapple Thief

Regarding your Zeppelin comment @Drew Fortune - there's a riff about 3/4 of the way through the song 'Prodigal' that has always reminded me of Zep. Be interesting to see if you think the same...and also the strings at the end of 'Sleep Together' which as I've mentioned before is another great track

So I randomly discovered on Spotify an Irish Folk singer named David Keenan. There's a song by him called 'The Friary' that's pretty awesome. Not sure if Folk is your cup of tea. It's not really mine either but this song did it for me. P.S. Amongst everything else, there's a PT song called Jupiter Island. It's an old one of theirs and it's a weird experience with headphones.

Great song. Live version is even better.

Airbag- Homesick! Epic track!

Steven Wilson - Ancestral -Also the lyrics of the song make allot more sense once you understand the concept idea of the album and the inspirations behind it.

RIP Porcupine Tree
