Some artists are too good to be ignored. Porcupine Tree's architect Steven Wilson is one of them. After a long and fruitful career built on a crystalline guitar sound and atmospheric melodies, Steven influenced Opeth and helped them to record the distinctive "Damnation" album. Ever since, his name is on every metalhead's lips despite being more of a rock artist. Porcupine Tree's 2005 offering, "Deadwing", was nothing short of a masterpiece and "Fear of a Blank Planet" follows in the same footsteps. Read more ›› |

I really don't get the hype around this band. This is a good album, sure, but in the top 50?

Written by nonZero on 22.09.2020 at 16:41 I'd give it a 9, which would put it within the top 50 albums of all time. Anesthetize in my opinion is one of the greatest prog songs of all time.

Written by Desha on 05.07.2022 at 14:25 It is kinda off nowadays even though it was aimed at young adolescents (Which are cringe by definition). Just pretend he says tiktok and it Will be all right again. But yeah, its near impossible to make a song about adolescent culture without sounding like a boomer. Probably because We all sucked at that age.

It was released on this day in 2007. Seventeen years have passed. The centerpiece of the album is 17 minutes long. Some albums can change lives, while others can actually save them. I feel like this album did both for me. I can no longer remember the depths of despair I was lost in when I discovered this album. It’s probably for the best. The darkness is fading, Fear Of A Blank Planet grows stronger.

I haven't listened to this album in years. I just enjoyed the previous albums more, especially In Absentia and Deadwing. Considering the constant praise it gets, I should give it another chance when time allows it.
