HOW COME NO ONE HERE EVER TALKS ABOUT PORCUPINE TREE?

Seriously dudes… this band is fucking sick. They channel the spirit of Pink Floyd and Dream Theater, but are neither as trippy as Floyd or masturbatory as Dream Theater, yet somehow manage to rock harder than both. If Ty Tabor from King’s X went off and formed a band with Mike Portnoy it’d probably sound something like this. I was sitting around stoned with some friends last night, and this song came on accidentally on my iTunes; “Shallow” from the album Deadwing. It had been so long since I listened to the Tree that I had completely forgotten about their awesomeness. Enjoy this as you sip your morning coffee.
