Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes off In Absentia

[@kanglongshankz3313]

Amazing song. I mean, they all are tbh

[@Prog4Prog]

Great shout!

[@mfboom3055]

Absentia is amazing, but Deadwing will always be my fave album of theirs.

[@Cvo-581]

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

[@Kipex]

Yeah, a bit more straight forward but killer nonetheless! Really like the visuals the live version has.

[@davidecasareale3594]

Gavin in the outro...

[@Cvo-581]

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

[@alfredpan100]

True

[@NaanProphet]

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.

[@Orphaned03]

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

[@paravarium]

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.

[@jamesmurray5535]

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

[@tomopeth]

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

[@ElLorenSES]

(She waits for me)

[@SurfGreenTelecaster]

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.

[@iys6890]

I love watching your reactions to Porcupine Tree music!

[@atharvakarandikar441]

Porcupine tree : what happens now?

[@alexs1504]

That riff on a tritone is truly satisfying

[@hellesndergaardpetersen8266]

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 😊

[@wingstingz4779]

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

[@taimaalsa1988]

Porcupine tree LOVE

[@zbullfrog96]

The start of something beautiful!!!

[@Zynpar09]

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.

[@juanoconnor1812]

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!💪🏽

[@Orphaned03]

You should listen to Porcupine Tree - My Ashes, it is REALLY similar to No Quarter...

[@juanoconnor1812]

Orphaned03 i agree its a great track and theres strong indications of influence

[@scottarnest8980]

My Ashes is PT's No Quarter imo, just much shorter.

[@84nk5y]

I was going to make a very rare comment so say almost exactly the same thing w.r.t. tracks like No Quarter, so no need to now! I disliked the "no it's not that, it's Pink Floyd" comments for the this reason. Both are clear influences, even if it's more evident in PF's case.

[@Orphaned03]

@@84nk5y SW (and PT) was influenced by many bands, in FOABP he incorporated some LedZep in his music and it turned out beautiful...

[@rwpmusic]

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

[@scottarnest8980]

Time for some Pink Floyd: Welcome to the Machine.

[@edouardmartin4571]

The whole Wish You Were Here album is awesome though

[@abhishekchaubey903]

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

[@m.gideonhoyle409]

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.

[@nickroberts8642]

Riverside - "Ultimate Trip"

[@paravarium]

Although I love the ultimate trip, I've always felt Cybernetic Pillow is a better song to start with, then follow with ultimate. Either way love the band.

[@nickroberts8642]

@@paravarium Everyone seems to have a different opinion lol. I recommended "Driven to Destruction" for a while but people always chimed in with something else

[@BigNeilbug]

"Escalator Shrine" , so many different influences on that track. Riverside are a seriously good band, that only a few reaction channels have reacted to really.

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

[@thehardtruth2014]

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

[@HollowGolem]

I'm a teacher and I play music during my lunch, and allow students in my room. They've reacted to this with surprise considering it's a decade and a half old and they can still relate to it.

[@thehardtruth2014]

@@wiggy009 I think its more to do with loss of direction of society as a whole. Rather than commodification and the so called 'wage slave culture', i think its to do with the loss of a common moral framework, which in the pass has been provided by religion. We lack a common meaning, a common purpose to bind society together hence we see the rise of nihilism. Dont get me wrong, I don't believe in any religion, but you must accept that in the past it has bound certain parts of society together and without an overarching moral framework construct its hard to create a stable long lasting society

[@Hearstbane]

@@thehardtruth2014 Absolutely. Without an objective right or wrong, there is no right or wrong. And with no right and wrong nobody can survive, let alone a whole society.

[@sebaxextremo]

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

[@goldrumble5736]

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.

[@pumpkinking5397]

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.

[@reneskarmyr]

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

Deffo have to be the live version of Slave from Rockefeller Music Hall, that just blew me away when I first heard it.

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

[@BigNeilbug]

Yep get the tissues ready. This and The Raven who refused to sing never fail to make me cry😭

[@daviddonovan6032]

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.

[@kylereece1979]

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.

[@Opranius]

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

[@selueen3028]

And fake backstory bands, some of which he later recreated, for example Incredible Expanding Mindfuck

[@lucasregalmusic]

Open Car - Porcupine Tree

[@SeanD313]

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!)

[@CuruarFormenedhel]

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

[@derekd.4156]

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

[@riveralph3687]

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!"

[@mhagnemae5202]

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.

[@cat-o-matic]

[@SchteveL]

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

[@carloscollantes8793]

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

[@paulallwood1508]

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

[@louiegarcia1848]

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

[@anurag750]

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.

[@jademendesbenucci1963]

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

[@DrewFortune97]

Exactly man, that’s one of the tracks I’ve heard!

[@WardenOfSouls]

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

[@tamhewitt-baker5602]

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

[@pete4656]

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.

[@mfboom3055]

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

[@dfred666dfred666]

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).

[@merlinscat]

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

[@williamreynolds3487]

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.

[@WarrenCromartie2]

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.

[@CO6883-o3c]

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.

[@JuliusAugspurger]

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.

[@walkerwright5977]

People forget that Zeppelin has some pretty progish songs. This definitely has a “No Quarter” feel in places, especially when you paused it.

[@davidearp8854]

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.

[@fmh308]

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.

[@adramalekk]

[@ericlane5949]

RIP Porcupine Tree

[@HevyDevy101]

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

[@Gravityys]

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.
