I didn't exactly like seeing this quote, but it sort of confirmed some
things I've thought about the more recent PT stuff:
----
Steven, in all of your projects, the sound keeps evolving continually.
Is this the approach for Blackfield as well or is Blackfield more of an
outlet for making strong, melodic and emotional pop songs now that PT
and No-Man have gone in other (more experimental) directions?
anonymous
STEVEN: Yes, very much so – I feel that in a way Blackfield have
liberated Porcupine Tree to be more intense and experimental. As to how
Blackfield will evolve, I’m unsure - I think the band is very committed
to continuing to create quality melodic, melancholic pop.
----
Maybe that's why I've yet to find anything compelling about "The
Incident". I suppose I'll just be looking forward to Blackfield III at
this point.
In other news, was this ever posted (it's related to an upcoming movie
that Neil's raving about)?

I want to see them live on this tour but I don't want to sit thru most of
the first 55 minutes of the setlist. They're playing the entire album.

I listened to The Incident for the first time this evening. Absolutely nothing
jumped out at me.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a
delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |

It was totally worth it. The new material sounds awesome live. |

I think ole Steve's been influenced by the Mars Volta. The Incident is
compositional in nature like a Mars Volta album. If this is where PT is
heading I'm not following.
If I wanted TMV I'd buy a TMV album.
Lee, who thinks TMV has gotten a little stale lately too. |

Me neither on first listen, but as I've been keeping it on my playlist
for a couple of weeks now it's really starting to grow on me.
Have you heards SW's solo album Insurgentes?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurgentes_%28album%29
I'm getting to quite like that too. |

The Incident is growing on me as well. It has some strong tracks. One
thing I have to mention is the song Time Flies. It has certain
musical similarities to the Pink Floyd song Dogs that are rather
striking. I can't figure out if it is a tribute or a ripoff. I
certainly don't think it was a coincidence. |

It maybe influential but it hardly sounds like Floyd. The whole package
sounds like PT. There's too much influence from several areas to pinpoint
it to one band. |

Time Flies is autobiographical. Pink Floyd's "Animals" was a SW
favorite growing up, and the musical similarities from the song Sheep
(rather than Dogs) is intentional.
