    The result is an often crushingly heavy masterpiece that has true meaning with or without the music. It's a rare thing these days but Porcupine Tree seem able to do it time and again. This album is no exception.

    Porcupine Tree makes a triumphant return to experimental, non-linear style with 2007's Fear of a Blank Planet.

    A dramatic, wide-screen, expertly executed, even genuinely executed thrilling rock record worthy of an audience way beyond nu-prog's regular constituency. [Apr 2007]

    One of my new favorite bands because of this album, it's awesome. This is an easy 10 and is better than their most recent album IMO. If you like this, I recommend In Absentia or Deadwing.… Expand

    Clearly the best album by progressive rock/metal band porcupine tree. Six tracks which show the best from this band. Any rock or metal fan will like this album if he/she listens it more than once. Its composition is impressive. It is a must-buy so go for it. "Anesthesize" and "Sentimental" are for me the top two songs but the other four are also great.… Expand

    Quite simply, the best Porcupine Tree has to offer. Showcasing some of the best songs they have ever written in (almost) perfect sound quality/mix. It does however lose a little bit of momentum towards the end of the album, but for the most part the tracks contain everything that is good about Porcupine Tree.… Expand
