I fucking love Porcupine Tree... saw them live with Opeth about a month ago. Just mind-boggling. They make some of the most inventive, incredible music that I've ever heard... and their lead singer is just GENIUS when it comes to producing... he produced the latest Opeth album, and did a BRILLIANT job. They're really an incredible band, and it's a shame that they get so little recognition. They have a video of their latest album, In Absentia, but it only gets played on MTV2 on the "Extreme Rock" block which only happens 1 day a week at 2AM... It's an outstanding video, too (for the song Strip the Soul), better than most of the crap that DOES get played there. Also, the song is inexplicably censored on there, the word "Kill" being blanked out. What the point of that is is beyond me. It just annoys me that great bands like this are avoiding recognition while terrible, cliched, uninventive bands *COUGHLINKINPARKCOUGH* are getting so much attention all the time.
Ugh.
