Porcupine Tree’s IN ABSENTIA | Album Breakdown & Review (Record Club #54)
In a second Record Club this week, Jake, Morgan, Saoirse, and Tyler take some time to discuss the second of two post-9/11 albums in our lineup this week, and a landmark record very near and dear to all our hearts’: Porcupine Tree’s prog metal pivot In Absentia! We discuss Steven Wilson’s concept and approach with the shift this album represents, the addition of titanic drummer Gavin Harrison into the band, and of course the songs themselves.
Let us know what you think of this record in the comments below!
