I like what Dream Theater did with their last few albums: the last note of the previous album was the first of the next. Created some good flow.

There's a 14 minute version of Even Less on an out-takes/unreleased compilation CD, but I prefer this version. That's mainly because I dislike the lyrical content of what was cut from the Stupid Dream version though.

That's terrible. Where's the porn?
Steven Wilson, vocals and guitar, is the heart and soul of PT. The guy's an amazing musician, and crazily prolific too. He always seems to be recording albums for a number of bands/side projects or producing other people's albums. The best part that he's totally self-taught.
Stupid Dream is essentially his criticism of the state of music. The title refers to how a lot of teenage musicians dream of becoming famous, living a comfortable life and playing the music they love to make, but the reality is harshly different to what was really just a "stupid dream".

This is not prog-rock. Far too many acoustic guitars. Pure Narcotic

Steven Wilson doesn't like the term prog rock, he thinks his music is too simple for that label.
I know some people prefer to term PT as "art rock", though whatever the case, after Dream Theater, PT are the darlings of the prog universe at the moment.
The last two Porcupine Tree albums have quite a strong metal influence. The earlier albums are very Pink Floydian. Stupid Dream is in the middle.

Exactly. Behind a giant beat.

If I ever see Porcupine Tree live - which isn't likely unless I'm lucky enough to be in the right part of the Northern Hemisphere at the same time they're touring - I really hope they play Slave Called Shiver just because I can imagine that bass shaking the roof off the venue.

"Don't Hate Me"
Springsteenesque sax solo.

I said it on the original party, and I'll say it again: Bono NEEDS to snippet This Is No Rehearsal at the end of The Fly, as Edge rocks it out.
I've gotta go, yeah, I'm running out change
There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange
But this is no rehearsal
Play it back and throw things at the screen
This is no rehearsal!
Somebody interpret this for me!
This - is - no - rehearsal!
PLAY IT BACK AND THROW - THINGS - AT - THE - SCREEN!
THROW THINGS AT THE SCREEN!
Would've been awesome on Popmart, had U2 played The Fly and had This Is No Rehearsal existed prior to 1999.
