Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (iTunes Version)
Porcupine Tree used to be a moniker for a one-man band comprised only of Steven Wilson. His earlier outings were marvellously psychedelic, revelling in Floyd-esque techniques to lure the general public to his music. But as his influences grew and Porcupine Tree began to have more full-time members, and quit being a Wilson solo project, the band slowly changed towards a more rock and progressive sound that would dominate their later releases. In Absentia is one such release and it showcases a lot of variety. The Pink Floyd influences are not altogether gone from the scene, they definitely have remained, in such Pieces as Lips of Ashes or .3, but Steven Wilson's genre has become more refined and explored different types of music. In Absentia truly has metal riffs, which can be attributed to his work with Swedish metal giants Opeth, and some other riffs (like the one in Blackest Eyes) are very reminiscent of Tool's staccato guitar techniques as well.
