My Experience:

First let me say, Porcupine Tree is in my Top 5 Bands of all time.

I was first introduced to them through my Bass Player, Michael Schellenberg.

I'll tell you though, I was skeptical. With a name like "Porcupine Tree" I really didn't know what to expect.

I didn't expect to hear some of the most thoughtful lyrics ever written.

And I certainly didn't expect to hear such an insanely awesome Juxtaposition between amazing progressive guitar riffs, and light harmonic sections.

Porcupine Tree rules. Get used to it.

• Amazingly Satisfying Guitar Riffs
• Contrasts between Heavy and Light playing (Hard rock and a Coldplay-type sound)
• Very Progressive (Listen to the Song "Anesthetize")
• Excellent use of Vocal Harmonies (Sometimes even sounds like a choir)

My Favorite Songs
