Porcupine Tree

preslusao sam album pazljivo (hm...dovoljno pazljivo u svakom slucaju) i vreme je za

 

NO BULLSHIT REVIEW

 

za slucaj da ove stranice pohodi i neko koga zanima objektivan prikaz, a ne samo hvalospevi od onih koji ovaj bend iz nekog razloga obozavaju.

 

Ja taj razlog nisam bas provalio, ali sam blizi ovim albumom. Ovo je jedini (a cuo sam tri, In Absense Dementia, ovaj i jos jedan cijeg se naziva kao i muzike ne secam) koji mi se zapravo svidja ako izuzmemo cinjenicu da su prve dve i poslednja pesma (Fear Of A Blank Planet, My Ashes, Sleep Together) jednostavno lose. dosadne. nemelodicne. pointless.

Ostatak (Anesthetize, Sentimental i Way Out Of There) su vrlo prijatne za slusanje. Primecujem veliko kopiranje Pink Floyda koji to radi bolje i novije Katatonije koja to takodje radi bolje. Na najboljoj pesmi na albumu (ne, nakon pomnijeg slusanja utvrdio sam da je Anesthetize iako sjajna, ipak daleko od ove pesme po necemu sto cu da nazovem faktor "iskrenosti") - Way Out Of There, Porcupine Tree zapravo zvuci iskreno, melanholicno i intimno without sounding gay sto je za svaku pohvalu. Ova pesma je nesto sto bih mogao slusati neogranicen broj puta. Na momente se oseti na Novembre i mezimce im Klimt 1918 (koji isti efekat postizu sa kracim kompozicijama). Inace, na celom albumu je majstorski odradjena nenametljiva pratnja, ali bi vokal mogao da zvuci bolje jer IMHO se na momente razilazi sa muzikom (ako uporedimo sa recimo Jonasovim glasom koji je apsolutna osnova Katatonijinog zvuka na koji se Blackheim fantasticno nadovezuje). Ne znam da li je pevac bitan faktor u komponovanju ili bi ga se mogli otarasiti.

Ceo album je protkan izvesnim bubble efektom - repetitivni eho efekat na gitari sa nekom modulacijom koja izaziva vizuelni odziv mehurica koji u dubokoj vodi hrle ka povrsini.

E sad sto je ovo progressive? Nemam pojma. Ovo bi ja definisao kao Dark Rock, Melancholic Rock ili tako nesto.

Pa ako ima velikog kopiranja Pink Floyd-a onda nece biti ovo gore navedeno,vec neki psyhodelic/progressive rock :rolleyes: ,mada i sam Wilson je u gore vec pomenutom intervju rekao:

Svaka čast za muda da popljuješ ovako dobar bend :)

 

nisam popljuvao. album mi se svidja, slusacu ga jos mnogo puta (ima 3 bas dobre pesme) samo ne kapiram toliki hype. svi ga obozavaju, pisu hvalospeve (sto jeste problem muzickog novinarstva - ako je popularno, onda mora da valja, daj da ga nahvalimo!), a ja ne kapiram zasto.

pa pink floyd i nisu u to vreme zvali progressive rock, nego psychedelic/space rock :), ali ovde ima prizvuka iz onih mirnijih/obicnijih/nonpsychedelic pesama Flojda.

 

Ne znam, meni bas kod PT-a fali identitet. Uzmem da slusam i odmah mi se javlja Pink Floyd/Katatonia/Klimt 1918.

 

poslusacu i starije albume opet, pa cu imati jasniju sliku.

Ne znam,meni iskreno Katatonia nema nikakve weze s`wezom kad je u pitanju PT...sto se tice Pink Floyd-a to je zasigurno,jer je i Wilson odrastao na njihove ploche ;)

 

A da PT-ju po meni ne fali indentitet,sa odredjenim brojem albuma kao recimo In Absentia,The Sky Moves Sideways,Deadwing...su ga zaista napravili i sto je najbitnije prepoznatljivost je dosla kroz njihovu muziku i po meni sjajnih tekstova Stevena Wilson-a....a ako se misli na indentitet u uzem smilsu,znachi generisnje ovakvog benda u neki odredjeni zanr onda ne znam dje bi ih smjestio jer opet kao sto Wilson reche :

 

To be honest,I don't like classifying music it at all. I don't like the idea of Porcupine Tree as a generic band.I like to believe that we have ambition, that we have scope, that we're an eclectic banD. B)

a i Blackwater Park moze da ocita lekciju bilo cemu od PT-a sto sam do sada cuo....doduse, ukusi su razliciti.

Hehe, Akerfeldt se prvi ne bi slozio sa tobom :bigblue:

 

 

 

Inace, gledao sam ih u Londonu pre par nedelja i moram da kazem da su stvarno nevidjeni uzivo! Zvuk prosto savrsen, ogroman stage, video projekcije (nije da sam preveliki fan Lasse Holle-ovog rada, malo je previse ocigledan za moj ukus, ali stvarno dobro ide uz PT muziku) i odlican izbor pesama...

 

Takodje, Fear of The Blank Planet im je prvi hit album - zadnji put kad sam gledao bili su 31. na top40 najprodavanijih albuma u Britaniji, tu negde oko Nelly Furtado :D

 

I za kraj, ne znam da li je neko pomenuo ranije ali Wilson ce producirati sledeci album Orphaned Land-a ... (on je sada prakticno Izraelac :) ) Can you say - Best Album Ever? :rockdevil:

 

Pozdrav!

Porcupine Tree release a new EP/mini-album in September called "Nil Recurring". It will feature 4 tracks (just under 30 minutes of music) that were written during the Fear of a Blank Planet sessions, including the title track featuring Robert Fripp on guitar, and "Cheating the Polygraph", which was premiered on the 2006 tour, but subsequently left off the Fear of a Blank Planet album. More news on availability of the EP soon.

e nesto me muci vec duze vreme...

Treca pesma sa novog albuma, Anesthetize, ima nekakvo sustanje u intervalu 2'54''-3'28''.

E sad da li je to tako stvarno na albumu?? Skinuo sam nekoliko razlicitih ripova (320kbs, 192kbs, vrb, itd...) i na svima je isto, samo me zanima zasto se to nalazi na albumu i da li i vama smeta...

Jeste stvarno je na albumu (barem je i kod meni tako :) ),meni je u početku smetaLo,ali sto sam je više puta preslušao,shvatio sam da je to vjerovatno neki pokušaj da se dočara neka depresivnost koja prati ovu pjesmu kroz text,a i ne znam na Anesthetize svoj guitar solo je prepušten sjajnom Alex Lifeson-u,pa se igrao malo i prije toga... :bigblue:

Ja ne postah ovde koliko vidim...pa ajde da gi nafalim ukratko.

 

Elem..maestralan bend. Lichno vishe volem psihodelija radove i nije mi se bash svidela metalizacija koja je prisutna na zadnjih par albuma, ali nema je toliko, tako da i nije neshto shto odvraca mlogo paznje. Jedino "Signify" josh nisam slushao, ali ispravice se i to..ali i chuh neke pesme odatle na Coma-i. Anyway, dakle prva tri albuma - uzivancija za chula, sa naglaskom na prvi, "Jupiter Island" i "Radioactive Toy" su mi medju 3 fav PT pesme, a treca je "Piano Lessons". Nikad se necu zasititi tom pesmom. Sto se tiche "kasnijeg" perioda PTa, Stupid Dream uzima lovorike. Neverovatan album, i jedino su mu prishli, IMHO, sa FOABP, koji mi ulazi medj najbolja ovogodishnja izdanja..
