Nice reaction Drew. Continue down the Porcupine tree/Steven Wilson route. You now have more than 75k subscribers. Congratulations. You will reach 100k fast, better start aiming even higher. Cheers man.
This is one of the best songs i ever heard: deep lyrics, mesmorizing melody, fantastic harmonies, headbanging metal, contrasts. This song is in my personal top 5!
Fun Fact: Opeth’s The Drapery Falls had Steven Wilson I’m backing vocals, and this song has Mikael Akerfeldt on backing vocals (in the ah-ah-ah-ah bit)
Actually, many songs from Deliverance and Damnation had backing vocals and also some guitar tracks from Wilson. Opeth and Porcupine Tree were a bit in love there for a while :)
@@manitobanmisanthrope2495 i know this is a late comment but if you dont know Steven Wilson was the producer of Blackwater Park , Deliverance and Damnation and the main heavy riff in blackest eyes was a birthday gift from Mikael Arkerfeldt to Steven Wilson . Just some fun facts haha :)
Some recommendations for Steven Wilson solo stuff: -Home Invasion/Regret #9 -Drive Home -Pariah -Routine -The Raven that Refused to Sing I'd probably say give Drive Home a listen first, but any of them are fine.
@@seanrogers8145 I thought about adding that one too, but then I thought I better stop otherwise I'd list half the discography lol but I do agree that's a great one to choose as well.
React to Steven Wilson - First Regret/3 Years older. Steven Wilson is the leadman on Porcupine Tree and now does music by himself. But actually PT was always his own band, so its kinda the same.
Good videos as always, Drew. A few suggestions: Porcupine Tree: Lazarus, Lips of Ashes, The Start of Something Beautiful, Buying a New Soul Opeth: Burden, The Moor, Eternal Rains Will Come, In My Time of Need, All Things Will Pass, Heart in Hand Dream Theater: The Glass Prison, Learning to Live, Octavarium, The Count of Tuscany, Breaking All Illusions, A Change of Seasons Cheers!
I like Protection but I think there are better songs to recommend to start with. I think "Souvenirs d'un autre monde" and "Oiseaux de proie" are better songs to start with
I Already recommended Katatonia - Takeover I want to add their Songs "Old heart Falls" and "Forsaker" from them. I dont see many Katatonia Recommendations on YT and i think its very sad, such a fantastic band
@@nathananderson7295 Yeah Forsaker is a very good first impression song for them i agree. Has everything in it that makes them so damn good. Takeover was the first thing comming to my mind cause of that jaw dropping main riff
@@Rassalcon Also a very nice song yes.. i mean i dont know any Katatonia Song that i dont like but i think Ambitions is maybe a bit to easy for an introduction. Its super nice but it doesnt have that super powerful, heavy parts in it that are one of the things that make Katatonia so he wouldnt get a complete feel for the band with that. Just a feeling tho could be completly wrong with that :)
Every track of this band is between AWESOME and OUTSTANDING... My list of tracks for you to check out: Lightbulb Sun Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled The Sleep Of No Dreaming Even Less Drown With Me Blackest Eyes Strip The Soul The Sound Of Muzak Halo
and add to that: Stranger by the Minute Russia On Ice Slave Called Shiver Dark Matter Mellotron Scratch Don't Hate Me .3 Buying New Soul Stars Die Half-Light etc.. lol.. we could go on and on..
This comment thread just goes to show how fantastic Porcupine Tree is. Essential tracks: every single track they've ever produced Also: - Burning sky - Don't hate me - Heart attack in a layby - Sleep together - Normal (the entire nil recurring EP is sick btw)
Definitely glad your enjoying the prog metal scene, but I can’t help but suggest some prog rock legends to react to as well. Genesis, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson are great starting points.
Porcupine Tree suggestions : The Start of Something Beautiful Fear of a blank Planet Russia on Ice Way out of Here(Live version because it is insane) The Sky Moves Sideways(for a much more older psychedelic sound) Steven Wilsons Solo work: Drive Home Deform to form a star Home Invasion/Regret #9 Happy Returns All of his music is epic, but these are some I HAVE TO listen to once a week
I have just realized that Dream theater is the band that will definitely blow YOUR mind! Check out change of seasons or Octavarium Or if you don’t want to start with huge epics, here are some of my other suggestions Panic attack(mustcheck!), take the time, learning to live(along with wait for sleep), glass prison, metropolis pt1 And yeah metropolis part 2 is my favorite album of all time, this is a conceptual album please do the whole album reaction
recommendations for stevens solo work: ancestral deform to form a star first regret / three years older the raven that refused to sing luminol (live) index (live)
If you can, watch the entire SW Royal Albert Hall concert. Simply amazing seeing and hearing it in super high quality. Plus, you get a really good sample across projects and albums.
I'll continue my shouting out for you to check out Mastodon, their tracks Halloween, Jaguar God or The Last Baron for starters. Oh man, you like guitar riffs and groove, Mastodon have them both in loads :)
Would love to see you react to the band OSI. The drummer on this track is the drummer for their albums Blood and Fire Make Thunder. The song The Escape Artist would be a good starting point. Steven Wilson also appears as the lead vocals on their track Shutdown
You might be interested to know that the leader of Opeth teamed up with Steven Wilson and did an album called Storm Corrosion. It would be a cool way to tie your opeth videos into porcupine tree/Wilson videos! Keep up the good work dude! I like the channel.
Loved it my brother. Steven Wilson is majestic yet thetrical. For solo work you have to follow this order... Steven Wilson - Drive home (official animated video) Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing (official animated video) Steven Wilson - Routine (definitely official animated video) Please and thank you.
It's so much fun seeing you enjoy Porcupine Tree for the first time! I'm so jealous. I discovered them at 14 and I wish I could experience them for the first time again.
Mike from Opeth also provides the backing vocals at the beginning verses. It would also be interesting to check out some of Porcupine Tree’s earlier material like A Smart Kid from the Stupid Dream album. It will show you how they evolved their sound. They always kept their sound moving...
I agree with you. There really isn't a bad one in all of the songs SW has written as he really is an incredible songwriter. Funny thing is that I first heard of PT many years ago. Like probably in the late 90's, but never gave them a listen until a couple of months ago. Now I cant get enough of them and I have gone back through Apple Music listening to everything that is in their library!!
I'm really happy to see more people discovering Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson. I've been a fan since In Absentia came out when I was a freshman in high school. I never got to see PT live but I saw Steven Wilson in 2018 and it was an excellent show.
I LOVE PT so much, and it is awesome watching someone groove to the song for the first time, chilling getting into the beauty of it, then, "Wait, final sound as a gun, smashing windscreen, fading out to song...is this gorgeous song about dying unexpectedly?" Time Flies, Bonnie the Cat, or Sleep of No Dreaming!
Love the channel mate. Your prog discovery is a treat to watch unfold. Next steps might be VOLA or Leprous if grand instrumentality is your kind of thing. Owls and The Price might be good starting points from each. Enjoy the journey mate. love from Glasgow
Along the prog rock lines, I'd recommend Close to the Edge by Yes. It's like classic prog, but so well put together, with lush harmonies and melodies from every instrument. One of my favorite pieces of music.
I highly recommend doing some videos on The Pineapple Thief, they are kind of like Porcupine Tree. Their song Too Much to Lose is up there with Anesthetize, both in length and quality, with multiple parts and multiple build ups
The song is about living your fullest life where you don’t regret wasting time on endeavours that give you no joy, because you could go and life could end any time
This is such a great slow burn/builder. Dark lyrics. Love it! Great reaction! Steven is a mad genius. Glad you are diving in. Anything solo is gonna be fantastic. The Raven That Refused To Sing, Hand Cannot Erase and To the Bone are great albums. So much from which to choose!
It’s always like, “Oh fecking hell, magical, aaaand not done with you yet during every bridge and outro”, “ or any fecking song we lay down” You HAVE to see the live concert versions, your brain will EXPLODE.
Steven Wilson - Routine (animated music video), Ancestral, Luminol, Ancestral, Drive Home (animated music video), pariah (live albert royal hall), home invasion... There are sooo many good songs to start with. I think its funny that you walk down the same path into wilson and purcupine tree that i did, by listening to and falling in love with Anesthetize. I have to say i love wilsons solo work even more than PT. I also discovered opeth by diving into wilsons work. Opeth and wilson are now my favourite artists. You are in for a treat boi!
Blackest Eyes Live - Porcupine Tree A Smart Kid Live - Porcupine Tree Folklore - Opeth In my time of need - Opeth Heartattack in a layby Live - Porcupine Tree
Welcome on planet Porcupine Tree by a long time fan! I saw them three times live until now and when these covid emergency will finish and they will return to Italy (i am italian) i am gonna go to see them live again!
If you want to go back to some classic prog: King Crimson - Frame By Frame. They were a huge influence on Porcupine Tree, Opeth, and Tool (who actually toured with King Crimson). Also Yes - Awaken would be an epic old school prog react.
This was the very first PT song I listened to back in 08 and haven't looked back since! And it made it even more happy to learn the guys were really good friends with Opeth, Dream Theater, Haken, and other prog greats. Steven is a damned walking prog library and remixes the more classic prog masterpieces. I have nothing but deep respect and admiration for the man.
Keep the PT reactions coming man, I love that you like them so much. Top tracks you should react to: Time Flies, Blackest Eyes, The Sound Of Muzak, Sleep Forever... Top SW tracks: Luminol, Harmony Korine, Home Invasion/ Regret #9, Routine, Detonation.
Here are some songs from Porcupine Tree Prodigal Fear Of A Blank Planet Lightbulb Sun Buying New Soul Black Matter The Sound Of Muzak Blackest Eyes Lips Of Ashes Shallow Even Less Dislocated Day Halo Way Out Of Here Piano Lessons Don't Hate Me Stars Die Sleep Together Waiting Phase One Times Flies Stranger By The Minute
Obviously a great track choice, glad you liked it! I am going to try and keep it porcupine tree by suggesting: - Russia on ice -The start of something beautiful - What happens now (live)
For me the title means rushing through life without stopping to realize what's truly meaningful to you. You're always busy without being present. Always arriving somewhere but not HERE. Recommends: Porcupine Tree - Even Less (full version on Recordings) Steven Wilson - Pariah Peace!
Grace for Drowning is imo his best solo album. but he's getting more and more leaned to the mainstream with every album he releases. Not my cup of tea, but to each their own. I'm a Porcupine Tree fan for 20 years now and always loved what he did (ok, only like a few songs from Blackfield). His new solo album will be quite a surprise to us I think.
@@Tintop Grace is great, but Raven for me is my fav. I love even his more mainstream stuff, because it still feels different. Love bone and personal shopper is in itself a fun listen.
Hey man. Blackest Eyes, The Sound of Muzak, Fear of a Blank Planet, Deadwing to name a few masterpieces. You're welcome. Keep it up. Best regards from Portugal

Please go show them some love guys - a lot of potential from these guys 🔥
Steven Wilson - Routine, and please react to the official video!
You must check out the live version, its even better than the studio version.
Nice reaction Drew. Continue down the Porcupine tree/Steven Wilson route. You now have more than 75k subscribers. Congratulations. You will reach 100k fast, better start aiming even higher. Cheers man.
Heartattack on a Layby , PLEASE
You should check "Hatesong" live in Chicago, amazing performance.
Fun fact: that juicy jazzy slow solo guitar in the middle of the song is played by Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth.
And the backing vocals, too.
These bands are legends
Steven himself calls this guitar sound the lonely swede-sound
Not previously knowing this, but listening to it now - it sounds like something Akerfeldt would play/write.
Home invasion/ regret#9 guitar part at the end by Guthrie Govan you’ll love it .
This is one of the best songs i ever heard: deep lyrics, mesmorizing melody, fantastic harmonies, headbanging metal, contrasts.
This song is in my personal top 5!
Not enough people recommending my favourite one:
The Start of Something Beautiful
Gavin is a high hat wizard in that song
Mine as well
@@BaphomentIsAwsome666 gavin is always a f* god!
Drive home and The raven that refused to sing by Steven Wilson.
yes!!
But not lyric videos or something but the official music videos!
Drive home has the best fucking solo ever
And Routine too. The official video.
Routine is the best imo
Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes is good choice for the next video
Yes, then Shallow
Steven Wilson:
Home Invasion/Regret
Luminol (live)
Routine
Drive Home
home invasion/regret hell funkin yes
Oh yes, Drive Home with the music video is stunning Drew. That fucknig solo.
Totally Agree on HOME INVASION/REGRET #9.
Oh yeah. Home Invasion!!
Fun Fact: Opeth’s The Drapery Falls had Steven Wilson I’m backing vocals, and this song has Mikael Akerfeldt on backing vocals (in the ah-ah-ah-ah bit)
Actually, many songs from Deliverance and Damnation had backing vocals and also some guitar tracks from Wilson. Opeth and Porcupine Tree were a bit in love there for a while :)
Viktor Johansson Oh yeah for sure, I only singled out Drapery cause Drew did a reaction vid to it last week.
And bleak
@@viktorjohansson4424 Steven Wilson and Mikael Akerfeldt did a collab called Storm Corrosion.
@@manitobanmisanthrope2495 i know this is a late comment but if you dont know Steven Wilson was the producer of Blackwater Park , Deliverance and Damnation and the main heavy riff in blackest eyes was a birthday gift from Mikael Arkerfeldt to Steven Wilson . Just some fun facts haha :)
Some recommendations for Steven Wilson solo stuff:
-Home Invasion/Regret #9
-Drive Home
-Pariah
-Routine
-The Raven that Refused to Sing
I'd probably say give Drive Home a listen first, but any of them are fine.
DRIVE HOME
YES
I mean, are we not even going to talk about ANCESTRAL?
@@seanrogers8145 I thought about adding that one too, but then I thought I better stop otherwise I'd list half the discography lol but I do agree that's a great one to choose as well.
@@seanrogers8145 it's good but not quite as good as drive, he may get bored with ancestral
For his solo work: Steven Wilson - Routine (Music Video). The music video is an absolute must for this song. You will cry homie.
I agree! And the last live version is completely stunning. He takes such great care of sound and quality
I saw routine live. it was better than the studio version. the man is an enigma.
Routine is such an intense and emotional video. I highly recommend it, but it is hard.
Best to react to video version to get the full experience with the video clip. Live version next time round...
Drew; a must do ! Routine
MARS VOLTA!!
oh, please
Mirko Pizarro ??
React to Steven Wilson - First Regret/3 Years older.
Steven Wilson is the leadman on Porcupine Tree and now does music by himself. But actually PT was always his own band, so its kinda the same.
Good videos as always, Drew. A few suggestions:
Porcupine Tree: Lazarus, Lips of Ashes, The Start of Something Beautiful, Buying a New Soul
Opeth: Burden, The Moor, Eternal Rains Will Come, In My Time of Need, All Things Will Pass, Heart in Hand
Dream Theater: The Glass Prison, Learning to Live, Octavarium, The Count of Tuscany, Breaking All Illusions, A Change of Seasons
Cheers!
The Grand Conjuration by Opeth too.
Omg Eternal Rains WIll Come YES!!
fear of a blank planet-live version.... you'll love it
Great recommendation. You beat me to it.
I'm going to start recommending Alcest, very good band!
Alcest - Protection
fucking golden. I adore alcest
I like Protection but I think there are better songs to recommend to start with. I think "Souvenirs d'un autre monde" and "Oiseaux de proie" are better songs to start with
Alcest is awesome. Alcest - Sur L'Océan Couleur De Fer is my favorite one.
Awesome band. I had recommended them earlier...
I Already recommended Katatonia - Takeover
I want to add their Songs "Old heart Falls" and "Forsaker" from them. I dont see many Katatonia Recommendations on YT and i think its very sad, such a fantastic band
Can't recommend Katatonia enough, Forsaker would be a great introduction
I think Ambitions is where people should start with katatonia. but yeah more people should them out for sure
@@nathananderson7295 Yeah Forsaker is a very good first impression song for them i agree. Has everything in it that makes them so damn good. Takeover was the first thing comming to my mind cause of that jaw dropping main riff
@@Rassalcon Also a very nice song yes.. i mean i dont know any Katatonia Song that i dont like but i think Ambitions is maybe a bit to easy for an introduction. Its super nice but it doesnt have that super powerful, heavy parts in it that are one of the things that make Katatonia so he wouldnt get a complete feel for the band with that. Just a feeling tho could be completly wrong with that :)
Yes!!
honestly - I am watching this and still cannot believe you went to tool and PT - top 10 bands in my lifetime! damn!
Lionman 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The Raven that refused to sing is the peak of Stevens vocals imo. Different sound from porcupine tree but really highlights his great singing
Ancestral by Steven is one of his top works, from his album "Hand.Cannot.Erase" Definitely a must.
Every track of this band is between AWESOME and OUTSTANDING... My list of tracks for you to check out:
Lightbulb Sun
Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled
The Sleep Of No Dreaming
Even Less
Drown With Me
Blackest Eyes
Strip The Soul
The Sound Of Muzak
Halo
and add to that:
Stranger by the Minute
Russia On Ice
Slave Called Shiver
Dark Matter
Mellotron Scratch
Don't Hate Me

Buying New Soul
Stars Die
Half-Light
etc.. lol.. we could go on and on..
Don't forget:

This comment thread just goes to show how fantastic Porcupine Tree is. Essential tracks: every single track they've ever produced
Also:
- Burning sky
- Don't hate me
- Heart attack in a layby
- Sleep together
- Normal (the entire nil recurring EP is sick btw)
Definitely glad your enjoying the prog metal scene, but I can’t help but suggest some prog rock legends to react to as well. Genesis, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson are great starting points.
One More Red Nightmare!
Steven Wilson - Routine official video
Great choice.
It's an incredible piece of music. But get ready to feel...things.
Please react Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes
Porcupine Tree suggestions :
The Start of Something Beautiful
Fear of a blank Planet
Russia on Ice
Way out of Here(Live version because it is insane)
The Sky Moves Sideways(for a much more older psychedelic sound)
Steven Wilsons Solo work:
Drive Home
Deform to form a star
Home Invasion/Regret #9
Happy Returns
All of his music is epic, but these are some I HAVE TO listen to once a week
I've seen people recommending Katatonia. I've been thinking about recommending it too, so there it goes: Lethean, by Katatonia.
The guitar solo in that track hits like a truck :D
@@alexandremarchand8815 yep, it's a nice solo on the harmonic minor mode
Serein is another one. the drums are fantastic on that track
My favorite song ever. Haven't heard anything like this before. It's so beautiful and unique.
I have just realized that Dream theater is the band that will definitely blow YOUR mind!
Check out change of seasons or Octavarium
Or if you don’t want to start with huge epics, here are some of my other suggestions
Panic attack(mustcheck!), take the time, learning to live(along with wait for sleep), glass prison, metropolis pt1
And yeah metropolis part 2 is my favorite album of all time, this is a conceptual album please do the whole album reaction
DT after the reaction of the entire tool's production.
yessssss
Oh yes, I think he should react to stuff from Octavarium, the whole album is such a masterpiece.
1 hour of video
Metropolis pt 2 is the album that got me into prog metal. Such a good album all the way through but Home is an absolute standout
recommendations for stevens solo work:
ancestral
deform to form a star
first regret / three years older
the raven that refused to sing
luminol (live)
index (live)
Drive home. If nothing else, just for Guthrie’s solo
i second first regret/3 years older too
INDEX (Live) Yes!!
First regret/Three years older is just beautiful! And long!
Add raider 2 as well
What`s this, a guy reacting to Porcupine tree in 2020??? God bless this reaction.
Porcupine tree is the best start to Steven Wilson ‘s music. And more if your favorite band is Tool 👍🏻 you will not be disappointed.
Me leíste la mente
TOOL is my favorite band, and when I discovered SW he became my god
Steven Wilson: Luminol, Drive Home, Perfect Life, Harmony Korine. 👌🏻
If you can, watch the entire SW Royal Albert Hall concert. Simply amazing seeing and hearing it in super high quality. Plus, you get a really good sample across projects and albums.
Live Version next!
I'll continue my shouting out for you to check out Mastodon, their tracks Halloween, Jaguar God or The Last Baron for starters.
Oh man, you like guitar riffs and groove, Mastodon have them both in loads :)
I back this, I'd start with Oblivion or Deviations, anything off of Crack The Skye
Would love to see you react to the band OSI. The drummer on this track is the drummer for their albums Blood and Fire Make Thunder. The song The Escape Artist would be a good starting point. Steven Wilson also appears as the lead vocals on their track Shutdown
I loved Kevin Moore in OSI 🤘
Have you checked out Kevin Moore's solo project Chroma Key? Not as heavy as OSI but still has that suck you out of the room sound.
OSI OMG yes
You’re getting it now!!! Yes! Great choice of song too! Now for something to mess up your mind: Car Bomb “Constant Sleep”
"Heart Attack In A Layby"!
You might be interested to know that the leader of Opeth teamed up with Steven Wilson and did an album called Storm Corrosion. It would be a cool way to tie your opeth videos into porcupine tree/Wilson videos! Keep up the good work dude! I like the channel.
Loved it my brother. Steven Wilson is majestic yet thetrical.
For solo work you have to follow this order...
Steven Wilson - Drive home (official animated video)
Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing (official animated video)
Steven Wilson - Routine (definitely official animated video)
Please and thank you.
It's so much fun seeing you enjoy Porcupine Tree for the first time! I'm so jealous. I discovered them at 14 and I wish I could experience them for the first time again.
“The start of something beautiful”
Mike from Opeth also provides the backing vocals at the beginning verses. It would also be interesting to check out some of Porcupine Tree’s earlier material like A Smart Kid from the Stupid Dream album. It will show you how they evolved their sound. They always kept their sound moving...
WHooooooooo...new Porcupine Tree song to make Drew ......shake?! :D
Just do every single PT and Steven Wilson song because you will love them all
I agree with you. There really isn't a bad one in all of the songs SW has written as he really is an incredible songwriter. Funny thing is that I first heard of PT many years ago. Like probably in the late 90's, but never gave them a listen until a couple of months ago. Now I cant get enough of them and I have gone back through Apple Music listening to everything that is in their library!!
This is a simple drum track. For Gavin.
Leprous, lets do it🥳 Rewind or The Sky Is Red (or whatover Leprous song, they’re all great in their own ways).
Instant chills. This song is just perfect in all it's aspects.
I'm really happy to see more people discovering Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson. I've been a fan since In Absentia came out when I was a freshman in high school. I never got to see PT live but I saw Steven Wilson in 2018 and it was an excellent show.
I LOVE PT so much, and it is awesome watching someone groove to the song for the first time, chilling getting into the beauty of it, then, "Wait, final sound as a gun, smashing windscreen, fading out to song...is this gorgeous song about dying unexpectedly?" Time Flies, Bonnie the Cat, or Sleep of No Dreaming!
That “metal” breakdown midway through is just so satisfying.
Beauty of prog rock 😄
Try “buying new soul”, it’s my second best after anesthetise. There are very many really good songs of porcupine tree
That's a great choice actually.
Love the channel mate. Your prog discovery is a treat to watch unfold. Next steps might be VOLA or Leprous if grand instrumentality is your kind of thing. Owls and The Price might be good starting points from each. Enjoy the journey mate. love from Glasgow
This is the song that hooked me on PT... 15 years later they're still my favorite band, bar NONE. I hope they hook you folks, too...
Along the prog rock lines, I'd recommend Close to the Edge by Yes. It's like classic prog, but so well put together, with lush harmonies and melodies from every instrument. One of my favorite pieces of music.
I highly recommend doing some videos on The Pineapple Thief, they are kind of like Porcupine Tree. Their song Too Much to Lose is up there with Anesthetize, both in length and quality, with multiple parts and multiple build ups
He should start with in exile that song gives me goosebumps everytime
The song is about living your fullest life where you don’t regret wasting time on endeavours that give you no joy, because you could go and life could end any time
Folking magical!
This is such a great slow burn/builder. Dark lyrics. Love it! Great reaction! Steven is a mad genius. Glad you are diving in. Anything solo is gonna be fantastic. The Raven That Refused To Sing, Hand Cannot Erase and To the Bone are great albums. So much from which to choose!
'The start of something beautiful'! You have to! Absolutely have to!
It’s always like, “Oh fecking hell, magical, aaaand not done with you yet during every bridge and outro”, “ or any fecking song we lay down” You HAVE to see the live concert versions, your brain will EXPLODE.
Steven Wilson - Routine (animated music video), Ancestral, Luminol, Ancestral, Drive Home (animated music video), pariah (live albert royal hall), home invasion...
There are sooo many good songs to start with. I think its funny that you walk down the same path into wilson and purcupine tree that i did, by listening to and falling in love with Anesthetize. I have to say i love wilsons solo work even more than PT. I also discovered opeth by diving into wilsons work. Opeth and wilson are now my favourite artists. You are in for a treat boi!
Shesmovedon from the Lightbulb Sun album just for the solo.
You need to react to Alter Bridge--Blackbird
From Porcupine Tree, Time Flies is one of my personal favs. Has that nostalgic, mysterious feel they do so well
Live version next
Blackest Eyes Live - Porcupine Tree
A Smart Kid Live - Porcupine Tree
Folklore - Opeth
In my time of need - Opeth
Heartattack in a layby Live - Porcupine Tree
Also the start of something beautiful by PT
Welcome on planet Porcupine Tree by a long time fan! I saw them three times live until now and when these covid emergency will finish and they will return to Italy (i am italian) i am gonna go to see them live again!
Well done!!
Man, do I love this song. Never gets old. Great reaction!
The Tree are easily my favourite prog band.... these reactions are f'in awesome...
Nothing beats Porcupine Tree tbh.
What you are experiencing right now its me 12 years ago... is magnificent. Enjoy all that's to come
Steven Wilson Solo stuff? gladly! also really cool Musik. I recommend "Nowhere now"
listen to the live version... amazing
React to "in absentia" full album
❤️ I absolutely love this one. I listen to it soooo much! I'm so thrilled to have discovered them here on your channel. Thank you Drew!
😁🙏🏻
@@DrewFortune97 ❤️
You got it right Drew. Simply put without any discussion needed... it is a masterpiece about Death, a subject Steven Wilson explores often .
If you want to go back to some classic prog: King Crimson - Frame By Frame. They were a huge influence on Porcupine Tree, Opeth, and Tool (who actually toured with King Crimson). Also Yes - Awaken would be an epic old school prog react.
This was the very first PT song I listened to back in 08 and haven't looked back since! And it made it even more happy to learn the guys were really good friends with Opeth, Dream Theater, Haken, and other prog greats. Steven is a damned walking prog library and remixes the more classic prog masterpieces. I have nothing but deep respect and admiration for the man.
React to Mellotron scratch just for the ending of it
This. Even the rockpalast version with Wes doing “the bit”.
The solo towards the end of the live version is just awesome.
Keep the PT reactions coming man, I love that you like them so much. Top tracks you should react to: Time Flies, Blackest Eyes, The Sound Of Muzak, Sleep Forever... Top SW tracks: Luminol, Harmony Korine, Home Invasion/ Regret #9, Routine, Detonation.
LOL, I’ve listened to this a thousand times, and I always play the air maracas, just like you!!!! 😃
There are dozens of Porcupine Tree tracks you wont be disappointed with,have a listen to Russia on ice, The Blind house and Way out of here.
Agreed - good live
all time favorite.. i can dance forever in last part of the song.
"Luminol" is the sickest piece by Steven Wilson.
One of Steven Wilson's most atmospheric songs is Abandoner. It's like a horror movie with crazy sound design.
Here are some songs from Porcupine Tree
Prodigal
Fear Of A Blank Planet
Lightbulb Sun
Buying New Soul
Black Matter
The Sound Of Muzak
Blackest Eyes
Lips Of Ashes
Shallow
Even Less
Dislocated Day
Halo
Way Out Of Here
Piano Lessons
Don't Hate Me
Stars Die
Sleep Together
Waiting Phase One
Times Flies
Stranger By The Minute
11:00 that transition really makes u arrive somewhere. Fucking magical indeed
Nice to see you rockin with it, great taste our kid.
David Hammond yessir🙏🏻🙏🏻
Another great PT album I love!!
Fear of a blank planet live as well as Dark Matter live from same concert. Mind blowing.
Obviously a great track choice, glad you liked it! I am going to try and keep it porcupine tree by suggesting:
- Russia on ice
-The start of something beautiful
- What happens now (live)
15:20 best part
Drew at 4:30 - Enjoying the song
Drew at 4:33 - Visibly disturbed by the first lyric
For me the title means rushing through life without stopping to realize what's truly meaningful to you. You're always busy without being present. Always arriving somewhere but not HERE.
Recommends:
Porcupine Tree - Even Less (full version on Recordings)
Steven Wilson - Pariah
Peace!
I usually describe this song as an Experience. It feels like you just went through something when you listen to it all the way through.
A Simple Mistake by Anathema.
If you want some real Wilson prog - 'Remainder the black dog' from him is classic chaotic beautiful prog. But honestly, any song of his is class.
Grace for Drowning is imo his best solo album.
but he's getting more and more leaned to the mainstream with every album he releases. Not my cup of tea, but to each their own. I'm a Porcupine Tree fan for 20 years now and always loved what he did (ok, only like a few songs from Blackfield). His new solo album will be quite a surprise to us I think.
@@Tintop Grace is great, but Raven for me is my fav. I love even his more mainstream stuff, because it still feels different. Love bone and personal shopper is in itself a fun listen.
Hey man. Blackest Eyes, The Sound of Muzak, Fear of a Blank Planet, Deadwing to name a few masterpieces. You're welcome. Keep it up. Best regards from Portugal
So glad you got to listen this mate, 🔥
