Product: Porcupine Tree: Anesthetize (2008)
Rating: 5.0
Anesthesize DVD
I discovered Porcupine Tree a couple of years ago and during that time, I've become astounded at the diversity and originality of the band. While they fall into the "progressive" category, they avoid the trap that so many other current progressive bands fall into - copying the sounds of early influencers like Genesis and Yes. Porcupine Tree is clearly influenced by bands like Pink Floyd, but they are originals, Steven Wilson is a prolific song writer, and this DVD does an incredible job of capturing the musicianship and energy of a live Porcupine Tree show. If you don't know them well, it's a great way to introduce yourself to some of their more recent material. If you know them, just buy it.
