HARDCORE P-Tree fan here!There are other really serious PT fans here as well! One question: why would you resist the Tree?! Was it not love at first listen?
Na, not at all. I usually like progressive music that goes BOOOM!!!!! And PT seemed to be a little restrained and laid back for my tastes. But they've gradually worked their way under my skin. Have been hooked on IA, FoaBP and Deadwing for the past 6 months, and I just bought Nil Recurring and Lightbulb Sun yesterday. Loving them already.
BTW, what is the general consensus as to their best album? IS there a consensus? If I HAD to name a favourite, it'd have to be Deadwing. Glass Arm Shattering is my favourite tune...
That's a pretty tough question to answer - I happen to love In Absentia. That was the first PT album I really heard... so I love that one. I know a lot of people are really getting into them now because they're hearing the newer stuff and really liking that. I dunno - I'd venture a guess that Deadwing or FoaBP are pretty popular?! That's complete speculation though.
Really dig into Lightbulb Sun, it's "softer," if you will... but it's a real treasure if you let it get under your skinGlad to have another PT fan around here.
Listening to LS as we speak, LOVING it! God I LOVE discovering new bands (for me), especially ones with extensive back catalogues to be discovered....
Check out Signify, it be awesome. I love Waiting Phase One and Two.
Of course at the time, I didn't know the songs were going to be on FoaBP or anything. It was nutz
