Not many albums can claim to have created a new genre, but with its fusion of metal, progressive rock, ambient textures, \u0026amp; acoustic singer-songwriter styled material, it became something of a blueprint for a generation of bands to come. It was also something of a breakthrough for the band, eventually going on to sell three times more than the band\\u2019s previous releases. \\u2018In Absentia\\u2019 features many of Porcupine Tree\\u2019s most beloved songs, including 'Trains', 'The Sound of Muzak' \u0026amp; 'Blackest Eyes'. While not a formal concept album, many of the songs have common themes related to serial killers, youthful innocence gone wrong, \u0026amp; observations of the modern world, setting a template for many of songwriter Steven Wilson's future songs. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Porcupine Tree released their last album, \\u2018The Incident\\u2019, in 2009, marking another step forward in the incredible journey of the band that began as a solo studio project created by Steven Wilson in the late eighties to a multi grammy nominated act \u0026amp; one of the world\\u2019s most revered live bands, selling out arenas across the globe \u0026amp; wowing fans with their incredible performances. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e This new 2LP Transmission 2021 reissue of \\u2018In Absentia\\u2019 is presented in a gatefold sleeve \u0026amp; remains faithful to the original artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55136540033409,"sku":"1349125","price":42.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/518bDb_dzWL._SL1500_22e82565-b002-4439-8362-0b3324ac0b55.jpg?v=1767213305","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1349125","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
