Porcupine Tree Fear Of A Blank Planet (2-LP)

Description

2007 Classic Rock Magazine Awards Album of the Year

Limited Edition Double 140-Gram Black Vinyl LP

Originally released in 2007, Fear Of A Blank Planet was Porcupine Trees ninth studio album. It was the bands biggest selling album at the time, and their first to break into the Billboard top 100 in the U.S. It earned the band a Grammy nomination and has been featured in Rolling Stones Greatest Prog Albums Of All Time. Fear Of A Blank Planet is an ambitious 50-minute piece of music made of tracks that flow together to create a cohesive whole. The British art-rockers created a concept album based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel Lunar Park, with lyrics that addressed how the adolescent protagonist battled his bipolar and attention-deficit disorders with a regimen of prescription drugs and Internet overstimulation. The music used sprawling vocal melodies, atmospheric guitars and drums that tumbled through chaotic passages to echo the main characters manic-depressive states.
