this album really falls apart near the end

like there is nothing interesting in the last 2-3 tracks

guys lets be honest, this album ain't the album of the year and the new muse album is superior

seriously man make a topic about the new muse album with youtube links + stop repeating beating (ds gimme creds ​) that line in every other topic...!

What I am about to tell you may sound disgustingly fan boyish, and it is but is also the sole reason I don't download leaks of stuff. The experiences I've had in the past 12 hours are way better than downloading a torrent.

"The Incident" came in the post today. I managed to get myself really excited about it. I couldn't sleep last night at all. I got up, got dressed, put on my PT T-shirt,  and literally spend like an hour just sitting by the door waiting for the post. I just got finished listening to the first disc (I'm not really gonna consider the second disc part of the album, even though it is) and here's my opinion.

It rules. This album is pretty, clever and pretty brutal all at the same time. This is better than Fear by a COUNTRY MILE. The Incident is the stand out track just because it was so damn good and pretty much like nothing PT have done before. I Drive The Hearse is such an epic album closer, with it's pretty bits and it's geetar solos and stuff. While it's definitely not my favourite PT album it could quite easily be in a few months time after a few listens. Even the heavy bits (don't get me wrong I like it when PT go heavy but it was very amatuerish on FoaBP, are sound a lot better) are great. They sound a lot like Opeth in places and that's never a bad thing. I can't believe that I was worried about this album at all! Most of this probably doesn't make sense because I am posting under the influence of excitement.

Edit: Bonnie the Cat, was unexpectedly heavy, you know for a song called Bonnie The Cat. I'm not really getting the second disc. Like, I don't see the point in it at all! I guess it saves them releasing these songs in 6 months time and charging £8 for a NEW MINI ALBUM ala Nil Recurring. The songs are good but it's not part of THE INCIDENT so I'm not bothered. It feels like something they've stuck on at the end. At least they put them on a different disc as not to ruin the flow of the other album.

looks like KID A artwork

How much more was that? I can imagine it being quite expensive?!

It's up on Spotify BTW! They've even uploaded the whole album as one song  (but they've named it Occam's Razor and included the rest of the tracks separately) Hilarious!
