I think the 1st track is the best and the rest is like a bit like a cross between a funeral and a porcupine tree demo. It is, however, a grower.

I decline to say what I really think about it until I have listened to it 10 times or so.

I've listened to the first track so far, and although it's too early to say it about the rest of the album, I'm really digging what I hear. It reminds me a LOT of Black Light Burns with Porcupine Tree style vocals, which is something that is way cool in my book.

lets just say i have my contacts...

actually its up on what.cd too what you talking about, says its been up for 17 hours.

i have listened to it maybe 5-6 times so far and i'm probably digging salvaging, significant other, get all that you deserve and insurgentes the most so far. the bonus songs rock too, puncture wound is very similar to cover version 3 (a forest by the cure) and it's great to finally hear a polished version of collecting space. i'm really loving the noisy bits and the album is more melodic than i originally assumed it to be and it makes me excited because sw said next pt album is going to be less heavy and more melodic and this is v.good. like whole insurgentes song, just wow. or the opener. or the orchestral or w/e part in salvaging. anyway lovin' it.

He doesn't write all of PT's music anymore, hasn't for a while. He still writes the majority of PT's music but writing albums is really a band effort for them, they get together to come up with ideas and they co-write songs too. And besides, why not? SW has like what, 10 different solo projects? He feels that the things he wanted to do on Insurgentes wouldn't fit on a PT album. There are also lots of guest musicians (like 10?) and it would be kinda weird to do that with the whole band anyway.

I think the award for most disappointing and lame sideproject goes to claudio sanchez for the prizefighter inferno. That was the lamest most disappointing sideproject I have ever discovered.

Definitely. It had about 2 or 3 good songs and the rest was junk.

As for Insurgentes, I got my copy in the mail yesterday. It is holy shit big black hardcover book with photos and the music is great. Very different too...a bit of Porcupine Tree with electronica and drones.

I like Port Rubicon, and some parts of the other songs. Overall it's a bit melodramatic, and the production quality kinda is too "good"; there aren't any imperfect sounds let in and I think it's not as interesting because of that.

Heh, I thought Port Rubicon was the weakest one. It's still decent though.

With each listen, Insurgentes grows on me more...tracks that I dismissed before have started to shed their brilliance and open up more.

Favorites: Harmony Korine, Abandoner, Salvaging, No Twilight Within The Courts Of The Sun, Significant Other, Collecting Space
Very good: Port Rubicon, Insurgentes, Insurgentes/Mexico, Untitled
Good, not great: Venema Para Las Hadas, Only Child, Twilight Coda
Meh: Get All You Deserve, Puncture Wound
