I have an interview with Steven Wilson in which he actually admitted that he wanted a more aggressive sound as bands such as Meshuggah and Opeth were gaining bigger fanbases and this just put me off them slightly. What I always liked about PT was their organic approach to music. Their early Ambient stuff is excellent and then when guitars became more prominent they were still integrated well into their sound. to then start basing songs around standard Metal riffs seemed to lose a little of their organic qualities.
As I said PT have made some of my very favourite music but some tracks just leave me completely unimpressed.
