Try In Absentia and Deadwing.
If you would like these two, than try Lightbulb sun and Stupid Dream.
But don't start with new The Incident, it really isn't good album for beginners.
Albums from 90th are different than albums after 2000.

Hehe, yes, interviews with Steven and Mikael are funny

Are you Opeth fan? Than if I remember well, Mikael's favourite albums are Stupid Dream and FOABP.

My favourite PT album followed by Deadwing...

Lightbulb Sun is almost my favourite now though, I can't stop listening to it. But I still go back to Up The Downstair and Voyage 34 almost always. The Incident has a whole new appeal for me after watching them perform it entirely live.

...ah screw it they're all amazing

I have mood for all discography because every album has something interesting and different than other albums

My band decided to cover the title track for this weekend's Halloween show. That bit in the middle right after the crazy drum stuff where it gets really heavy and fast is really fun to play.

Petula07 · 11-02-2010, 04:24 PM

Can you show it to us?

One czech band made cover of Fear of a blank Planet too. I would say it's not bad but female singer doesn't fit.

Fantastic album! The Incident was a bit of a let down compared to ...Blank Planet.

I was just browsing for related forum posts for my project research and I happened to discover yours. Thanks for the excellent information!

Yes.

This is from their wikipedia page

Quote:

Steven Wilson has mentioned that the album's title is a direct reference to the 1990 Public Enemy album, Fear of a Black Planet. He explained that race relations were a major issue when it was released and he sees "coming to terms with information technology and...the 21st century" as a modern issue.
