The Incident - Porcupine Tree  Generally favorable reviews -
based on 8 Critics  Critic score distribution:   1. Positive: 6
out of 8   2. Negative: 0 out of 8   1. The title suite on this
two-CD set is the Tree's finest hour: a mounting drama of memoir
and real-news trauma, animated with slicing guitars, ghost-song
electronics, mile-high harmonies and smart pop bait.   2.
Stellar 12-minute opus 'Time Flies' teems with Pink Floydesque
arrangements and moving lyrics, while 'Octane Twisted' offers up
massive guitar riffage that you can bang your head to.   3. That
said, unlike early proggers who favored meandering instrumental
doodling over succinct songwriting, Porcupine Tree always favor
the importance of memorable songs over flashy solos, which
certainly makes the group one of the top modern-day prog rock
bands.   4. The Incident is an incident in music that must be
acknowledged.   5. He is a very, very good songwriter, which
keeps Porcupine Tree afloat even when they aren’t really pushing
the envelope.   6.
