Porcupine Tree is one of the most recognizable names in modern progressive rock, and their groundbreaking album In Absentia has become a classic within the prog-rock community. It turned a page in the history of this preeminent band's career as it ushered in a whole new wave of fans and expanded their sound into the realm of heavy metal. With a wide array of moods spanning from high energy to psychedelic to hysterical, In Absentia does everything except stagnate while still centering on dark themes and poignant lyricism with grace and nuance. It's made even more notable by a loose concept that flirts with the idea of insanity and questions elements of humanity and monstrosity. Destin and Drew discuss this remarkable album in detail and explain why it is such an achievement for Porcupine Tree and why it has become so popular for prog rock fans everywhere.
