Porcupine Tree is a progressive rock band formed Way back in 1987 over in England. The Incident is there tenth studio album. It was released on September 14, 2009. the concept for the album stated by Steve Wilson the lead singer
“There was a sign saying ‘POLICE – INCIDENT’ and everyone was slowing down to rubberneck to see what had happened... Afterwards, it struck me that ‘incident’ is a very detached word for something so destructive and traumatic for the people involved. And then I had the sensation that the spirit of someone that had died in the accident entered into my car and was sitting next to me. “The irony of such a cold expression for such seismic events appealed to me, and I began to pick out other ‘incidents’ reported in the media and news,” continues Wilson. “I wrote about the evacuation of teenage girls from a religious cult in Texas, a family terrorizing its neighbours, a body found floating in a river by some people on a fishing trip, and more. Each song is written in the first person and tries to humanize the detached media reportage.”
I haven't heard a ton of Porcupine Tree I only discovered them this year and had a chance to listen to two of there albums "Lightbulb Sun" and "Fear Of A Blank Planet" both great listens btw. This new album a two disc set, while I don't know if its as good as those last two mentioned its still a fairly strong effort. The stand out song would have to be Time Files, It's really Floyd like reminding me alot of Sheep or Dogs from Animals. If your a fan of Dream Theater, Tool, Pink Floyd, Rush, or even some Heavy Metal Acts like Meshuggah and Opeth (who were some of there Influences) then there definitely worth checking out.
