| The Incident | Once in a while, an album comes along that is so captivating and rich in its complexity and musicianship that one has to stop and play it over and over again, just to put into words why they like it so much. In the 70’s, when the concept album was a thing to be appreciated, a lot of classic bands delivered albums in such a fashion. [The Burning Disc]

| The Incident | Porcupine Tree seems to possess that special quality of playing precisely the things that you want to hear in a song without ever getting predictable. Steven Wilson is a masterful composer who has understood more than perfectly the essence of making music: producing pleasant sounds and concatenating them into an enjoying time. Anybody who pretends to care about music should possess a copy of ‘The Incident’. [Lords of Metal]

| Time flies when they're having fun... | Porcupine Tree has always been about exploring the resonance and echoes found within Steven Wilson's subconscious. After witnessing a road accident, Wilson was prompted to construct an ambitious song-cycle exploring the numerous associations which this initial incident triggered.
Sewn together into one continuous 55 minute stream the end result is a series of multi-layered perspectives which spiral beyond the inciting event into a dark kaleidoscope encompassing bogus gurus, break-ups, betrayals, and all manner of bad blood. [Sid Smith's Postcards...]
