Best Porcupine Tree Studio Album?

Up the Downstair (including Staircase Infinities) with Signify a close second.

Although I am a recent fan, I prefer the earlier PT phase, upto Lightbulb Sun. Its really shocking to see Signify get no votes. I think its a brilliant album with a lot of variety.

Also, no Voyage 34 in the poll? Thats another album which really needs a specific mood to listen to. Awesome production though.

Interesting, might have to look that up.

I usually find pre-absentia albums, such as Lightbulb Sun, to be very atmospheric. However, I do prefer their new style, especially with In Absentia and the Incident.

Is there a definitive guide to which PT discs -reissues are the most desrieable to get?

Stupid Dream is still my favorite, with Sky Moves Sideways being a close second. I just really really like space rock, and Stupid Dream is just in a class by itself.

I voted for Stupid Dream, with Lightbulb Sun a close second. I miss PT's softer side, I haven't been moved by their newer albums like with the old stuff.

I just listened to my first PT album this weekend - Deadwing. I can't believe there is a better album. Must buy In Absentia...

Very close call between In Absentia and Fear of a Blank Planet for me. But in the end, I just like In Absentia more.
