The new album is a great step in their ever-evolving style. Porcupine Tree is continual proof that there is still good music to being created.

And whether its a ripoff or not, i love both songs pretty equally. Dogs is an all-time favorite, and Time Flies is a new PT favorite. Its still badass. I’m a huge fan of both.

He states: "The reason Time Flies is different is because it's supposed to be about me, my childhood, what formed me and also what formed me as a musician. The musical reference in it relate more to the music I grew up with. So you hear a very deliberate reference to Pink Floyd for example. The first album I ever bought was Animals. There's a riff in there that's very similar, just different enough to not get sued." http://www.dprp.net/specials/2009_porcupinetree/

They've definitely had some very PT and Marillion like moments in the past so I wouldn't expect it to stop now. There is another song on the new album where Steve Wilson does a guitar solo so similar in style to Marillion's Steven Rothery that I wanted to check the liner notes to see if he had a guest appearance on the record.

Honestly I hadn't heard of Porcupine Tree until Deadwing, and I haven't yet been impressed. It seems that anything Steve Wilson can do, Mikael Akerfeldt can do better.

Nothing I would call a rip-off. Steven Wilson is a massive prog-head and I can hear a lot of other bands within the PT sound. Porcupine Tree didn't knock me out right away either. Give them time and they'll become quite addictive. That’s pretty cool, really. Nothing I would call a rip-off.

Though ya know.... wouldn't be the first pop/rock song to be heavily based on movement from a tonic chord to submediant chord.... like... every Iron Maiden song for example? man… it eventually goes other places, but the start is pretty damn close….. so close that I wonder if it is a conscious reference, and we are just missing the random interview where he says that or something…?

On their live DVD they even closed the gig playing Confortably Numb!!
