Query: Great album, wonderful keyboards

This was Porcupine Tree's first "band" album. Earlier projects were mostly Steven Wilson solo. The songs are melodic and cohesive with some of the rock edge that became so prominent on "In Absentia" several years later. The lyrics don't always flow very well; this is an aspect of the music that improved greatly on later PTree projects. Richard Barbieri's keyboards are a highlight. Barbieri completely avoids the "many-notes" style of the various Dream Theater keyboardists (good in their own way) and instead uses very interesting analog synth textures and a keen ear for the perfect harmony accompaniment. More than anything else, his playing gives these songs their distinct feel and elevates the music to something more special than the sum of its parts. I couldn't disagree more strongly with the reviewer below who laments Barbieri not playing more notes. He's entitled to his opinion . . . but he's wrong.
