Magnet (8-9/99, pp.85-6) - "...The group is adept at charting accessible pop: The lush melodicism...recalls Gabriel-era Genesis....[signifies Steven Wilson's] desire to move away from his instrumental beginnings and pursue the possibilities of traditional songcraft." Guitar Magazine (7/99, pp.96-7) - "...multifaceted, far-reaching albums that remind us the term prog...is short for progressive....[STUPID DREAM] plant Porcupine Tree squarely in the rock arena....Long live prog." Mojo (Publisher) (4/99, p.104) - "...the album confirms the band's growing ability to absorb its (mainly 70's) influences and creat a moody, romantic vision that's all its own..."

Formed in 1987, London's Porcupine Tree is one of the most highly regarded progressive rock acts in the genre. Blending influences of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Deep Purple, Rush, and Black Sabbath, the band has released over 15 albums, EPs, and live recordings over its relatively short career. Part classic rock, part psychedelic, and part metal, Porcupine Tree also possesses a wide-ranging fan base. Though never garnering a "hit" single, the band was nominated for a Grammy in 2007.
