For the first time since their original release, they have also been remastered by PT songwriter and frontman, Steven Wilson. The new mastering has considerably less compression and limiting for a more dynamic listening experience. In Absentia was the band's seventh studio album, first released in 2002, and was the first in a run of 3 albums that for many represent the pinnacle of the band's artistic achievements. It was something of a breakthrough for the band, selling three times more than previous releases. Following on from 2000's Lightbulb Sun it had a distinctly heavier tone, partly due to the addition of legendary drummer Gavin Harrison, and was also their first for major label Lava \/ Atlantic Records. In Absentia features many of Porcupine Tree's most loved songs including \"Trains\", \"The Sound of Muzak\" and \"Blackest Eyes\". While not a formal concept album, many of the songs have common themes related to serial killers, youthful innocence gone wrong, and observations of the modern world, setting a template for many of Wilson's future songs. These new vinyl editions will be released on double heavyweight audiophile 180g black vinyl presented in gatefold packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackest Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLips of Ashes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sound of Muzak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGravity Eyelids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWedding Nails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProdigal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Creator Has a Mastertape Heartattack in a Layby Strip the Soul 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollapse the Light Into Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"0","offers":[{"title":"New \/ Default","offer_id":51043340550440,"sku":"802644898513","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Alternate","offer_id":51074027847976,"sku":"802644898513-ALT","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3760644.jpg?v=1763987102","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/porcupine-tree-in-absentia-import-lp-02644898513","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
