4.0 out of 5 stars
a band that's evolving,
By El Kabong (Bethesda, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Signify (Audio CD)
This album, along with Stupid Dream, was among the first works I heard of Porcupine Tree. This was also the first time in which Steven Wilson worked with a full band for an entire album.Experimental, eerie, psychedelic, it's like they took all of the progressive rock influences, put them in a blender, added a little ambient sounds and electronica, and let it rip. This album represents a mix of what Steven Wilson had been doing as basically a one-man band, and what they will eventually become. Sleep of No Dreaming, and Sever are some of the darker, harder tracks, and gives you a harbinger of things to come with the direction Porcupine Tree would eventually take. This album is also full of atmospheric, ambient instrumental tracks like Idiot Prayer, Intermediate Jesus, and Light Mass Prayers. Darkmatter, the final track, is one of my all-time favorite Porcupine Tree songs. Signify is definitely an album worth listening to.

"I'm having the most perfect hallucination...",
By Silence Dogood (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Signify (Audio CD)
For those of you who were introduced to Porcupine Tree through In Absentia and Stupid Dream (as I was), this album will go beyond your expectations.Porcupine Tree has a much different sound in these older albums. The music is driven mostly by instruments in this album (very little vocals), with some of the best instrumentals I've ever heard: Waiting Phase Two, Idiot Prayer (my personal favorite on the album). Waiting Phase One and Darkmatter are also classic. Although the sound is much different - this album is essential to any Porcupine Tree fan. I personally listen to this more often than In Absentia and Stupid Dream. In this album, Porcupine Tree sounds very similar to Pink Floyd, so it will be a treat of Pink Floyd fans as well.

Underrated by reviewers,
By Nathan M. (Frederick MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Signify (Audio CD)
Signify is an album about significance. Hence the title. People who are going to buy this album are probably already big into Porcupine Tree much like myself when I bought it. If you are a fan you will not be dissapointed in the least. It is a bit heavy on the instumental side but that's no a bad thing in this case. It is a very atmospherical cd. The flow is excellent and each song has something interesting about it. The only exception to this I would say is Pagan. It's a short trippy piece but there isn't to much that stands out. It's more of a song connecter between The Sleep of No Dreaming and Waiting Phase One. If you are even thinking of buying this album then you should. This is however my opinion just like the other people who rated it as they did. From Bornlivedie to Dark Matter the work on this cd is simply excellent.
