About this album
Deadwing is the eighth studio album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, first released in March 28, 2005. It quickly became the band’s best selling album to date (though was later surpassed by Fear of a Blank Planet). The album is based on a screenplay written by Steven Wilson and Mike Bennion, and is essentially a ghost story. Given its narrative, most fans have dubbed this a concept album. Wilson has expressed the intention to eventually have this film script made into a movie.
The album includes collaborations with King Crimson’s Adrian Belew (who plays guitar solos on tracks 1 and 4), and Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt (who adds vocal harmonies on tracks 1, 3 and 5, as well as the second guitar solo on track 5).
The complete concept and story has never been entirely announced by the band, and this is likely due to Wilson’s intentions of attempting to turn this into a movie, and not wanting to spoil any portions of the story. Some fans have speculated at the plot based on extensive listening to the album, though there has been no official statement regarding its true meaning.
Wilson said it is a surreal “ghost story,” and “the idea’s ultimately that this album will form a kind of companion with the feature film.” He stated that David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick were major influences for the filmscript.
On September 1, 2006, Steven Wilson announced in his blog that Mike Bennion (Co-writer of the Deadwing screenplay) had released the first fifteen pages of the story.

No, the production is great! I can listen to this stuff on my iPod (absolutely the best way to listen to music) in a crowded bus or tram. Steven's new stuff is shit, it's too quiet. I can't hear a thing.

This album is amazing musically, but it needs a remaster badly, the production is surprisingly shit considering this is Steven Wilson, too loud/bloated.

Probably the best engineered and least clipped/brickwalled album ever conceived

My 2nd favourite PT album. I think everything is great on this except for Shallow, which I think is pretty bland for a PT song and is made even worse by extreme amounts of clipping. Arriving Somewhere but Not Here is the best.

Dear Mr. Wilson, I am extremely sorry for not listening to this album repeatedly on every day of my life since its release. Please forgive me. Sincerely, That one guy you decided not to rapture last saturday because he hadn't finished watching Anesthetize yet.
