[The Fool]

(Quoted from Prodigal_Son at the PTF Forum) "It's called "Fear of a Blank Planet." SW is putting the finish touches on the album this week in Belgium for the album, set for release on April 24, according to a press release I just received via email. It also says that the lyrical content of the song cycle on the album is a "21st century cocktail of MTV, sex, prescription drugs, video games, the internet, terminal boredom, and subsequent escape. The title track, propelled by nervous, jittery energy, sums up many of the album's themes: 'Xbox is a go to me. Finger on the switch/my mother is a bitch/my father gave up ever trying to talk to me.' " ("The press release was from Shore Fire, the PR agency in the US that is handling both PT and Blackfield publicity. They're a pretty big PR firm with clients such as Norah Jones, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, etc., so that's good news for the band.")


The album title is obviously a riff on Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet."

Wenn es wirklich stimmt, weiß ich noch nicht ganz was ich davon halten soll. Kling interessant, aber naja, mal sehen.
Aber der Titel gefällt mir irgendwie sehr. "Fear of a Blank Planet"...


Update:
Offiziell von der Seite

Roadrunner Records and Atlantic USA have officially announced the release of the new Porcupine Tree album "Fear of a Blank Planet" in mid April. The album features six (mostly lengthy) tracks, and is the band’s most ambitious and cohesive work to date. Much of it was debuted last year on tour to a rapturous response from fans.

The lyrical content of the song-cycle on the album is a 21st century cocktail of MTV, sex, prescription drugs, video games, the internet, terminal boredom, and subsequent escape.

More news and previews of the album to follow on this site.
