Porcupine Tree Review

Let's start with me: I'm a metal fan, for the most part, but I have varied tracks on my playlist, from Slayer's Disciple and Born of Osiris' Abstract Art, to Seal's Kiss From A Rose and Aqua's Candyman. "Heh, not much of a metal fan", you say? Admittedly, there's more of the former and less of the latter type of music, but what I am trying to emphasize is that my views are not bigoted or uninformed by lack of exposure.
Having said that, I recently heard about Porcupine Tree from a couple of friends ("What? NOW?" said the PT fans in amazement), but when I listened to the songs they recommended, I thought "meh". In fact I would have closed it there, but as usual, I had nothing to do at office today, so I browsed my coworkers PCs through the LAN until I chanced upon the PT discography.
Fastforward about 3 hours, to where I'm completing the last album, having heard only about 6 songs which sounded at least original, though 'good' would be a stretch. I don't wanna start a whalefest here now (If there ever will be any comments on this blog *sigh*), which means don't begin ripping Slayer or Aqua or anyone else, because:

1. Frankly, I'm not a rabid neanderthal when it comes to even my favourite music. Go ahead, insult Lamb Of God, see if I care
2. Just because I'm one writing the blog against the many who would tear at my throats, it by no means implies I'm alone in my opinion

Having made the right apologetic noises and little politenesses, here goes -
PORCUPINE TREE IS OVERRATED, IN FACT THEY PRETTY MUCH SUCK!

Now here's the unforgivable bigotry - I would much rather choose this:
