In Absentia is the seventh studio album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. Rocking harder than before, this album is even more stunning than the previous ones, and is often quoted as the best in their discography. It is chock full of excellent songs, progressive and melodious, with intriguing lyrics. One critic said: "Steven Wilson was clearly set upon constructing intelligent popular music." Just a few of the highlights are Trains, The Sound Of Muzak, Prodigal, and especially Blackest Eyes, Lips Of Ashes, Gravity Eyelids, and Heartattack In A Layby.
