I’ve encountered this a lot amongst Porcupine Tree fans, who’ll buy limited vinyl editions of SW’s other projects such as Bass Communion, then boast that a) they don’t like the dark ambient genre, b) they don’t own turntables, and c) the cellophane will always remain intact. Pathetic.

I don’t like plenty of albums, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to annoy people who liked them. Poor etiquette in my book. Sounds like he’s not worthy of your time.

So “arse” is a bit on an understatement.

Thing is, I think the album is brilliant.
