While not a formal concept album, many of the songs have common themes related to serial killers, youthful innocence gone wrong, and observations of the modern world, setting a template for many of songwriter Steven Wilson's future songs. In Absentia features many of Porcupine Tree's most beloved songs, including ''Trains'', ''The Sound of Muzak'', and ''Blackest Eyes''. It also represented a commercial breakthrough for the band, eventually going on to sell three times more than the band's previous releases. Not many albums can claim to have created a new genre, but with its fusion of metal, progressive rock, ambient textures, and acoustic singer-songwriter styled material, it became a blueprint for a generation of bands to come. Featuring remastered stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes, additional studio recordings, a disc of unreleased demos and a new feature length Lasse Hoile directed documentary on Blu-ray, this is a 4 disc set presented in a 100-page hardback book. In AbsentiaР’В was Porcupine TreeРІР‚в„ўs seventh studio album, first releasedР’В in 2002, and was the first in a run of three albums that for many represent the pinnacle of the band'sР’В artistic achievements.
