Análisis (en inglés) - :
Continuing in the growing commercial vein of their previous releases, {$Porcupine Tree}'s {^In Absentia} may be the most accessible release to ever spew forth from the group. Rolling electronic percussion blends with simple and solid live drumming to provide an understated backbeat as perennial {$Tree} leader {$Steven Wilson} pastes his complicated {\pop} over the proceedings. {$Wilson}'s ability to bury his layered vocals in mountains of spacy electric guitar without drowning out his fragile lyrics is still a valued feature of the music, and the rare moments of clarity that his vocals display are breathtaking in their power. A reliance on a somewhat {\gothic} {\heavy metal} sound makes for some bizarre moments, especially when held up against his gentler material. The best example of this is the chugging {&"Wedding Nails,"} which recalls {$Dream Theater} in its grandiose scope without utilizing the same sort of technical wizardry. But {$Wilson} manages to bridge the gap between the various genres he utilizes, creating an environment where his haunting melodies could take a drastic turn at any minute. {$Porcupine Tree} also continue their {$Radiohead} fascination, although the influence is much less direct than on their last few efforts. Instead, it comes through at odd intervals, like the moments of sparse instrumentation on the otherwise lush {&"Heartattack in a Lay By."} Sonically gorgeous and deceivingly complex, {^In Absentia} has the most immediate appeal of anything {$Wilson} has released under this moniker up to this point. By keeping the songs at manageable lengths and avoiding the {\avant-garde} {\electronica} flourishes of the band's early days, {$Porcupine Tree} has grown into a fully realized {\pop} group without cutting any of the elements that also make them an important force in the {\neo-prog} movement. [The album's 2002 reissue included a second disc with bonus tracks.] ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
