Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2010, 'Atlanta' marked Porcupine Tree's return after a four-year hiatus following their acclaimed album 'Fear of a Blank Planet'. At this point in their career, the band had solidified their status within the progressive rock genre and was seeking to expand their sonic boundaries further. This album came during a transitional phase, as the band began exploring more experimental sounds while still retaining their core identity.
