The Future Bites

by Steven Wilson

The Future Bites cover art

Departing significantly from the progressive rock and metal epics of his past, the Porcupine Tree frontman delivered a heavily electronic, 1980s-inspired art pop record. Designed conceptually as a critique of modern consumerism, algorithmic data mining, and internet culture, the album features infectious synth grooves and disco influences alongside his signature meticulous sound design. The drastic sonic shift heavily polarized his dedicated fanbase.
