It was also something of a breakthrough for the band, eventually going on to sell three times more than the band's previous releases. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new 2LP Transmission 2021 reissue of \"In Absentia\" is presented in a gatefold sleeve and remains faithful to the original artwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58218723180927,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/0525\/5551\/files\/71LPXhVj7HL._AC_SL1200_503cb36c-2dd7-4ea9-b182-7e96d946cebb.jpg?v=1787207881","url":"https:\/\/thevinyltable.com\/products\/porcupine-tree-in-absentia-2lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
