Porcupine Tree release that equals Lightbulb Sun?


I'm a Porcupine Tree fan. Love Lightbulb Sun and In Absentia. Own several earlier releases. Own Deadwing...blah. That's when I stopped buying PT recordings.

Do any recent Porcupine Tree releases measure up to Lightbulb Sun?

I have all of their albums on CD and most on vinyl and many on DVDA. My fav is Deadwing. It grows on you with a few listens as I didn't care for it at first. The new one is good too. Try the Blackfeild albums because they are not as heavy as PT's later stuff. Also get the PT DVD it is great. I saw PT in Atlanta last year.
Riverside is very good as well as Damnation by Opeth which was produced by SW. Get the PT DVD you won't be disappointed unless of course you don't like PT.
I don't understand Tvad. If you like In Absentia, why wouldn't you want another album to be reminiscent of it? Fear does take time to get but once one does it's very good. I don't think it's as good as Deadwing but still quite good. The lyrics don't really matter to me as long as the music is good.
From Richard Thompson:

Bleak is good! Happy songs are OK, if it's something you're dancing to, but listen to Julie Andrews all day and it might drive you nuts.
I would have to say Deadwing is my favorite but love all of them except maybe the first which is merely good to me.

Lightbulb Sun has recently been released on DVD Audio.
