“Fear Of A Blank Planet” je konceptualni album, navdahnjen nad romanom Breta Eastona Ellisa “Lunar Park”. Koncept postavlja v središče mladostnika, ki se utaplja v brezmejnem dolgočasju, pomanjkanju pozornosti, pri čemer ‘golta’ različna pomirjevala, ki jih prejema na recept, se utaplja v igranju računalniških iger, je obdan s filmi brezumnega nasilja, ‘praznega’ seksa, ne ogiba pa se tudi manevrov samodestrukcije. Na albumu gostujeta Robert Fripp (King Crimson) in Alex Lifeson (Rush).
