well , i heard the leaked album, and i believe it gona end up as one of the best releases of this years, may be we will have another great relases later this year, since we have some other talented bands gona release their albums .. but the main point is, we have a spectacular album here, fulled with the talent of HevyDevy, plus this list of guest musicians is just making the album a masterpiece ..

Just listened to the whole record and i must say that this might be the best release of 2011 by far! I loved Septicfleshs new one but this top it

Damn, Devin Townsend albums are always good just for the fact of their sheer creativity, but so far after maybe 5 solid listens I really think this album loses momentum on a lot of the longer tracks just trying to keep it all flowing together. he said it'd be a total SHITSTORM! and it is for the most part ( in a good way of course). It's also very silly.

Devin Garret Townsend (born May 5, 1972 in New Westminister, British Columbia, Canada) is a Canadian musician and record producer. He was the founder, songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist in extreme metal band Strapping Young Lad from 1994 to 2006 and has had an extensive career as a solo artist.
After performing in a number of metal bands in high school, Townsend was discovered by a record label in 1993 and was asked to perform lead vocals on Steve Vai's album Sex & Religion. After recording and touring with Vai, Townsend was discouraged by what he found in the music industry, and vented his anger on a solo album released under the pseudonym Strapping Young Lad. He soon assembled a band under the name, and released the critically acclaimed City in 1997. Since then, he has released three more albums with Strapping Young Lad, along with solo material released under his own independent record label, HevyDevy Records.
Townsend's solo albums, a diverse mix of hard rock and progressive metal, have featured a varying lineup of supporting musicians. In 2002 he formed The Devin Townsend Band, a dedicated lineup which recorded and toured for two of his solo releases.
In 2007, Townsend disbanded both Strapping Young Lad and The Devin Townsend Band, taking a break from touring to spend more time with his family. After a two-year hiatus, he began work on a four-album series called The Devin Townsend Project, with each album written in a different style. The first two entries in the series, Ki and Addicted, were released in 2009. Townsend scheduled tours throughout Australia and North America in 2010 in support of the albums, and plans to release the next two, Deconstruction and Ghost, in 2011.
Townsend's trademark production style, featuring a heavily multitracked wall of sound, has been compared to the styles of Phil Spector and Frank Zappa. His versatile vocal delivery ranges from screaming to an opera-esque singing, and his songwriting is similarly diverse. Townsend's musical style is rooted in metal, and his albums are written to express different aspects of his personality.
After removing himself from the music industry, Townsend cut his trademark hair off and gave up drinking and smoking cannabis. Townsend found it "disconcerting" that he had difficulty writing music without drugs, and that he had trouble identifying his purpose as a musician. He spent a year producing albums in absence of writing, but found it unrewarding and decided to "pick up the guitar and just write". This began a period of "self discovery" where he learned "how to create without drugs".
Over two years, Townsend wrote over 60 songs, and found that they fit into "four distinct styles". In March 2009, Townsend announced his plans for a four-album series called The Devin Townsend Project, with the goal of clarifying his musical identity and being "accountable" for the persona he projects to the public. The project's concept includes a different "theme" and a different group of musicians on each album.

Dunno about this one... Septicflesh had done much better with the orchestra thing, the new Unexpect beats it on the crazy part .. but maybe I've just wanted too much if had expected something between those two . Still need to give it a spin or two. Or maybe many more.

Spectacular release. Well produced, played and organized. Definitely one of the best albums of the year, and up there with Biomech for me in terms of my favorite Devin Townsend material, outside of SYL.

The silly sections of this album really kill it for me. I appreciate the humor, but it's not as well executed as Ziltoid was, in my mind. I don't really care to hear random farting noises in the title track, nor the other random skits and noise.

Yeah, I was surprised too, but I think he didn't want to go overboard, regardless of the concept. I still think it's pretty nuts but in a whimsical kinda way, bursting with personality.
This is one of those rare cases, in my opinion, when the concept behind the album is so awesome, it really makes up for the weaker points of the album. Much like Zappa's album, Joe's Garage, or Floyd's album, The Wall. It's very entertaining and has tons of "lol i c wat u did thar" moments. And I can appreciate it even more when I'm listening to it's sister album, Ghost. Cold and mechanical/warm and natural. It's beautiful, really.

I would also like to point out that what makes the concept *especially* brilliant is that you don't even need to know the lyrics to kinda figure out what the album is all about. A lot of concept albums never go beyond being lyrically conceptual or like... reoccurring melodies or some other bullshit. This stuff is truly MUSICALLY conceptual.
I mean, I usually cringe when I hear the phrase "concept album". It's so pretentious. I mean, all music has some sort of concept behind it, right? But imo, The whole Devin Townsend Project is worthy of being described as such a thing. =3

As soon as both GHOST's are out, i'm buying that 4 CD Boxset.
This CD is amazing. It would be really cool if had a 4 arena tour, playing one album from the Devin Townsend Project each. Maybe this is just way too much to ask, bet hey, i can dream
At the least, hes gotta play with a live orchestra, I don't see another way in really recreating the power of this album live.

I cannot find a bad song on this record, yet i would have preferred the album if it was twenty minutes shorter, and had a different couple of songs as opposed to 'Praise the lowered' and 'Stand',which don't get moving at all. That said,deconstruction is fucking crazy.
