As a Hevy Devy fan, you would expect this album to leave me spasmodically writhing in a corner drenched in my own saliva. But this is very simply not the case, for this album is definitely one of the weaker albums Devin Townsend has crafted over his long, prolific career.
The main problem with the album is its sheer inconsistency. Physicist has a very strong start with probably my favourite opening track "Namaste", providing the listener with almost 4 minutes of sheer madness. Speedy double bass drumming, alarmingly frantic screaming in the same Devin flavour, you know the story. A very solid opener. This is followed by another two well constructed, catchy tracks: "Victim", and "Material", which is probably one of the best sing-along songs Devin Townsend has written since the early years of his solo career.

Underrated, but for reasons as well. Most of the songs are pretty short, save 'Kingdom' and the last two tracks, and i would have liked the album to be slightly longer. Then again, they are deeply influenced by SYL's industrial-meets-thrash-meets-madness movement. A good album, even if it does get a little boring at times.
