Latest reviews

Empath
Finally free of all artistic constraints once more, Devin Townsend makes just the album he wanted to make.   Review by RaduP ››
Transcendence
9.2
"Transcendence" is not a big enough word to describe this album. Transcendence is the first true collaboration between Devin and the rest of the Project, featuring songwriting contributions from the stellar cast of musicians that has helped bring Devin's machinations to life over the course of several releases. Not only that, but Transcendence also returns Devin to his throne as a much more personal album than DTP's last few offerings and the strongest musical statement he has made in quite a few years.   Review by ScreamingSteelUS ››
Z²
7.0
Uh oh, Apothecary is reviewing a prog album. Hold onto your undergarments, ladies and gentlemen, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.   Review by Apothecary ››
Epicloud
8.5
One of the alluring aspects of Devin Townsend's genius is that none of his albums are the same. Constantly trying something new, each album a contrast to the last, Epicloud is no different.   Review by Baz Anderson ››
