I know but this is first single. So I was hoping for something catchier to promote album.

Disappointing, but I know there's more to the album than this.

I think this should be heard in context of the whole album. After all it's a conceptalbum

I hope to hear something a lot more stronger than this. I don't want to say it but, taking the last album into consideration (and as well as all of the Live material he has been releasing as of late) it seems as though Devin has forgotten what its like to create music on a higher caliber. Nothing he does will equal what he has done in the past. It's just my opinion that's all

I enjoyed the song, but I would like to hear it in the context of the entire concept album. The song very much plays off a similar pattern as "Ziltoidia Attaxx" which I'm assuming was intentional since this song is about Earth being attacked.

I don't really understand the hear something stronger thing that is running through this thread. I'm not sure why Devin owes it to everyone to release the best track on the two-hour double album. I sometimes wish bands wouldn't release anything before the entire album dropped. You people hear four minutes of a two hour album and start cross-referencing a guy's entire discography and making judgments about how he is gone astray as a musician now. This is all hilarious and sad.

As for this particular song itself, it sounds very similar to stuff from Devin's past, it even reminds me of early SYL a bit. Maybe some of you are just looking for something different than what Devin Townsend is offering.

haha, well I guess us folks down here need to keep the world turning while the other side of the globe gets some shut-eye. After all, you never know when and where Ziltoid will strike!

Was kind of a bit of a let down. Was catchy, sure, but it just lacked something. Oh well. New Devin is new Devin, I'll take what I can get.

I hope, I'm sure that there will be better songs. This is pretty weak IMO.

I will assume that this is one of the weaker tracks out of Z2, even though I enjoyed it. Sounded like a groovier version of "Ziltoidia Attaxx!". Still ultra excited over the album and I am sure that I will enjoy this song even more when we put it into the concept itself.

"Fallout" will probably be one of the best songs on this album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtrtl_VWlUA

The production on the album/song is awful really takes away from the song. The song itself isn't too bad, quite catchy but not on the level of the first Ziltoid album.

Still, Day 1 (Well Google all access) purchase from me!
