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

true. and in addition, it really looks like "oh guys I stole a car last night and it's "FUKEN BRILLIANT" don't be so disrespectful to the crazy bald canadian)

Sooo... all the songs are already on you tube... And I gotta say... Holy shit.

The praise - I don't see it... This album is nothing great, it's good but I wouldn't listen to this more than a few times in a month really. And the comment about it being better than Septicflesh's The Great Mass, don't be ridicilous.

It's all a matter of opinion, eh? If people really love it, let them say what they want. I personally do find it something special and I can really hear the work put into it. But hey, Dev can't please everyone.

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.

It's about a cheeseburger.

The Mighty Masterbator is fantastic. The entire album is in general but that track stands out the most to me.

I have never listened DT before, and today I decided o try this album... Holly shit! I haven't felt like this for a long time. This is the resurrection of Metal! Magnificent! This is the future!

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.

@AlaaEmperoriaEtc.

Spamming much?

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.

The magnitude of the wall-of-sound production in this album scares the shit out of me every time i put this on...

Exact thoughts going through my mind at the moment.

..but the new Diapsiquir beats Unexpect on the crazy part

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.

I don't really find it sounds like either one of those bands... It sorta sounds lie.. Devin Townsend

Extreme mindf***. Thats what this record is.

I still need more listens to understand it but... come on, this record is absolutely awesome.
"Juular" with Ihsahn is pure genious, and the whole list of guess is unbelieveable
