The cover is lame, but I'm sure the music will have a minimum base-quality that Devin won't ever lose, so looking forward to the album...

What's wrong with the cover? Too simple?

In my opinion the album title and the cover don't go exactly hand-in-hand, you know what I mean?

After hearing "Drench" (an outtake from Ghost) the cover seems appropriate... we'll see.

Lol...then the title is lame.

Im thinking the cover looks sick...

Well what do you know? The cover's changed, and for the better! Devin must be taking my criticisms to heart...

Thanks for the insight! Good thing it's a slipcase, it didn't look well as a cover...

I didn´t expect this album to be like this. It's half new age and half ambient/chill out. Flutes, electronics, no guitars, no drums..softest melodies ever.

No, it doesn't, but it sure as hell leaves a positive/negative impression, if you know what I mean.

Just to clear the air here; not once have I uttered a single word against the music/album. You can check if you want. I don't know how you came to the conclusion that I'm bashing Devin's latest offerings because of some stupid artwork. I agree with the saying that you've highlighted, but the context in this instance is well and truly off the mark.

I was only observing the fact that you seemed so focused on the art work rather then the music.

How am I supposed to comment on the music when it hasn't even been released yet? I'm aware of teasers/leaked versions, but I'll pass that option. I would like to hear it when it gets released officially.

The artwork is an important part of the album for me, if it has good artwork I tend to be more interested in wanting to listen to the music. Then again there is wonderful music out there hidden behind mediocre cover art.

I didn't enjoyed it a lot...

And here I was thinking I was gonna like Deconstruction more than this. What an incredibly beautiful and moving piece of work. It just feels so... natural and honest. <3 Complete opposite of Deconstruction, obviously.

Enjoyed this a lot. But then, I've always had a soft spot for Dev's softer side. Read my full review here: http://www.realgonerocks.com/2011/06/devin-townsend-project-ghost/

100% agree with this... Its good to see him doing music that HE wants to make and not what people expect... Natural and Honest are exactly what id use to describe this record.

I actually enjoyed this more than I expected to, too.

A relaxing album this is, with few nice melodies here and there but the long songs get a lil boring. i give it a 6.5.

My comment was actually about a previous "cover" and not this one. Look at the date of my post.
And yes, this cover's hella better.

I think this is pure and emotional work, I can feel the songs especially woodwinds parts, Really good work .

I grew to love this cd so much

The lesser of two evils: Harmony and tranquility.

I enjoyed this quite a bit, the flutes and woodwinds were really great

Deconstruction was actually my least favorite album of these four, and probably my least favorite of his that I have heard. It seemed so overblown, lacked focus, and felt the least honest of all his records. Usually with any of his music one can detect an honest display of emotion but I found that extremely difficult to do with Deconstruction. It has its moments for sure, but overall it's pretty boring, especially having seen it all live on the recent dvd set he put out.
