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.

Never really got into the whole world of Townsend but "Kingdom" is in fact a fantastic song, one that still gets regular play time on various playlists of mine.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 22.11.2019 at 20:34 One of his other albums - Epicloud - contains re-recorded version of the song, since Devin himself considered the album, song and production to be somewhat lacking in quality. Epicloud's version is thus seen as the ultimate version of 'Kingdom'.
