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. Read more ›› |

I found a really cool interview with Anneke talking about her experience recording Epicloud. From her perspective, it sounds like it could be very promising. I look forward to it http://carlbegai.com/2012/06/23/anneke-van-giersbergen-making-changes-epicloud-and-proud/

I read that too, Devin should really consider asking her to sing naked.

That was really hyping, new version of Kingdom sounds fantastic. How come this is the first stage of the recording but the drummer records with what seems to be the complete songs as reference? Did Devin record a first version of the album with average sound? First time I see that, sounds like a good idea.

I saw his tour with katatonia and he put on a great show, DT probably had better showmanship then Katatonia but I didn't stay around for them. They are selling Epicloud on the tour  so I snagged a copy. Devin doesn't disappoint on this record I'd say.

He sounds so... happy. The re-recorded version of Kingdom is excellent.

I read somewhere voice-overs are on the songs with his comments on each song? And I heard that the album is completely different than what fans are used to?

That album is just all I needed right now. Love all the songs but the remake of Kingdom is absolutely brilliant. Can't wait to see him live in November!

Posts: 2311 Written by SceneryOfLoss on 10.09.2012 at 01:56 I came to say that, he certainly had a valid purpose for re-recording this song. And he was serious about naming this album epicloud, it's a very accurate description indeed. So much energy.

Do I hear a reference to Pink Floyd's Animals at the end of "Lucky Animals"?

Posts: 1122 Written by JÄY on 18.09.2012 at 23:24 The "core" of the album is tracks 6-10. The same love-and-be-happy cheesiness is present throughout, but it really picks up energy at "Save Our Now".

Posts: 2311 Written by JÄY on 18.09.2012 at 23:24 Those are the two singles, so probably yes. But... on a second thought, every song on the album could be a single  Anyway, it's worth a full listen or at least make sure you don't miss "Kingdom".

Loved this album. And am I the only one that thinks some of the new demos are absolutely beautiful? Happy Birthday and Heatwave are brilliant tracks

Posts: 66 Written by DelightfulJim on 21.09.2012 at 17:51 Not at all! I almost wish the demos were just mastered like the main disc and that Epicloud was released as an actual 2 disc set because I thought some of those tracks were really awesome.
