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 love the rest of his discography, but the Devin Townsend Project albums.. I just don't get them. I want to like them, but something big isn't clicking any more

Written by -DC-002- on 06.09.2012 at 06:52 Dev is an incredible performer. I especially love his "OH MY GOD" and "WHAT'S HE GONNA DO" stuff, along with his goofy faces. x3 Both times I've seen him, he's given 110%, in terms of attitude and musicianship. Such an incredibly down-to-earth and honest dude. Katatonia's frontman (who I've also seen twice, but because they were playing with bands I enjoy) does a really good job of quietly singing into the mic while making sure I can't see his face by covering it with his hair... All to some generic riffing and repetitive breaks. I felt like his performance was something I shouldn't be watching. Like he was a high school kid singing Breaking Benjamin songs into a mirror in his room, because his parents grounded him for getting straight D's. Life's tough, but y u so sayad? ANYWAY, don't get me wrong... I like dark and sensitive music as much as the next totally shameful metalhead, but I just don't get it. But hey, to each his own and all that jazz.

Written by Fat & Sassy! on 04.10.2012 at 02:31 Ya he's an energetic fellow and he actually puts on somewhat of a spectacle rather than just going through the motions (katatonia?).. and ya, it really depends on your state of mind for the music your listening too. I wouldn't say listening to one form of music over another makes anyone lesser than anyone else. Different people run on different fuel, and so on and so forth.

Not bad, some songs were a little slow for my liking. It really made me miss the good ol SYL days but it's still enjoyable.

Also just realised "Hold On" reprises a part from "Slow Me Down" (Accelerated Evolution). Both great songs, awesome that Devin's done that.
