Devin Townsend the Canadian metal genius probably best known for his heavier band Strapping Young Lad also has a great progressive band known as the Devin Townsend Band. Devin Townsend started off his musical career singing on the Steve Vai record Sex and Religion then his band Strapping Young Lad got signed. Devin Townsend is a "melodic" alternative to Strapping Young Lad what are your opinions about him I believe he is great.

Not bad, i dont love it but it sounds good!

But I think he's a bit irracional with what he says, i like his music, and i have kind of following him and he says stuff and them do it, like he wassnt tour again ever, or he only sings his own words and that he would never sing a cover, but then you see...

I dont have nothing against him thou, i like pretty much his Ki and Adictted albums.

And about his new album, i doubt he can surpass KI, i will have to hear it. And having famous guesses doenst really assure you anything.

You have not heard anything from before Ki!? That brings a slight tear to my eye. you should really check some of his older stuff out. Ziltoid, Terria and Synchestra are some albums you need to catch up on

In my books, this guy shits gold. I've had the privilege of seeing him with SYL and meeting him on a couple occasions...very eccentric man, but a mind for music like nobody else.

To be honest, I cannot for the life of me think of anything bad to say about him. I don't know many musicians that can bleed their personality into their music as much as this guy. I mean just look at an average SYL album or Ziltoid. They're batshit insane! I love this guy so much xD

I've only heard about this guy recently for some reason-I guess he was just under the radar for me.

Anyway, that's another group to be listening to along with some Fleshgod Apocalypse.

I can confirm this. Devin had those constant "Thank you guest X" status updates in Facebook/Twitter before he hit the road.

I saw it on a thread on Blabbermouth.net about a track-by-track review of "Deconstruction" and it listed every guest star that appered on that album
