I like it when artists who embrace heavy music compose like this. I see it as a take on a style of music, except superior in every way to most others trying to create in this style because of the metal influence and overwhelming creativity, even if it may only play a subliminal part. The downtuning and the sound they got out of the kick drum makes this so nice to listen to. Excellent how the drums are sitting out of the mid-range frequencies, allowing the guitars and synth to breathe in stereo
Umm, beginning 3:28 is the best part. Great song, great album - even if some of the lyrics and musical choices are a little cheesy and hokey. The soundscapes he creates are just pure win.
@Pellefather I feel the same way about Deconstruction and Ghost. I just think about all the music has still yet to make - and that is something to look forward to, indeed!
It kind of makes me sad that Devin has left this type of music behind him. The beauty of the wall of sound.. Deconstruction is too crazy for me, I haven't even had the patience to listen to one song thoroughly yet.. Fortunately I love Ghost though. I wish he would do an album like this again.. Terria is pure beauty.
i love this mans music. its very rare when music can make me cry. Something about this just resonates inside my soul and connects my fibers of life. very moving
@Pillovv You ought to listen to his other band, Strapping Young Lad. They're the exact opposite of this - fast, energetic, pissed off, and crazy beyond belief!
One awesome thing about this album is that he uses heaps of samples to back the music which gives its heaps of dimension. (kinda hard to pick up on youtube quality). I had the pleasure of meeting devin in australia. I can't wait to check out canada!
@pumlin1 yeah - youtube is not the best place to listen to devin's music - need a good quality mp3 (or better yet - the actual album!) and a good pair of headphones.
it only shows how much of an amazing artist Mr. Townsend is. I compare this to SYL and it leaves me clueless. How can u make both so perfectly work one next to another? Canada, thx for Devin!
@catpuke7 In fact Devin defies the concept of comparision itself, bringing it to collapse every time his psychophysical entity materializes in the manifest world from the everlasting pot of infinite chaos.
Nice dude
