Song is bad ass but for some reason when I here this and hyper drive I can't help but think the late great Peter Steele would have been awesome doing a whole little guest vocals here and there.
From 6:45 to the end, I close my eyes and I can go away from the omniverse himself, I can see inside myself, I can forget all my troubles, all the world deseases, I'm my god, I cry like a baby, I'm omniscient as Ziltoid are, I'm alive !
this wasn´ t even one of his more serious works, but still the musical and creative standards is above much else music in the world! though there are parts where the drums are overproduced compared to the rest of the music! but that´ s pretty much it! AND! the storie is maybe a little too corny and over the top, BUT! it´ s DT :P
@ 3:28 I just can't resist the urge to stand up and adopt a heroic manly pose. "I, CAPTAIN SPECTACULAR, hereby give my good word..." with that music in the background? TOO epic.
Great video man! Sound is album-quality, and the visuals you present are perfect: not too flashy and not just a still picture. Perfect for letting your imagination run wild in this incredibly descriptive album.
So far ive loved all the videos you put on youtube for Ziltoid!
Hey, thanks for the great comments. I'm glad you enjoy my videos! Thanks for the compliments regarding the visuals. There is a vague method behind the way I arranged them here (i tried to use pictures that I thought had a dark, mysterious quality for the section that begins at 6:57, for example), and it seems to work. I had fun putting it together.
Anyway, sorry for the late reply. Stay tuned for Dev's new album which is out this summer!
This is amazing. Perfect video! The music and pics fucken complements eachother like nothing I've ever seen before. I so need to top this of with a smoke now man... thanks a ton!
i know RVP the drummer for Dev's band and asked him what he thinks of the drums on this album and he his responce was "i would love to play this stuff" some of the stuff on this album just seems almost impossible to pull of live and he grinned.
My mistake, I could have sworn that this was Mean Gene's drumming, but it was only programming. I am somewhat dissappointed, but not enough to go any further with this!!
dev used the drum kit from hell on this album, hopefully strapping young lad and the dtb will get back together. Gene Hoglan is a fucking awsome drummer though.
When humanity can comprehend the notion that Devin Townsend exudes musical wisdom in a world where music has otherwise died, we will be overrun with plastic so-called "music"!
he generally doesnt have huge sucess cause he cant play shows, he plays all his instruments, does all the vocals, he had to get other people to join up for Strapping Young Lad so they could play shows, but yeah, he does everything by himself for the most part
It is simple: Hevy Devi doesn't have any huge success because he can write music. All of these other bands makes songs that are catchy for about 5 minutes. It is hard to explain, but all of the good writers are all gone. Devin is part of the remains.
I can't wait to hear this song on the vinyl version of the album I ordered

This is one of the greatest albums ever made. Equal parts introspective and hilarious, and totally musically mind-bending.
