  • 13 people have a different taste of music...

  • Devin wins with pinch harmonics

  • Ziltoid will subjugate 13 people here!

  • I reviewed this online and gave it 5 stars masterpiece - anything less is criminal - Brilliant concept album - funniest thing in years!

  • The greatest thing to happen to music since Mike Patton

  • @blaklodge Hes the greatest thing since sliced bread

  • @blaklodge I've heard of some of Mike Pattons stuff recently. I agree he is a good musician.

  • The most inspirational man on earth.

  • LEGEND.

  • I was looking up review for Devin's albums, and I was shocked to see that there was a review for this album that gave it a 1/5

  • @o0ZporK0o Don't worry his/her ears will explode soon.

    I dont' know which one I like better this one off Ziltoid or Addicted. Shit their both amazing.

  • @Ninspec I prefer the original. It's nice and mellow after the first half of zto.

  • @o0ZporK0o In fairness asking "Vogue" to review this was probably a bad idea.

  • @o0ZporK0o Then I will have to choke a bitch.

  • @o0ZporK0o That review probably wasn't credible. Any douchebag can review an album 1/5 and post it on the internet, but if they aren't established their opinion means dick.

  • @Gore1NOT1Core to be fair, the opinions of journalists and other media personnel don't really either. people should listen to the album themselves before they take anyone else's opinion to hanfd

  • @Gore1NOT1Core

    Actually if this was by who I thought it was (Mike Stagno), he though this album was simply much worse than the rest of Devin's Material. I agree, personally.

  • Everyday's a new day!

  • this is the finest bean

  • parts of this song remind me of type o negative

  • This song is amazing...Also amazing on his other album.

  • why so cold in the night so perfect so cold so perfect so perfect

  • Ziltoid is so omniscient that if there were two omnisciences, they would both be Devin Townsend.

  • This song brings me to tears, every fucking time ._.

  • im obviously a huge DT fan lol

  • space opera song <3

  • I am EATING my dinner right now, while listenning to this epic track.

  • @qdlaty87 fuck yeah dinner.

  • I think Devin Townsend and Dream Theater should record a album together. It will be awesome.

  • @Asche13500 yeahyeah, but I want Portnoy on drums (but singing is forbidden, sry) :Đ

  • @Asche13500 yeah and maybe buckethead too?

  • @Asche13500

    Waaay too different to fit.

  • DT for me includes Devin Townsend and Dark Tranquillity. Dream Theater died with their newest record. I still got DT on my car's license plate just because of these three bands.

  • @Arkandji Why didn't you like the last Dream Theater album? Just curious.

  • @Niamorg1007 By last I mean their current one without Mike. It's not because of Mike. It's just, their melodic value has changed, their drums are unoriginal and even Jordan, who I thought of being the most solid performer of Dream Theater, disappointed me as well. Don't get me wrong, I've got every single Dream Theater album and I liked every one of them until the current one. It's just tearing such a huge gap that I even refuse seeing them play live in my hometown this winter.

  • @Arkandji Fair enough. I liked it, personally, but I respect your opinion.

  • @Niamorg1007 Why is there a DT comment in DT's video, damn you.

  • Wow, this has some amazing emotional depth.

  • Shoegaze Metal?

  • @E3tiger I've always thought the same

  • Ghost is fucking great. If you haven't already checked it out, do so otherwise Ziltoid'll probably fuck you up in some disturbing way while you sleep.

  • Gotta be honest, I'm surprised Devin Townsend hasn't been greatly noticed. His music is pretty mesmerizing and addicting at the same time. Was pretty pissed off when they removed albums off of Spotify (-.-) because I loved listening to them so much :D!

    Also, it would appear 11 people have misread this as either 'Justin Bieber' or 'Rebecca Black'. Poor souls.

  • @Xderda Please think of something other than Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black.

  • Love the messages devin puts out through his songs,, art surely does bring us momentarily together

  • Great song. MUCH prefer the Addicted! version though.

  • @foursmallhats nah, this one is better

  • Grandiosa canción.

  • Love Devin Townsend

  • i'm gettin to love this song bit by bit

    the first time i heard it was on yu gi oh 5d

  • @TheJumbolumbo It was on there?

  • I like this version better than the Addicted version. I have never liked female singers in metal too much, even though Anneke is a great singer.

  • @TMF58

    i know what you mean, it just doesnt seem to fit in the normal contexts. on clean sections it sounds nice, but on anything with distortion it seems out of place.

  • I still don't know if he is coming to Halifax - it's not very clear - anyone know if he's coming with CoB to perform in the Commonroom?

  • Devin Townsend was awesome, saw him at the Ugly World tour in L.A. last month, he kicked ass and def. was a performer. Cant wait to see him again, rock on \m/

  • @Deathsiren Dude.....Grow the fuck up.

  • @MrValidPoint Eat my ass,kid

  • So cold... In the night....

    Hold on... Hold on....

    Magnificent and mind-bending. :-)

  • @Worsthoofd Haha, je username

  • Why didnt I go see this guy in Vancouver last week,awesome stuff,most of it anyways...

  • skrew all u fuck asses who do dont like thez videos bc they fucken rock!!!

  • HUGE Type O Negative influence here, guess he's trying to break into new territory.

  • @MrValidPoint He's always breaking into new territory. That's practically the definition of his career in music.

  • @MrValidPoint Dude, I should destroy you for saying that.

  • The like button would not do this song justice.

  • ZILTOID UP IN DIS MUTHAFUCKA ♥

  • 8 people have shit in his brain , i love both of songs the gathering vocals have her beauty but devin townsend... cmon is devin townsend there is no need to explain it i love him

  • i fucking love hyperdrive!

  • @minusurs SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

  • @namdec100 Hey, dumbass, why should he?

  • I honestly like both versions. Each version has a different intensity that brings something different to the table.

  • @ChromosFel as I first listened to the original Ziltoid version, I never understood nor liked the Anneke version, it felt like "watered-down" or castrated at worst. And I know tons of female singers who would have made it twice as good.

  • i definitely prefer this version a lot

  • I'm trying to figure out if I like this one or the addicted version better.

  • this ones so much better than the one with the chick wailing her lungs out with that terrible voice....

  • @Taud

    I actually like both, the addicted version sounds really nice in it's own way, it does appeal to me at least..

  • @Nikostatik each to their own, i never said ppl werent aloud to like it, i just think her voice didnt work out well

  • Forget it!

    I know now lol XD

  • Where did you get this track?

    Really nice!

  • Q buen tema!!!

  • It's like being in another world

  • best album to come out after 10,00 days :)

    love it!

  • today to see this live !!

  • he used ezdrummer for this album, it sounds so goood!

  • @AsSheBleeds1 It really is,I thought it was an actual drum kit at first!

  • They should beam this song out into space,within no time aliens would start swarming down to get hold of a DT record. Oh yeah,and some black coffee :)

  • @StefanPetrucci

    I do really enjoy that comment, except dat you call them DT. You know DT is most commonly used for Dream Theater? Like I would call some randon band with the initials RATM just RATM because of them. Rage Agianst The Machine will always be RATM and Dream Thater will always be DT. REALLY nice song though

  • @ratmforthewin haha my bad. I also listen to Dream Theater A LOT :D Btw they released a new music video literally a few hours ago

  • @StefanPetrucci

    sorry for spelling "dat" instead of "that. I'm tired as fuck xD. The other time I wrote "Dream Thater" is of course meant to be Dream Theater. Gotta sleep soon :P.

    I'm really glad you didn't take it personally and get angry because of the comment, you seem to be reasonable :D.

    Dream Theater is pretty good. Too bad Mike Portnoy plays with A7X nowadays. I HAVE to watch it, thanks for having me updated ;)

  • I like the guitar in this the best, I like the vocals better on the other

  • I told my cousin about this band, sent him a link to this vid... he didn't like it :(

    I think he's mentally retarded

  • @o0ZporK0o Maybe he's just -metally- retarded =/

  • @toadsticker123 could be

  • @o0ZporK0o i dont think your cousin is a retard because everyone has different tastes but if you get your cousin to listen to this over and over again the maybe instead of hateing it he might even like it and the love it

  • Comment removed

  • @o0ZporK0o Hm, maybe he's not retarded, be respectful! No, wait... he is. There is no other possible explanation... sorry.

  • @o0ZporK0o Nah... everyone has their own tastes... No need to bash people just because theirs doesn't perfectly coincide with yours. This song is fucking bad ass though.

  • @TravuhsWree But he likes this type of music! He's into metal and that kinda thing!

  • @o0ZporK0o Well, I mean, this is "metal" I guess, but "metal" is a pretty vague term. He was probably turned off by the vocals. This is pretty unconventional metal.

  • phoey! they used a hyperdrive! phoey! indeed, phoey!

  • this version is awesome. but still addicted beats this. it has better guitars and fantastic singer

  • actually, the 2 new albums Deconstruction and Ghost come out in march,not may

  • @medude6652 I cannot wait!!! Deconstruction will be the first listen, then chill with a joint and listen to Ghost that night!! Oh my March is gonna kick ass!

  • @bovinemarauder i know, im stoked!

  • Man this sounds too EZdrummer for me to enjoy...I've grown allergic to it

  • Z2 is definitely coming out, check his youtube channel and go to the end of the latest "Deconstrupdate"

  • Can't wait till Z2!!!!

    It's gonna be more epic!!!

    Maybe...

  • @ChrisXDumbass

    What... He's not releasing any Ziltoid 2 as far as I know.

  • @EcafDas I'm pretty sure it's he's gonna make a Z2, even though, I don't think he said it, there is a lot of people, and sources, saying he already has some work done on it.

  • @EcafDas He is, go to his youtube channel and in his "Deconstrupdate" he spends the last 2 minutes shouting "Boobies!" into a micorphone with the rest of the band to symbolise Ziltoid's search for his sexuality.

  • @bagheaddenham I can see everything now.

  • If God was Lemmy Kilmister,

    Devin Townsend would be st. Peter.

  • I had noticed the Addicted version is a half step higher because I was trying to play along with it while tuned in drop C. Interesting

  • 4 people couldn't catch up to Ziltoid on hyperspace 

  • @adrianvdb

    In general, female voices are an octave higher than male voices. So in this case it's an octave + half step up as to the vocals :)

  • I think i prefer this version instead of the one on Addicted. Both great thou!

  • go damn it I am so tripping out of my balls and ziltoid has been there for like ever!!! I love this!!!

  • @adrianvdb He's obviously talking about the vocals, not the guitars.

  • anneke has an ear-piercing voice, Devin's is soothing.

  • @Ninjistic her tone didnt go with the song at all

  • @BabyFacedAssassin301 I completely disagree. I think it worked quite well. That's just me, though.

  • I like listening to to both versions at the same time :)

  • It would be great if they made a mix for this song first a part by Anneke van Gierbergen and then Devin in the second verse etc. I like both versions a lot!

  • both versions of these song are pure mother fucking art

  • I don't get why so many ppl like this version better. Devin doesn't even sound hyper. Ziltoid must've taken away his coffee (like it is in the photo). Should've been titled Mellowdrive. Anneke's singing livened it up.

  • this version is still superior to addicted. honestly anneke on the remake ruined the album for me. this is the good version. new version sucks so much ass. dev please dont ever remake another track and have a chick sing over it ever again. jeez, imagine if he did this to shitstorm

  • @Kankuro1138......honestly i have to disagree with you...i like the progression of the newer track and anneke has an amazing voice...right now you just sound like a dumb ass macho sexcist complaining about him singing with a "chick"...well you kno what...i like chicks and i like being with them...and if you dont then you fuckin gay i dont kno what to tell ya.

  • @bign227

    dont gotta hate. I like the original and stated my opinion. no doubt anneke is hot and can sing, I even like her on other songs, but this just isnt a song she sounds good on, at least after hearing the original so many times, it doesnt stand up. I have no problem with girls on vocals at all, I listen to alot of music, and my wife plays keyboard and sings. So dont try to take your disagreemeent into insult territory. thats all too common on here on youtube - seen it, read it, etc.

  • @bign227 i agree with Kankuro1138, I like this version much better. Yes the other one is awesome, but it all comes down to personal preference. In fact, simply liking a song or something just because there's a chick singing it would be trying to hard to prove that you are straight. Something many homosexuals do because they aren't comfortable with their sexuality and feel the need to overcompensate by acting overly hetero. Just saying.

  • @PantheonMan some ppl naturally prefer how a woman sings...i think its overcompensating to pretend you know what everyone should do/like.

  • @donmajikjuan lol i think anneke has an amazing voice, i just like this version better. i never said, nor even alluded to the belief that i "know what everyone should do/like" and the fact that you're trying to say i did makes you look like an idiot.

  • Devin Townsend is an awesome musician, he´s a fucking genious...

  • I'ma be eatin' ma fucken dinner

  • @nilzardo how can you be a verb?

  • @twitchyAMC NO QUESTIONS AND EAT YOUR DINNER

  • I heard the chick's version first then i heard this one and i like this one 10 times better than the chicks version.

  • a god of prog

  • THERES NO FAVORITE BUTTON! :/

  • the new version of this is awesome! Anneke has an amazing voice.

  • sex.

  • You know you made the video way longer than the song right? hahaha

  • @ChadofDisforia

    It doesn't matter

  • @adrianvdb  yes it does .why wouldn't it .

  • @adrianvdb YES IT FUCKING DOES! lol

  • @ChadofDisforia It's the 3 minutes and 11 seconds one needs to digest it and fully appreciate it :P

  • Whats the Females name who does this song on addicted?

  • @evilfuzz86

    anneke van giersbergen

  • @adrianvdb is that really her name?

  • @adrianvdb from the netherlands!!!:D (me2)

  • @adrianvdb yeah, and she ruined it, lol my personal opinion

  • @evilfuzz86 Penis. 

  • @evilfuzz86 Anneke Van Giersbergen

  • @evilfuzz86 Anneke!

  • i actually like the this version better than the new one, i love the spacy chill feel it has especially in the choros, and devins voice of cause!

  • and i also have a question.. will Devin stop writing after these albums? :(

  • No he wont. :) We will write music in the way he want to write music. We have alot to look forward to.

    cheers =)

  • @adrianvdb Yeah, totally. He has fucking crazy plans. Ziltoid^2, something where he plays bass and wears monk clothing or some crazy shit... He's gonna get a lot bigger.

  • @adrianvdb he said after the tour he has 12 new songs already written

  • brain question

  • @PaybackTyme

    Apparently he wants to make another Ziltoid album after he's done the whole DTP thing

  • @Kwyjibo2006 yeah its been confirmed, its called Z2, although its a small 2 likr "Z squared" if that makes a difference to ya

  • @PaybackTyme ? a musician dont just stop playing or writing music. Not before the day he dies

  • hang on, anyone else read that annotation?!

    ZILTOID 2?!

  • yeah! the working title is Z² (zee-squared). after that, i believe he's expressed interest in possibly following up Ocean Machine, although it's definitely not set in stone, being more than two years away.

  • Definately my favourite song on the Ziltoid album. Well, the whole album just fucking rules.

  • love this song... also love the new version! :D

  • @PaybackTyme I think this version is still better tbh. I got the special edition Addicted album, got a hoodie with it xD

  • wahey :D nice one man!!! Addicted has a weird but... quite likeable album cover :O and i think the only reason why i love the new one is because i heard that version first :) and woot :O a special edition?! thats well good :D haha

  • I'm not a fan of all his solo work but this one is amazing

  • @matzchase

    Me neither at first and I had no clue what i've got myself into. :)

  • this guy is one goofy motherfucker but i cant get over how metal this shit is. this man deserves my money and my praise, getting MY praise is a BIG deal cuz i hate more artists than i like. and my money cuz he rarned it by being cool

  • same here and he is hardcore like seriously and not just some fucker who is trying to be like that like green day and shit like that

  • @IamTiffany1 hes a bipolar nutjob but since he quit the drugs and shit he's become more mellow but ALL his work is great

  • @Wabaanimkii

    Just a wild shot in the dark here, you wouldn't happen to be a Tool fan, would you?

  • @Emberland no im not a tool fan, its not that i dont like them its just that i dont bother listining to them. my musical roots are metallica, pantera, sepeltura, GnR, testement ,ratm and slayer but for the past 4 years ive been finding incredible less known artists
