The perfect song to get your energies really pumped up before some high intensity doing.
Always brings to my mind this one interview where Devin told about making Ki. He couldn't play any loud music because of his little child so he was stuck angry-silently strumming his guitar in the living room and muttering "You bastard.... Goddamn fuck..." under his breath. This song just brings out that side out of the album perfectly.
Devin Townsend is one of the most original and unique artists out there. You don't even have to like the music to appreciate that. I have a mixed reaction listening to this album to be honest, but it's uniqueness is mindblowing.
@Maddolis Rhythm and lead composer refers to that Devin should write the main riffs and rhythm guitar parts, while Petrucci writes the solos, harmonics and leads. They both alternates between lead and rhythm duty. :P
@eliten0Ob Yeah Idk about Petrucci doing anything over Townsend. Used to think he was good but meh, Dream Theater was kind of a high school phase for me. Townsend is something to hang onto for life,
@InquisitorCorteaz THAT'S FUNNY, because addicted ended up being one of his LEAST BRUTAL albums, and deconstruction is gonna be experimental and a musical.
Also, everything Devin has done since has been better than SYL.
I listen to all his stuff religiously. Even Physicist, granted not nearly as much as the others. That being said, this is actually my favorite album of his right now. It's weird, yes, but that's why it's great. You give it enough listens and you start to understand and fall in love with its twisted eeriness.
Musicians that aren't afraid to try new and strange things are the real geniuses if you ask me. Dev never has been and that's why I love him. :)
nah dude... Ki is an amazing album in itself, I doubt Dev considers it just a "warmup"... it may be different from most of his stuff, but it's excellent... just because it's not classic Dev/SYL style does not mean it's just some bullshit Dev spewed out to hold us over til the next few albums...
dev and patton have been my idols for most of my life and i don't think either is better they are both genius just in different lights i love this song btw it seems to have come along at a time in my life when it was truly needed... thank you dev
Love this album , awesome stuff and the best from Dev in years. Easily his best since the epic biomech album which is still my favourite album of all time
I know it's just your opinion and all but I myself would be very insulted if I were Devin to hear you calling this his second only to Biomech. Infinity and Terria were leagues better than this. This album is
I don't think Mike Patton is terrible, I just think he's reached a higher plane of musical understanding than anyone else. While I don't like his music I can still have mad respect for his creativity. I'll probably end up liking his music after a while anyway.
You're ignorant as hell if you think Mike Patton is terrible. You may not like him, but that's just your taste. I don't like Yanni, but I'd never say he's terrible. That would be stupid.
smooth, build, fade, build fade. This whole album Dev just makes a wicked ambient flow. one of the best concept albums of the last decade. Its really him exercising control over his music which is much different than SYL which was about unleashing. As a musician this is true progression in his music, and he doesn't let nostalgia get the best of him. Love it Ki is aptly named
all these songs are structured the same on the Ki album. mind that they all sound amazing and send you into a personal nirvana, it's hard for me to remember which song i like better because they are so similar in sound.
I've just listened to this song and a few others from Ki for the first time and theres no doubt it's amazing musically but am I the only one who feels like it lacks the energy of songs like Almost Again, Love? and Bastard? Maybe it will grow on me more if i hear it more.
It doesn't lack energy, it seems to me that it's brimming with it. It's a very different kind of energy than those tunes, mind you. I know what you're saying.
@Seligsuper i disagree. i mean yeah they are all great musicians, but i don't think it would work out with such vastly different styles all trying to work together.
Remember that Disruptr, as with all of Ki, is just a warm up. if you like the heavy side of Devin like SYL or ZTO, wait for Addicted or Deconstruction. It will get heavier and a lot more brutal with those 2 releases later this year.
Not sure how I feel about this. It's not grabbing me yet, but maybe in time it will. I normally love all of Devin's stuff, but this might take a little getting used to.
I was the same with a few songs on Ki. Not sure about you, but for me, when a song has to grow on me, it typically ends up becoming one of my all-time favorites. I'm happy to report that a lot of Devin's work took time to grow on me.
anyone who cant get into this is shallow and doesnt know what true music is, Devin Townsend is a true innovator of metal and my main influence in basically everything i do
shallow? whatever man. that's a B.S. statement, and I even liked the song. Those who don't like it probably don't like the "odd" tuning or growly vocals.
If you go to the devin townsend myspace, and read the interview you will realise that this is just an introductory album, as the second and third albums will be much heavier, the third (deconstruction) will be 'the heaviest music hes ever made'. fear not fellow metalhead
