I don't give a damn about Daniel Gildenlöw, but Devin Townsend is a fucking genius. I like pretty much anything I've heard involving him, including SYL.

The three first albums are indeed good, but not my favourite by Death. I have all of their albums, Chuck was a fucking great musician.
IMO their best albums are Individual Thought Patterns and Symbolic. Human would be the third (fucking all-stars line-up - Chuck, Paul Masvidal, Steve DiGiorgio and Sean Reinert).
For those who don't like the first albums, which sound very raw, ITP and Symbolic are the best shot

Don't know anything about his other projects, but SYL sounds pretty meh. Their "New Black" album bored me to tears

The New Black is more melodic, and perhaps a bit more accessible than the other SYL albums. It's probably my least favourite, though Wrong Side, the title track and Almost Again are great tracks. You should try Alien or City, but if you didn't like The New Black, chances are you won't like those either.
Some of his other stuff though, is very different from SYL, and some of the most interesting progressive metal you'll come upon. Try Terria and Accelerated Evolution.

I will. I don't like to say a band / musician sucks before really checking the material. His only work I got to know was SYL, and I didn't like it. Doesn't mean his other projects aren't good, though.

The golden age of metal was '83- '93. Everything that came out after is subpar, all that predates was largely irrelevant.

Alien is a terrible album. The first 5 tracks are solid, but after that it degenerates into ambient crap.
The Sound of Perseverance is one of the best metal albums ever

Yea, the thing is that he isn't into old-school death metal at all,
so I'm not sure that's a good recommendation. He likes Blessed are the Sick, but it doesn't sound like a regular OSDM album , production-wise anyway. You know,the filthy compressed abrasive
and dark sound.
Because you listened to quite possibly their worst album

Accelerated Evolution and the Ocean Machine album are my favorite Hevy Devy works. And I must agree, his solo material is way better than SYL...even though I think Ziltoid is a horrible and obnoxious album.

It's a bit odd, and maybe not for everyone.
Ziltoid sounds a bit too much like SYL, without the insanity that makes SYL fun. Still a few decent tracks on that album though.

That's supposed to be controversial?
Still, he only likes metal and makes too many generalizations about genres he's not well-acquainted with.

I feel like the people who download their whole collection in only singles, which is most people, is what really puts me over the edge. Listen to the whole fucking album.
