"Deadhead..." The Best Of Devin?

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

I posted here awhile ago, saying that I had purchased my first Devin Townsend CD, ACCELERATED EVOLUTION, and that I had loved it. And I had mentioned two songs that really impressed me, "Deadhead" and "Away."

Out of those two, I would have to say that "Deadhead" is just an absolute masterwork. And that's not a knock on "Away," it's just that "Deadhead" is that good...

Now, not having heard the other Devin Townsend CD's, I will have to say that this is the best. But I'm sure the good people here at the Devin Townsend boards have heard better. I can't really imagine it, but I'm sure there's another Devin Townsend song that will absolutely floor me. Who knows?

Deadhead has to be my favorite on AE,with suicide and Away close behind.That album is such a masterpiece.

If you want more incredible Dev,then just go out and buy Terria or Infinity RIGHT NOW!!!!!

You can't go wrong.

 

[COBetterthanyou]

storm and namaste (physicist) are my fav. songs from him.

A.E.>terria>OM>physicist>infinity

 

[OfficerDown]

'Truth' has got to be my favourite Devy track, and my favourite of all time.

 

[Alex78]

check out the songs "Funeral" and "Bastard" from the Ocean Machine album, as well as "Earth Day" and "Deep peace" from the Terria album!

AE=OM>Terria>Infinity>SYL>Physicist

Planet Rain-Death Of Music-Soul Driven Cadillac for more in the Deadhead vein, Says I.

 

[Pieless]

Death of Music=Devin's greatest work IMO.

To keep up the trend.

Terria>OM>AE>Infinity>Physcist


Also, to the person who said Truth was there fav Devin song. I always found it odd that it is almost by far my favorite song on Infinity, it's just an amazing track.

Man, I need to get TERRIA or OCEAN MACHINE soon...

 

[Pieless]

Man, I need to get TERRIA or OCEAN MACHINE soon...

I see a typo, you meant "I need to get Terria AND Ocean Machine soon..."

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Infinity>Terria>OM>AE>Physicist

 

[Demonspell]

Terria>AE>Ocean Machine>infinity>Physicist

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Boy...it doesn't look like PHYSICIST makes it high on your lists...

It's not that bad, is it? Or is it just a good CD among remarkable CD's?

 

[azal]

yeah exactly.

excellent CD, but not quite up to Devy standards IMO.

of course some people love it the most so...

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Well, that's interesting...

But most people want me to get TERRIA for sure...

Though OCEAN MACHINE does look tempting...

 

[Pieless]

Physicist is catchy, fun, and enjoyable. I just don't see where it is as deep and layered as his other works. I might be missing something though. It is a very good album, but compared to Ocean Machine or Terria, it just doesn't rank high.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

"Deadhead" is an amazing and perfect composition... certainly one of Dev's best.

Terria>AE>Ocean Machine>infinity>Physicist

I would agree with this... though I'm still uncertain about Terria vs. AE... I feel Terria has higher high points... but AE is more consistant.

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

'Higher high points?!?!' Wow. The best songs may just be out of this world...

 

[Alex78]

AE is just so great! but Slow Me Down is not my cup of tea, definetely. this sounds like punk rock with cheese lyrics
