Devin Townsend

[Dick Sirloin]

People who don't like Ziltoid are probably the ones who choose to watch Modern Marvels instead of re-runs of Rocko's Modern Life. It's pretty much my third favorite.

I've never really understood the love for Infinity. Like most of his projects it's laughably over-produced, but jeebus.

Synchestra and AE I listened to for about a week when they came out, but pretty much forgot about after that. Though I think AE made my official top 10 Royal Carnage list of 2003, back when such a thing existed. Terrible.

Though I don't listen to Ocean Machine or Terria much anymore, they were definitely bigtime for me back in the day and will always have a "special place" in my heart, somewhere between the left ventricle and the wide gaping hole that was left from the first time I heard Physicist.

Ziltoid had a few good songs, but waaaaayyy too much narrating. leave that to bal sagoth.

Terria and Ocean Machine are irrefutable classics. I enjoy AE and Physicist. I agree about Infinity. Some goods songs, though. I didn't like Synchestra, but I really think I wasn't in the mood for Hevy Devy at the time.

I probably need to hear City again.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

City is easily the third best Townsend-related work f'sho

"Hyperdrive" = top 3 of his best songs. isnt' there a new version of it on the new one sung by a chick?

 

[J.]

are the ass-sordid demos worth grabbing?

 

[Chromatose]

The first one is really good.

The second one is terrible, don't bother. It's so bad the CD even comes with a warning sticker on the front telling you how terrible it is.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Synchestra is such a badly formed word.

So is the Devin Townsend Exp. the sort of thing you hep-cats find radical and fancy these days? I guess I am very up-hip because that shit sounds bad bad bad to me.

That's because you seem to have a very linear taste in music.

If by linear you mean awesome, then yep!

 

[Plastic Nathrakh]

I don't

 

[KILL TULLY]

I don't

Shit, I need some gauze for that fuckin'

ICEBUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

 

[Plastic Nathrakh]

Wow you're kinda stupid.

 

[KILL TULLY]

Wow you're kinda stupid.

That's why I'm in the military, duh! Right! We are all dumb dumbs!

Oh noes.

 

[Plastic Nathrakh]

Are you trying to insult me by saying my insult wasn't as bad as it should have been? ....wait...what?

"Your username on YouTube is “Poopy Nuggeteer.” Why is that?

I’m so into scatological humour. I think it’s something really cool to think about. Even the most brilliant person still poops. I imagine this scenario where people, who are infinitely more intelligent than you and I, are sitting around in a room talking about secret government masonry and superstructure, but in the middle of it, a guy has to get up to take a shit. That’s something that really connects humans, other than being born and dying. We all shit and fart. So, nothing gets me going better than a good fart joke."

are Hummer and Devlab any good? i'm not into ambient soundscape too much but the EKO extra disc on Accelerated Evolution was real good.
