new Strapping Young Lad

[Genius Gone Insane]

I know this is kind of unrelated, but have any of you hear the new SYL? I personally am totally blown away by the music...

I see Gene is still as tight as ever. He plays drums like it ain't not thing but a chicken wing on a string.......or maybe he's eating the chicken wing.

Sorry, City still tops it all. I've heard all of Alien and its more of a study in noise with occasional harmony then anything else...thats just me...

I agree, "City" is waaaaaay better than this (I'm afraid they'll never do better). But the good point is that "Alien" is waaaaaaaay better than "Strapping Young Lad"... So all in all, a good surprise !

It's an ok album I guess. Certain parts just sound like noise to me also. I wasn't blown away by it. But it's listenable.

Hi Bret. I did'nt know City but SYL was definedly a big surprise to me. Must take a Look to City next time.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

city is one of my favorite albums. pure brutality.

City is amazing, one of my all-time favorite albums. Alien is definitely better than SYL and Shitstrom is my favorite track.

"City" is, for me, Devin Townsend at his best. Then comes "Ocean Machine" in a totally different style...

On a totally different subject, Frank, I downloaded "Razorblade" from Gurd, it's great !!! Did you produce it ? What vocals do you do ?

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

And now that I think about it, I think I've seen one of your first show with the band since I was at the Summer Breeze in 2002 !!! And I saw Destruction this summer at Graspop, where you FOH ?

I think best Devin Townsend albums are City and Terria, but yeah that is just my opinion...

If you've heard the new album on mp3, the only leak that exists is utterly shit... the songs are even titled wrongly.

Certain parts just sound like noise to me also.

You guys are saying it like it's a bad thing...
