I like Physicist but was pretty disapointed by it, because listen to SYL, Infinty, or Ocean Machine, it's way beyond that.
Physicist didn't go well with the critics or Devin himself. you can't compare it to any other Devins projects, I'd say the worst one(it's still very good). Devin said that he had problems making this album... well he made Terria after physicist, and that one was the greatest, so I wouldn't worry about the 2 new albums.... Can't wait!!
oh yeah, and I heard that Devin is gonna start calling, every heavy project SYL (like syl, and physicist),
and every thing else is going to be The Devin Townsend Band (OM, infinity, Terria, and the new one)
I don't know if this is good or bad, but this information is not 100% so don't fully trust it.
