Hey Metal88. How goes it?
I interviewed Devin before the show for my radio program.
I like Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing a little less than City, and SYL even less than HaaRHT. But still, when they were playing the songs live it all blended in nicely (or chaoticly, rather) together.
During the interview Devin mentioned Accelerated Evolution and SYL as being kind of the yin and yang of each other, and suggested listening to them back to back. I haven't tried it yet, but it might produce a little more appreciation/understanding for SYL. We'll see.
I do love AE though. It's up there with Terria and Ocean Machine for me.
