Devin Townsend - Terria

keithb · 04-29-2005, 02:52 PM

Wow, what an album. It's been on almost continuously since I bought it.

Any recommendations for other albums of his to check out? I also bought SYL's Alien, which I'm also enjoying immensely.

Terria's my fave, but Ocean Machine's pretty bloody brilliant as well, particularly from "Greetings" on.

Also, "In the Rainy Season" from "Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing" is amazing.

Infinity ( the first 1 ?) is kinda strange, but it's a cool disk..

So basically, just buy everything that has the words 'Devin Townsend' anywhere on the jacket....got it

How does Devin's solo stuff compare to SYL?

Drew · 04-30-2005, 11:06 AM

Not QUITE as heavy - more singing, although he still screams a bit here and there. He's tough to classify - basically, a Devin Townsend solo album sounds like a Devin townsend solo album.

Think the more mellow SYL moments - the "In the Rainy Season" outro, or "Love?" off the newest. Now, turn that into an entire album.

Devin's just bloody brilliant - in terms of production he's probably my biggest influence (to the point where, one day when "Canada" came on a mp3 playlist set to random I had running, after having not heard it in a few months, I thought it was an original of mine that I just wasn't recognizing for like 30 seconds, because it starts off exactly the way I'd have recorded and arranged it, too.

I hear a lot of black metal and tech/death metal influences in SYL that I don't hear in his solo stuff (mind, I only have one album of each to compare here)

a really good cd with devin it, although not the only singer, is ayreon - the human equation. it is a cd that you have to set aside a few hours for. also, Sex and religion by vai has devin in it. he is an awsome singer
