Arghhhhhh .... yes. Big fan of Ihsahn, and Devins shit is always great.

DLG · 02-02-2011, 04:05 AM

SYL beats both death metal and black metal bands at their own game, so if Deconstruction is similar to SYL output it will be a perfect fit.

I can see Isahn singing on songs like Devour.

Cyntex · 02-02-2011, 08:43 AM

That's pretty badass, two of my favourite singers and artists gettin' together.

Krullnar · 02-10-2011, 07:35 AM

Most all of Devin's stuff is timeless and up there with the best music ever recorded, but there's something about this album. It's ....ing crazy. Namaste is maybe the best opener of all time. Victim... Material... then the frozen whiskey hammer to the balls- ....ing KINGDOM.

And it's not like your balls get a rest after that. I don't know... it's so good, it needs a thread. This is one of the great achievements in heavy music. I heard this is Devin's least favorite of his discography?!?

DLG · 02-10-2011, 08:32 AM

I think it's his least favorite because he didn't like the mix, which wasn't done by him or the people who usually do his solo albums.

And maybe because it was some kind of halfway music between his solo stuff and SYL.

I love it, it's not better than his early solo stuff, but I like it more than Synchestra and Addicted for sure.

There are some epic ass songs on this.

tr0n · 02-10-2011, 08:44 AM

I love Kingdom but I haven't really listened to it as much as Synchestra and Infinity, which took some time to grow on me. I loved Addictedfrom the get-go though. Can't wait for Deconstruction.

DLG · 02-10-2011, 08:51 AM

Planet Rain might be a top 5 devy song

pineappleman · 02-10-2011, 09:05 AM

I actually don't really like this one that much aside from Namaste and Kingdom. Which is probably just because I haven't listened to it enough. And yeah the mix is pretty shit compared to his other albums.

EDIT: On a side note, Devy's recent tweets have been extraordinarily entertaining.

Way too much music for the choir........ I need a million dollars and 2 years. ....... we'll do it. Punk rock choral sessions ftw

One more hour to go... one and half more songs... also: Hearing 15 women sing 'I farted' rules.

I started digging around on YouTube a couple days ago and discovered Physicist. Every day when I come into work it’s pretty much the first thing I listen to!

1. Soul Driven

3. Canada
4. Deadhead
5. Planet Rain/Processional

Triple7 · 02-10-2011, 09:50 AM

It's a great album, I wish he would re-mix it. I think it definitely deserves that.

He has made statements implying that he plans to re-record at least some of the material.

I love this version of Kingdom, and would quite happily buy an album of mixes like this:

That's awesome news!

I definitely prefer his live version of Kingdom to the one on the record.

It's funny that this album started out as a side project with Jason Newsted called Fizzicist, and is actually his only solo album to feature the Strapping lineup on it.

DLG · 02-10-2011, 11:10 AM

I used to have some of those newsted/dev demos on my computer, but I think I don't anymore.

nothing special, as I remember.

krypter · 02-10-2011, 02:42 PM

I love Devy as much as the next perfectly-geeked-out-straight man, but Ocean Machine is still his best IMO. Followed by Accelerated Evo, and Terria.

But really i'll listen to anything he does and love at least most of it.

ARG! Uh..uhm......Funeral, Deadhead, Death of Music.

leftyguitarjoe · 02-10-2011, 03:21 PM

My favorites so far are Accelerated Evolution and Addicted.

pineappleman · 02-10-2011, 04:43 PM

Top 5 Dev songs is IMPOSSIBLE. Best I can do is albums.

1. Massive tie between Accelerated Evolution and Synchestra
2. Ziltoid
3. Addicted
4. Ki
5. Infinity

all dev is good dev, but this list is downright blasphemous.

EDIT: He posted another short update on youtube. Expect a visual mind.... around 11 seconds.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how epic Deconstruction is going to be. IN ADDITION to the obscene amount of layers and crazy shit he puts on his average album, this one will contain:

Ihsahn
A 60 piece orchestra
A 20 person choir

Also, thread successfully derailed.
