"Deadhead..." The Best Of Devin?

Overlord Purple Rainbow · May 13th, 2003, 10:46 PM

I posted here awhile ago, saying that I had purchased my first Devin Townsend CD, ACCELERATED EVOLUTION, and that I had loved it. And I had mentioned two songs that really impressed me, "Deadhead" and "Away."

Out of those two, I would have to say that "Deadhead" is just an absolute masterwork. And that's not a knock on "Away," it's just that "Deadhead" is that good...

Now, not having heard the other Devin Townsend CD's, I will have to say that this is the best. But I'm sure the good people here at the Devin Townsend boards have heard better. I can't really imagine it, but I'm sure there's another Devin Townsend song that will absolutely floor me. Who knows?

Deadhead has to be my favorite on AE,with suicide and Away close behind.That album is such a masterpiece.

If you want more incredible Dev,then just go out and buy Terria or Infinity RIGHT NOW!!!!!

You can't go wrong.

COBetterthanyou · May 14th, 2003, 04:14 AM

storm and namaste (physicist) are my fav. songs from him.

A.E.>terria>OM>physicist>infinity

OfficerDown · May 14th, 2003, 08:17 AM

'Truth' has got to be my favourite Devy track, and my favourite of all time.

Alex78 · May 14th, 2003, 09:33 AM

check out the songs "Funeral" and "Bastard" from the Ocean Machine album, as well as "Earth Day" and "Deep peace" from the Terria album!

AE=OM>Terria>Infinity>SYL>Physicist

Planet Rain-Death Of Music-Soul Driven Cadillac for more in the Deadhead vein, Says I.

Pieless · May 14th, 2003, 02:38 PM

Death of Music=Devin's greatest work IMO.

To keep up the trend.

Terria>OM>AE>Infinity>Physcist

Also, to the person who said Truth was there fav Devin song. I always found it odd that it is almost by far my favorite song on Infinity, it's just an amazing track.

Overlord Purple Rainbow · May 14th, 2003, 02:50 PM

Man, I need to get TERRIA or OCEAN MACHINE soon...

I see a typo, you meant "I need to get Terria AND Ocean Machine soon..."

Overlord Purple Rainbow · May 14th, 2003, 06:05 PM

Ha haaaaaaa!!!

Yeah, I guess TERRIA AND OCEAN MACHINE!

As soon as I can get to my local record store...

Or www.hevydevy.com

Pieless · May 14th, 2003, 06:20 PM

Or www.theendrecords.com

12$ for each CD, that's where I got mine.

Overlord Purple Rainbow · May 14th, 2003, 08:21 PM

Boy...it doesn't look like PHYSICIST makes it high on your lists...

It's not that bad, is it? Or is it just a good CD among remarkable CD's?

azal · May 14th, 2003, 08:23 PM

yeah exactly.

excellent CD, but not quite up to Devy standards IMO.

of course some people love it the most so...

Overlord Purple Rainbow · May 14th, 2003, 08:25 PM

Well, that's interesting...

But most people want me to get TERRIA for sure...

Though OCEAN MACHINE does look tempting...

Pieless · May 14th, 2003, 10:30 PM

Physicist is catchy, fun, and enjoyable. I just don't see where it is as deep and layered as his other works. I might be missing something though. It is a very good album, but compared to Ocean Machine or Terria, it just doesn't rank high.

ProgMetalFan · May 14th, 2003, 11:32 PM

"Deadhead" is an amazing and perfect composition... certainly one of Dev's best.

I would agree with this... though I'm still uncertain about Terria vs. AE... I feel Terria has higher high points... but AE is more consistant.

Overlord Purple Rainbow · May 14th, 2003, 11:45 PM

'Higher high points?!?!' Wow. The best songs may just be out of this world...

Alex78 · May 15th, 2003, 04:07 AM

AE is just so great! but Slow Me Down is not my cup of tea, definetely. this sounds like punk rock with cheese lyrics
