For you Devin Townsend people (and Keenan) - Page 4

ThatOneDude · April 2nd, 2012, 06:36 PM

So do I. The flyer itself is enough reason for me to fly/take a train towards Vancouver. Look at this!

Fucking gorgeous. But alas, there's a problem with this.
-Still in high school: School over Devy
-Toronto to Vancouver, then back? Fuck that
-Money

I mean seriously, the cost usually gets jacked up in the west coast (and compared to the US, is a bit more than usual). That's why most people move from British Columbia to Ontario/Quebec/etc. or from California to anywhere else.

I had no clue he was doign a Vancouver show

Wait... fuck! I ballsed it again. There isn't a Vancouver show, I just got my notes mixed up again (also, I forgot to read what was in plain sight - again). I might be thinking of another Devy show that was supposed to happen in Vancouver... either way, points to me for confusing simple facts! Point is, it looks beautiful.

Also, I think he was coming out with a DVD for this so...

That poster looks ridiculous.

Indeed I am. I bought the ticket for that the day after I saw him play deconstruction ^^
I have 3 of the leaflets I think.

It's in London though, not Vancouver!

Lucky man. How much had it cost for you?

And wipe that damn frown off your face!

I made a slight boo-boo, don't get mad at me!

You Tube

Volume warning.

Chipmonkcheeks · April 3rd, 2012, 06:17 AM

I wasn't mad at you, I thought you could come then realised you don't live in England!

THAT VIDEO IS AMAZING!!

Bump because its Devy's 40th today. Happy birthday Dev.

And off the record, I'm playing Ghost over the sound system in the living room - my parents love it.

Keenan · May 6th, 2012, 04:22 AM

Nice!

After listening to Physicist and Ocean Machine a few times, I think these are my favorites, best to worst.

Strapping Young Lad :

City
Alien
The New Black
SYL
Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing

Devy's solo stuff :

Addicted!
Ziltoid the Omniscient
Accelerated Evolution
Terria
Biomech : Ocean Machine
Deconstruction
Ghost
Infinity
Ki
Physicist
Synchestra

Thoughts?

Chipmonkcheeks · May 6th, 2012, 10:18 AM

My turn!

SYL:
Alien
City
The New Black
SYL
Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing.

Devy:
Ziltoid
Deconstruction
Ki
Ocean Machine
Addicted!
Infinity
Accelerated Evolution
Terria
Ghost
Punk Bruster
The Hummer
Synchestra
Devlab
Physicist

It changes all the time though.
I've been listening to Ocean Machine the most, and I'm always listening to Ki ^^
I don't like Physicist as an album. The live versions of the first few songs are really great, and I like Irish Maiden and Forgotten. I think the synths are a bit to prevalent in the whole mix. Gives me a bit of a headache.

ThatOneDude · May 6th, 2012, 07:31 PM

Ooh! Me! ME!

SYL:
City
Alien
SYL/New Black
Heavy

Devy Townsend:

Deconstruction
Ki
Ziltoid
Infinity/Addicted
Synchestra
Ocean Machine/Terria
Ghost
Accelerated Evolution
everything else.

Ki is like my ritual album for the mornings. LOVE that album.
Deconstruction's replay value is amazing.
Also, City is the holy grail. I will argue to the end for that.

Keenan · May 6th, 2012, 08:10 PM

No love for Accelerated Evolution OR Terria from either of you!? THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

But you redeem yourself with City being #1, unlike SOMEONE else...

D.Ingram · May 6th, 2012, 09:03 PM

City? CITY?! OH GOD THE SOUND! IT HAUNTS MY DREAMS!!

I'm willing to bet its because Oh My Fucking God is the audio representation of the listener getting anally raped.

Home Nucleonics is the sound of the apocalypse.

I really like both of those albums but on a scale of Devin Townsend albums they are just piled under loads of ones I like more.
If you took that list and made my best 100 albums ever they would all be in there and relatively intact (as in not much would come in between)

And Home Nucleonics is boss.

The only one that wouldnt be in that list is phzizzzizzzizizt

Keenan · May 7th, 2012, 04:21 AM

........ I'm actually listening to Physicist right now.

I still enjoy it more than Synchestra.

Why is Ki is highly rated from you two though? I'm intruiged.

ThatOneDude · May 7th, 2012, 06:23 AM

I forgot to mention, Underneath The Waves is pretty good as well, as far as "Not-As-Well-Known-Songs-From-City".

Part of it is due to the way Devin described it (to me at least) - a quiet album - as opposed to Ghost which is a peaceful album. While you can obviously tell Ghost is supposed to be light and relaxing, Ki unintentionally does that to a sense. Its just that Ghost is more of a "bubbly, whimsical" peace (Texada, Blackberry, Feather), while Ki has more of a stoicism to it (Terminal, Winter, Lady Helen) - like it wants to be peaceful but still has some rough edges to it, like it has some skeletons in its closet that it wants to get rid of (Disruptr [which on record, I don't like], Gato, Heaven Send). Makes for a calm album which I can enjoy more thoroughly.

If it makes no sense, forgive me.

Keenan · May 7th, 2012, 02:27 PM

Makes perfect sense.

I don't really like it because to me, it sounds like it doesn't know what to do, which ironically, is how Devin desribed making it.

Chipmonkcheeks · May 7th, 2012, 02:42 PM

Ki is just brilliant.
I love all the false starts it had. It builds it self up and up and it wants to go and then it calms down. (What Dude said) Also, Ain't Never Gonna Win up until Ki is one of my favourite things to listen to ever.

Synchestra and Physicist both have their moments. It might be because I've seen some of Synchestra live. Some of the songs I dig and some parts of songs I like, for example in baby song where it goes a bit mad (but the start of that song makes me cringe.)

But Forgotten is so gritty its unreal, I love it. Just makes a nice change from Bad Devil.
He can drink my pee anytime.

I personally like Synchestra because its soooooooo happy like. Kind of. Like, there was Devy happy like in Infinity, Terria, and Addicted, then this.

Also, Immature bump.
