02.13.15 | Devin pre-Epicloud kicks SW's balls.
The Raven is probably in my top 10 albums ever though. At least top 15. |
Titan
02.13.15 | it would be nice if they knocked each other out tbh |
Necrotica
02.13.15 | Uh, Devin Townsend wins. Is this even a fair battle? :P |

02.13.15 | pt > dt > sw > syl |
Mythodea
02.13.15 | I think DT has been a master of extreme sound, is a guitar virtuoso and brings new ideas on the table more often, but SW has a better overall sound. I haven't given DT any chance to prove his worth. For now, I'd say SW, but after I delve into DT, maybe the tables will turn.

02.13.15 | Stevey all the way but it would be nice if he did something ridiculously out of his comfort zone like Casualties |
climactic
02.13.15 | hevy devy 4 sure |

Spec
02.19.15 | Townsend definitely. |
DrGonzo1937
02.19.15 | The winner is always the guy that takes himself the least seriously. |
CK
02.19.15 | Lol honestly, I think you need a nice mix, and these two are complete opposite ends of the spectrum in that regard |
DrGonzo1937
02.19.15 | True. I've always considered Townsend to be the guy that took over Zappa for the wacky themes, next to Les Claypool, anyway. |
CK
02.19.15 | Never thought about that. Also, Devy is crazy. Les is just weird lol |
Gnome7
02.19.15 | I love steven wilson but devy wins hands down. |
Whispered4tw
02.23.15 | why not both? |
Lethean
02.23.15 | townsend no competition |
VaxXi
05.02.15 | Steven because Devin makes me want to stab my head into a spiked wall |
CK
05.02.15 | Devin the Pude maybe yeah but Devin Townsend is phenomenal you assnugget |
VaxXi
05.02.15 | they both make me want to stab my head. |
KerfuffleinaHussle
05.02.15 | edgy opinion is edgy asf |
KerfuffleinaHussle
05.02.15 | also townsend >>>>>>>> wilson end of argument |
WeepingBanana
05.02.15 | both give new meaning to the word "cheesedick" |
VaxXi
05.02.15 | How is it edgy? I just find Devin grating as fuck and it makes it impossible to even try to approach his two billion different albums and "projects" |
L4titudes
05.02.15 | I think they cancel each other out |
KerfuffleinaHussle
05.02.15 | "I just find Devin grating as fuck and it makes it impossible to even try to approach his two billion different albums and "projects"
If you can't acknowledge the musical accomplishment of the 'Funeral/Bastard/The Death of Music' sequence from ocean machine you a crazy motherfucker |
VaxXi
05.02.15 | I couldnt get far enough into the album without bailing :/ |
porcupinetheater
05.05.15 | Both are two of the best working right now. But as the years go by, SW seems to be getting better and DT's dropping off a bit. Ocean Machine > all, but Grace for Drowning, Raven, H.C.E >>>>>>>> Epicloud, Sky Blue, Dark Matters.
Probably Steven. |
LilLioness
05.05.15 | Devy has a sense of humor, a sense of humility and a willingness to truly experiment. Sure a lot of his recent stuff gets that Accelerated Evolution filter, but motherfucking Casualties of Cool. |
porcupinetheater
05.05.15 | Can't believe I forgot about Casualties of Cool, god Damn. That album's a masterpiece by any fucking stretch. Keeps it closer to the Ki vein than anything else, and Ki was already one of my favorite Devy's. |
Flugmorph
05.05.15 | I love both's music but devin is just more lovely and an allround crazy - cool guy |
KerfuffleinaHussle
05.05.15 | If Steven Wilson ever writes anything as downright unique and individual as Infinity or Casualties of Cool I'll eat a handful of my own shit |
Flugmorph
05.05.15 | and film it pls |
beefshoes
05.05.15 | Easily Townsend, but I haven't dug anything Townsend has done since Ghost.
Z2 was flat out awful some of the time. |
KerfuffleinaHussle
05.05.15 | "Z2 was flat out awful some of the time."
I will concur with this. Even "most" of the time I'd say. But Dev admits the label pressured him into writing that record to the point that he has said it felt like he was creating something he didn't want to create at times. Casualties is where his creative mind is at atm, and it shows, in that it fucking slays. |
Flugmorph
05.05.15 | i really liked z2
nearly loved it tbh, and still do |
beefshoes
05.05.15 | Addicted is probably my favorite of his solo releases these days, and I love most of his work. I feel like I should at least like his last two projects, but they bored me with repeated listens. I initially liked Casualties but it grew off me after a few listens as well. Even though I haven't liked much of his recent stuff, I still have a tremendous amount of respect for him. The same goes for Wilson, but there are only a handful of his records that I enjoy (and his newest one is one of those). |

05.05.15 | . is this even a question
