I tried to get into this again today and the damn production just kills it, way too many vocal layers, I just want to hear devin sing some straight forward awesome shit, this choir stuff is getting out of control.

Album Rating: 3.5

I consider this two separate albums. Both are 3.5-4 and I think I might actually prefer Skye Blue in some respects. Besides that, Fallout promo version >>> Anneke version.

Have to agree with Gmork about those choirs.

And I never liked Anneke on any of the project albums.

Album Rating: 3.5

NOT EVEN ADDICTED?!?!?!?!

This is Devin's worst release besides the first Ziltoid.

Devin ranked:

Ocean Machine
Terria
City (SYL)
Infinity
Casualties of Cool
Addicted
Deconstruction
Ghost
Heavy As a Really Heavy Thing (SYL)
Ki
Accelerated Evolution
Synchestra
Alien (SYL)
Epicloud
Physicist
Punky Bruster
The New Black (SYL)
Strapping Young Lad (SYL)
Z2
Ziltoid the Omniscient

Addicted is my least favorite of all DTP lol. Has some great songs but... Anneke's presence underwhelms me.

Album Rating: 4.0

Thats my favorite man. Always cheers me up big time

ok I just bought this yesterday, how's everyone doing their tags just out of curiosity?

was thinking of doing DTP - Z2 but decided against that, ended up having it as DTP - Blue Sky, and Devin Townsend solo - Dark Matters disk 1 (normal) and disk 2 (raw)

I think it works better that way as Blue Sky is definitely a DTP album but Ziltoid is not part of the DTP series so Dark Matters wouldn't fit under the DTP name.

Dark Matters being under Devin Townsend solo also works because the first Ziltoid album I have tagged under that as well.

Album Rating: 2.7

Z2: Dark Matters under "Devin Townsend", Z2: Sky Blue under DTP ye

Album Rating: 3.5

I have Skye Blue as a DTP album and Z2: Dark Matters as DT solo too.

sweet, Rowan knows the good shit. I love all the artwork in this too. It's so lame but awesome haha

"As we're born to ride alone/Never to return"



his vocals during that part tho! And I mean "his" because I only jam the original version with devvy doing the main vox.

Album Rating: 2.5

If only the whole thing were like that!

This is probably the worst non-ambient DT album.

Album Rating: 2.5

It sounds like there is something in the background making some monotone noise, like someone set a beer on the keyboard and nobody noticed it playing the same random synth note for the duration of the recording process.

Album Rating: 3.5

Aside from Fallout, New Reign and t/t are pretty sweet imo.

Album Rating: 3.5

I still like this a lot, but its not as amazing as I first thought it was.

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off

Sky Blue is still really fucking fun, similar vein as Epicloud but more substantial, but Dark Matters is just as often boring as it is interesting. Poozers alone do not a classic album make.

Album Rating: 3.5

Lol, them poozers... War Princess is an awesome song from Dark Matters.
