I feel like it's a culmination of his DTP albums, and that's really about it



maybe a couple of his solo albums

The concept is about being able to take a breath and pls not kill yourself.

Album Rating: 3.1

his guitar skills, his vocal talent, his ear for amazing guitar tone, unique sense of melody and mood. i don't really listen to devy for zany bullshit for 72 minutes which is what i got and all of the above pretty much got scaled back. i can't name a single track on empath i like from start to finish.

Empath was hysterically bad to me but I'm gonna give it a lot more listens and reserve full judgement, it is very unique compared to what I usually look for in heavy music

what you call "zany bullshit" I call literally what Devin has been doing for his whole career [2]



Like...have you actually listened to Infinity?

Album Rating: 4.0

EMPATH is amazing

Album Rating: 3.1

yeah, glad I'm not the only one who thought of Infinity. I wish he hadn't hyped this up so much as a culmination of all his past albums because like Infinity it feels more like a preview of all the stuff he could go on to do. Like Why? seems to be a preview of that Moth orchestral album he's making, and the bit in Borderlands with Che is hopefully a sneak peek of Casualties 2 etc.

With all due respect Noctus it seems like you're exactly the kind of fan Devy was looking to get rid of with Empath

Album Rating: 4.0

I thought Transcendence was quite vapid compared to his other works, but don't get me wrong, I love the tracks Stormbending and Higher a lot

Transcendence is basically Devy making his "generic prog metal album".
I love this album because it's got some big tooooonz on it. But it's not got much of the personality that I love from Dev.

Deconstruction could also fit there too.

Empath has, like, infinite replay value. Wow.

Album Rating: 3.0

Yup, listened to it about 6 times in the last 2 days.. im addicted.

Album Rating: 4.5

imma give it another spin tonight but i'm not expecting miracles

I'm a bit torn on the new album, I feel like if he just cut out some of the lol tracks (Sprite, Who) and plugged in some of the better demos, the album would be an easy 4.5. As is, it just feels a bit overindulgent despite some great high points.

"Transcendence is basically Devy making his "generic prog metal album"."



I believe he had fun with it tho and actually got songwriting input from the other musicians, for once. All I've heard him say about it was that it was a rewarding experience.

I don't recall digging this one much but I need to give it a listen again. Empath is puzzling, I don't know if I like or dislike it. I think I just miss this guys music when he was on drugs, as shitty as that is to say. And I am getting absolutely sick of hearing Anneke on every goddamn album he writes now.
