Hahaha emo metal!

If you mean that Devy sings and writes with emotion then yeah it's emo along with pretty much every great album ever made.

Bob Marley, Brian Wilson, John Lennon etc. Massive emos

That is one very good reason, this album is another even better reason

So I know that .3 is a petty difference between ratings, but what makes this album stronger than Alien? I've been working my way through both of these the past two days and haven't really come up with a clear opinion on whether one is overall stronger than the other.

They're pretty equal to me. Both are amazing.

City is the more cohesive album, but the technicality in Alien reaches a little bit further

I prefer Alien personally. Love and Shitstorm is best SYL

I'd say the 'wall of sound' is better here and that it is heavier than alien, also songs come from a darker and more emotional place I feel

Oh yeah you can definitely feel the desperation of his situation at the time on City I agree with that. It's rawer and more emotional where I think Alien is a bit more polished and precise.



At least we're all agreed both are incredible albums.

Yeah in the mid section of detox especially Dev really bares his soul, that part is really moving (weird to say given how heavy it is). I prefer city by quite a way but am getting more into alien; imperial, shitstorm and love are amazing tracks. Alien is still an incredible album but city would be in like my top 10 ever easily

Yeah I can respect that man.

I'm so glad Devin found happiness in life nowadays but I do miss that raw energy and honesty of his old music. We need someone to pick up the torch!

He's still writing great stuff, from what he's said his new album sounds like it's going to be great!



If you haven't heard of him, there is a guy called David Maxim Micic that writes in a very similar style to Devin (although much more like his solo stuff than SYL). You should check out his albums Bilo 3 and ECO.



Or if you want a modern thing similar to SYL there is Arsafes, listen to Rattray
