Yeah congrats on finding the best album ever, drop it a 5! Sounds like you may like his older stuff a lot more than the stuff he's been making recently, have you jammed Terria?

Album Rating: 4.5

While I can understand why so many like Addicted, it doesn't do a whole lot for me aside from a few songs. Most Townsend albums have a few great songs, a handful of good, a few okay and some filler. I also don't find Terria to be even remotely comparable to Biomech. I'd rather listen to Infinity over Terria, or even Deconstructed.

Terria is an incredibly layered record that takes a lot of listens to get into, but it's well worth it. I could only actually properly separate the ridiculously dense sound and actually make sense of what was going on after about 5 listens. But if you love this album I reckon you would definitely like Terria eventually too

It's only today that I noticed there might be some influence from The Cure in this album. IDK if I'm the only one that notices it though.

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Really? I've never considered that. What element of the album do you think is influenced by them?

Album Rating: 5.0

Check Infinity!

I dunno I think some of the more ambient driven moments of the album carry a similar atmosphere to a few Cure tracks. I also feel like parts of The Death of Music have similar vocal melodies to the chorus of Burn.

Yes now that you mention it I do notice similarities... they both sing very similarly and there is echo on the vocals, plus the chords seem to be similar. But that one song is pretty unique in Devs catalogue and most of the other songs in this album I couldn't picture Robert Smith singing at all

Hah, I was actually thinking of The Cure quite a bit too while listening to this the first few times. The entire album is permeated by the dark atmosphere that you'd hear on some of their albums.

Album Rating: 5.0

best of his albums by far. the atmosphere is pre much post-metal at times, in the best way possible

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

This atmosphere really is like nothing I've ever heard. Post-metal tends to be overbearing and offensive to the ears, whereas this manages to create such a tranquil vibe despite the guitars being drenched in reverb and the production being so huge. Really is such an incredible and unique experience

isis is better but yeah

Nah not even close. If Dev sang on their albums maybe. But they didn't nail the ocean vibe nearly as well as Dev and they're monotonous as hell

Album Rating: 5.0

post-metal isn't about the ocean vibe

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

I was referring to Oceanic

Album Rating: 5.0

panopticon's better



even then that's a specious argument at best, just because the record is named oceanic and it doesn't sound like ocean doesn't mean it's bad

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Panopticons decent.



I didn't say that's what made it bad, I just think they could've played on that theme better

Album Rating: 4.5

While we're getting sidetracked and talking about albums that have an "ocean" vibe going on, can't really get more ocean than The Ocean's Pelegial. I'm not mentioning them simply because of the obvious name reason either.
