Devy time baby.

Holy cow looks like a long album

Love Devin but he's def been in a decline the last decade (expected, he is getting on). Hyping this as something hes been working on for 10 years does set some expectations. was so-so on the single, def feels likes intended to be heard in the flow of the album. some of the orchestral moments have me worried about the goof level, but the heavier bits were good

You aren’t wrong. Too much goofy music

I only know Mr. Townsend from that one INCREDIBLE live performance of "deadhead". This song was not at all what I was expecting lol.

Really weird choice for a single but I'm always excited for anything this guy does even if it's mid lol

This will be amazing.

idk if I'm unimpressed by the music or if I'm just not into prog metal anymore. I watched the live performance and had mixed feelings, like my 20 year old self who was hyped for Deconstruction would probably dig this.

He's the musical equivalent of James Cameron to me and this is his Avatar sequels. Nobody can do it like him but he's also locked away in his own world.

Haven't been much into Devins music since Empath. Lightwork was ok, Powernerd was pretty lackluster and Puzzle/Dnuggles was a joke. I'll definitely still give this a listen, but my expectations are pretty low.

I’m incredibly excited for this! I absolutely loved the performance he did in the Netherlands.

Didn't he also release a Patreon exclusive album a few months ago?

wow that was, uh, one of the worst things ive ever heard

Yeah it's a weird choice for a single. I re-listened the live concerts quite a couple of times and it gets better with each listen. I think you can compare it most with Empath, though this has probably more cohesion and might be better?

Ive been on a Devin decline as well since basically empath. The dudes amazing but nothing he really does these days really captures and holds my interest. Devins basically finished all his main quests and is now doing whatever he wants in his own little world. He certainly has earned that but boy his new material is exhausting as is a 24 track monster new album

i need city vol 2

It sounds like he took all the weird circus-y parts of BTBAM but with none of the fun parts

I've been obsessed with Devin since I was in high school, which was over 20 years ago now but holy shit this was boring. Why the hell did he release an intro track as a single?
