Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name3.5 greatDevin Townsend Ziltoid the OmniscientBoth the detractors and the fans of this album have been far too melodramatic and unrestrained with their ratings. 1/5 ratings should be reserved for truly terrible music and 5/5 ratings for masterpieces. From the point of view of just being an entertaining album Ziltoid more than succeeds - when I just want some fun metal regardless of cheesiness then I often do just whip on Ziltoid. However, if you come in expecting something as inventive as most of Devy's albums, you are to be disappointed - it is no Infinity or Ocean Machine and most of the features that distinguish the album musically are lifted from previous solo albums. I would sooner recommend it to a Zimmer's Hole fan than a Devin Townsend fan, come in expecting cheesy fun rather than innovation and you won't be let down.
