To Someone not heard Syl before this would be a very good song but i don't know all their stuff sounds familiar now.

It's pretty good. The multi-tracked vocals are a bit cheesy though. They should be more raw and brutal, a la Discharge.

God not Strapping Young Lad again,
Hog haven't you got over your love affair with him yet?

I see Devin's on the cover of Zero Tolerance this month by the way.

Link for Dev lovers everywhere who dont want to spent too much money on there habit :-)

doubt it, he has been ill for years and in that time hes written Infinity, Terria, Physcist, Accelerated Evolution and Alien (the new one). Devin actually hasnt written much music unmedicated. The last SYL album was boring because Dev didnt really write much of it, its the first and only time he has done that. The vast majority of the people on his forum reckon that the new album is by far the by SYL.

Which in the majority of Devin fans are his best stuff. You must only dig Ocean Machine and maybe City then? Which since then his career has gone from strength to strength. His medication has changed him from spending a year on the couch doing nothing but almost losing his wife, band and friends to getting back to normal. I dont see how this corresponds to song writing ability. When he was truly ill, he wrote Infinity, which I assume you dont like, fair enough. You heard the new album Martybaby?

i think city is a fantastic album...one of the best, as is ocean machine. infinity is pretty good and i thought physicist was average. i thought the first syl album had some fantastic parts.

i just think his sound has dipped. city has such a big sound, everything post infinity just sounds so cheap. production wise, it just sounds like minimal effort has gone in.

and the songs dont really hold up either.

syl were my favourite band for a long time, i really thought dev could do no wrong.

the last syl album, the devin townsend band album were just dire, boring, mediocre!

the new album is a slight improvement, but doesnt get me hard in the way city does.

its just dissapointing for something that looked really promising, a band that could make an impact to just become another boring metal band is really sad.

I think the last SYL album was awful too but thats because Dev let the rest of the band write. Do you think that Terria was crap? My fave album that is man!
