I got Terria by Devin Townsend, although I couldn't really get into it What didn't you like about it? For some people, it can be easy to pick the wrong DT album to start with.I also like how DT in this case does not apply to Dream Theater.

I was gonna say DT, but I thought it'd sound like Dream Theater

I just didn't find anything overall addictive or really appealing about it... It was interesting and creative, but not something I'd pick up over and over.

Hmmmmmm...

Ocean Machine or Synchestra might be better choices for you then. Ocean Machine is more atmospheric metal with 2 good (not great though IMO) epics whereas Synchestra is pretty light-hearted, not quite as heavy, and a mish-mash of everything he did up to the point. Has a bit of a tribal feel too from time to time.

My Devy list goes something like...

1. Ziltoid the Omniscient
2. Terria
2. Ki
4. Ocean Machine: Biomech
5. Synchestra
6. Accelerated Evolution
7. Infinity
8. Physicist
9. Devlab (not really bad or good, since it's ambience/noise and kind of "out there")

Physicist and Devlab are the only two I would give anything less than 3 stars to. And the top 3 are all god tier for me. Terria probably took the longest to grow for me out of those 3 though.

The weird thing is, the track I enjoyed the most on The Human Equation was the Devin Townsend one.  Weird.

The music video for that is weeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiird, but yeah, it's pretty much just a straightforward metal/hard rock/poppish song. Nothing too fantastic.

It is.

'cause when I heard it again for the second time only (about 3 years after I'd heard the first time).  I remembered it.

Not good.

I hate remembering tunes so quickly!

I need more Acoustic Ladyland. And some Led Bib. 

Also noticed yesterday that Led Bib was added to PA.

Yes you do and yes they were. I ordered Led Bib's debut and mini live album today. They're becoming one of my favorite bands. (along with AL)

You really can go wrong with any one of AL's albums. I'd probably go with Last Chance Disco...Skinny Grin  is a good choice too though. Their first album isn't quite the same as their other stuff in that it's all acoustic, but it's still very good in its own right.

As for Led Bib I'd start with their most recent album and work my way backward. It's the better of the 2 albums  I've heard so far.
