Z²

If I were you I wouldn't hold back one little bit in order to explore and listen to this wonderful, detailed and creative piece of music that Mr. Devin Townsend has so spectacularly laid out here. It has become very clearly to me that Devin Townsend really uses his creative music guises to represent and showcase his unbelievably layered personality...or personalities I should say through his music. Townsend simply doesn't hold back on the emotional front. Certainly, the kind of music Devin has created with the Ziltoid series can deliver goose bumps and flat-out make you laugh all at once! That is what is so special and unique about his music, especially with the Ziltoid creation.

Z2 is a treasure and certainly one of the very best albums to come out in 2014. Expect that true Heavy-Devy loud sound where it seems everything on the sound console is set on "high". Not a big fan of that sound recording approach, but somehow for this particular record(s) "sky blue" and of course "Dark Matters" it works oddly enough.

Top honors for Z2. It simply just has that "ludicrous speed" to it that chugs in your brain for hours. You'll find yourself humming this album even in the most weirdest of places.

5/5
