DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT: DECONSTRUCTION

EDIT To be honest, I acquired this album back soon after it was released, had one listen and then moved to other, better prospects for my tastes. It wasn't until now when I saw one review here on PA and quite high rating of the album (but note that all previous reviewers are either former or current Metal team members, or majority of their reviews are from Metal department.

Don't take me bad, each of these guys are capacities on Metal, knowing far more than I do. But I was afraid that it would be one side point of view, fan's view.

Knowing few Devin albums and being quite fond of what I know, I've decided to make a new, proper listen.

So I had a new listen to remember my experience from previous session and hear for myself how this album stands up.

Damn, it's good old Devin, as he was on Ziltoid (which I love), doing the same thing with new concept and few new musical tricks (but not so much). Craziness, mostly in lyrics, but when in conjuration with the music, it gets wholy new meaning. Being concept album again, we get Devin's distinct repeatitevness of ... the same sound over and over again, the same musical theme, only graduating or breaking into even more weirdness.

So 4(-), I am satisfied. Certainly more than with the Ghost.
