Metal's "mad scientist" has released two albums this year. Your favourite album? |

Maybe you would wait to write Deconstruction (because of the song Stand
 and not only). But Ziltoid is the one. So, I voted Ziltoid. Honestly, this album is very serious. Even if it has some ridiculousness. |

I haven't heard all of his albums so I'll abstain from voting, but my favorite (that I've heard) is probably Ziltoid.

All I have is Deconstruction, and it sure is weird. I'll probably get Ziltoid sooner or later but since I've only heard one album I definitely won't vote.

I haven't heard all of his album, but I tend to lean towards his lighter solo albums, and stick with SYL when I want Hevy Devy.

I generally think of his DTP albums as a separate entity whatever. (where is Ki and Infinity btw, those are important albums for Devy!)
I think I'll vote Addicted. I haven't listened to Biomech and I don't have Terria  |

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

I�m much more of a SYL fan. I first learned about Devin when he collaborated with Steve Vai and when the first SYL album came out I gave it some spins but it never did much for me. Much later I gave City and S.Y.L. a chance and bam I was sold. I was a major fan by the time Alien was released and I still think SYL are one of the most original sounding extreme metal acts out there.
Devin�s "solo" work has been much harder for me to get into. I�m trying hard though

I went for Ocean Machine(Biomech). Devin's one of my favorite artists, and Biomech was the first release I heard from him solo, also the song "life" is where I got my user name.

Devin Townsend being my favorite band/solo project it's hard for me to choose. But I would have to probably give it to Ziltoid with Deconstruction and Terria following a very close second.

......is there a reason "Ki" is not listed here?  That album is pure bliss, was from the first listen and I love it more now. From these: Ziltoid is my favorite, but man...Terria, Ocean Machine, Ghost, Synchestra Devy is just the man Edited by The Angry Scotsman - 16 Jul 2011 at 2:03am |

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

I suppose mine would be Terria, followed very closely by Ziltoid, and after that Deconstruction.
