It�s either City or Alien, but besides the debut which I find a bit uneven, I�m quite the big fan of the rest. I�ll go with Alien which is just amazing. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I haven't heard The New Black in its entirety, but of the rest I'd probably say City. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

Either the self-titled or Alien for me. Haven't heard The New Black though. -------------

| Man, The New Black is vastly underrated here on MMA. It's an awesome album, the bridge between SYL and the solo works of Devin Townsend. |

City. By far. Easily. Undisputed. After the psychiatric treatment, Devin's work with SYL just wasn't as intense. City is ridiculously magnificent, catchy, chaotic and precise at the same time. Amazing vocal lines, amazing vocal performance. The later albums are great (I think I'm with Alien as well) but none reached the brilliance of City. City was...shockingly good.

Alien, but I could never really get into SYL nearly as much as I could with Devy's solo stuff. Alien is just about as good as something like Physicist (which yes, I realize are very similar) which is one of Devy's weakest. -------------

Interesting. I feel exactly the opposite. I love SYL but struggle to get into Devin�s solo stuff
