Ki is brilliant, although it is all I have from Devy... maybe you guys can direct me to a good next step.

Accelerated Evolution. But Addicted before that.

So far, after 5 tracks, Addicted has a different feel to it than Ki. Addicted, as a whole, feels a bit more aggressive. Ki certainly had its moments of pure aggression, but it also had some incredible free-floating moments of serene blissfulness. I think I prefer the Ki feel a bit more, however that's not to say I don't enjoy Addicted. It's just... Ki felt a bit more diverse, with a wider range of emotional responses triggered. Obviously, I haven't heard enough to give fair judgment, and I'm sure Addicted will grow on me (as did Ki). The female vocalist also adds another interesting dynamic, haven't decided how I feel about it though.

Is the general consensus that Addicted is the superior album?

None of his other albums sound like Ki. None of his other albums sound like Addicted. None of his other albums sound like Deconstruction and none of his other albums sound like Ghost.

He generally though is a metal guy. The most important thing is to go into it open minded. If you expect anything specific, you'll be disappointed. If you just go in free and take in the genius, you'll blow the first bald Canadian you see.

Instead of saying "...you'll be disappointed", which it has now been changed to, he said "...you'll be disappointing". I didn't think about what would happen if he changed it though...the consequences were...fatal.

Get Synchestra.

Synchestra is great, and definitely better than Ziltoid or AE, but not sure it can stack up to Terria or any of the DTP records.  Definitely a must-have for any fan, regardless!!

The two DTB albums as a whole I find don't do as much for me... there's some songs I really like but the rest aren't interesting enough :/

Listen to Deconstruction,Ghost, Terria and Ocean Machine
If you feel that you are ready for stuff that are really hard to swallow and extremely heavy, listen to Alien.

Is the general consensus that Addicted is the superior album?
From what i know, most people would say that Terria or Ocean Machine are his best albums.

This.  Even though some of his albums work within the same kind of prog metal box (Terria, AE, Synchestra, and Ziltoid), they still have their own, very distinct, sound to them.

Really, the only albums Devin has done that have any major stylistic similarity are the SYL albums, and even those all have their own atmosphere and identity. His solo stuff is all over the place though. Even when he intentionally recycles riffs and ideas, they sound new and fresh.
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?
LOOK AT THIS AWESOME SHIT AHHHHHH

Listen lady, this isn't a matter of hogging covers or something. Either give me my fair share of Synchestra love or I'm taking you to court for full custody.
