Is it wrong that I don't like SYL? SYL is the main reason it took me forever to get into Devin's solo stuff, because I was scared it would resemble SYL too much, and I didn't want to waste my time with something I knew I didn't like.

The New Black in particular. I used to have that album, and I pretty much hated it. Thank God his solo stuff is better.

SYL is definitely not for everyone. Well I mean, it's only for those who like good music and don't fail

Gadough · « **Reply #176 on:** February 25, 2011, 02:50:09 PM »

That would certainly explain it.

I always thought The New Black was the most accessible of the SYL albums, mostly because its got a lot of tongue-in-cheek stuff compared to the albums after HAARHT.

The New Black is definitely the most accessible.

Oh, forgot SYL.

Good call, although the only one I've listened to much is The New Black, the others I heard I just couldn't really get into. Maybe I'll give them another try sometime.

The New Black - Far Beyond Metal. Or maybe You Suck

The lack of love for Wrong Side is very disturbing. Definately my fave SYL track

No. I don't listen to SYL at all.

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #184 on:** February 25, 2011, 07:28:10 PM »

I've only listened to Alien, but I haven't had any desire to delve any further into SYL. Maybe someday I'll give it another spin.

From what I've heard of DT's stuff:

Terria - "Earth Day"
Accelerated Evolution - "Storm"/"Deadhead"
Synchestra - "Gaia"/"Notes From Africa"
Ki - "Disruptr"
Addicted - "Awake!"

Bombardana · « **Reply #185 on:** February 26, 2011, 02:56:12 PM »

Regulator, Life Is All Dynamics, Om, Kingdom, Earth Day, Deadhead, Triumph, By Your Command, Disruptr, Supercrush!
S.Y.L., All Hail The New Flesh, Relentless, Shitstorm, Far Beyond Metal

fucking hell, what a collection of in-cred-i-ble songs

lateralus88 · « **Reply #186 on:** February 26, 2011, 08:16:54 PM »

I've come to a self realization just now. Devin Townsend is one of the few musicians so far to achieve that level "holy dick tickling hairy knuckles this music is good" with me personally, that no matter how many times I listen to an album of his or a single song I just can't seem to get tired of it. It's like...ever listen is my first listen ever.

GOD DAMN IT WHY DO I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH AND WHY COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A FAN MUCH LONGER THAN I HAVE. SERIOUSLY MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN 10x MORE AWESOME IF I HAD LISTENED TO DEVY IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Devy binge all night tonight.

I'm sorry, but it had to happen. I may have exploded into bits of coffee and testicle jokes if I hadn't.

Artwork, booklets, pressings, proper advertising, distribution deals, etc.

That's not uncommon for a band to do.

73109 · « **Reply #197 on:** February 27, 2011, 06:21:43 PM »

Makes sense. Just wondering.

glaurung · « **Reply #198 on:** February 27, 2011, 06:26:37 PM »

I want this box set so bad. I really do hope it's all four albums and not just the two new ones.

No no, the two new albums will come out seperately from the box set, which will come later. So you can buy each album seperately, or all four once the set comes out. I'm guessing if the 2 albums comes out around June or something, the box set might come out around August.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #200 on:** February 27, 2011, 06:34:02 PM »

I think he should shoot for the end of May, and hit the 2 year anniversary of Ki.

I'm sure he could.

73109 · « **Reply #202 on:** February 27, 2011, 06:52:06 PM »

I think I will download the 2 new albums and get the box set when it comes out.

glaurung · « **Reply #203 on:** February 27, 2011, 06:59:16 PM »

Probably what I'll be doing too.

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #204 on:** February 27, 2011, 07:36:24 PM »

indeed, the box set is going to have way too many goodies to make buying the albums as they come out worthwhile.

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #205 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:04:45 PM »

Doesn't really help those of us that already bought Ki and Addicted...

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #206 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:12:50 PM »

That box set will be mine. I will make sweet passionate love to it daily.

Yup. I'm in the same boat. I dunno whether to buy Decon and Ghost, or the box set and be stuck with two copies of an album...

glaurung · « **Reply #208 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:50:50 PM »

Devy has said the box set is going to come with some other stuff, so it might be worth it.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #209 on:** February 28, 2011, 05:14:53 AM »

I think any fanboy would be willing to justify it (even though Century Media's getting most of it).
