Devin Townsend v. Do You Feel Like A Bit Of Fun?

[Nel]

Same here, man. 

[Dr. DTVT]

I just heard "Universal Flame" on the new Z² album, which comes from the DTP disc (as apposed to the Ziltoid disc).  It's good to have sources 

[TioJorge]

I GENUINELY HATE YOUR EXISTENCE. 

FFFFFFFFFF- That's awesome!

[Dr. DTVT]

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

What did you think of the song? (if you're allowed to say)

[Dr. DTVT]

Very damn good.  I'm working on getting the whole album to review.

[PROGdrummer]

I really hope Dark Matters and Sky Blue get their own cover art.

I'm sure even if there arent official artworks for each disc seperately when you rip them or even on iTunes, there will probably be some fanmade or miscellanoes artwork on the internet that you can use.
I found cool alternate Epicloud art on Google images that i used for Epiclouder and it looks great.

[TioJorge]

No doubt, I'm betting there will be. Even if, as Prog said, there's no actual difference in the actual covers, there's surely going to be tons of artwork and one could be used as a cover (much like how people took Epiclouder's "Devy suit of light" artwork and used that as a cover. But yeah, I hope there's something official. Either way, I'm betting we'll have some awesome artwork to use.

  yep, thats the one

That's what I used too.
Though I couldn't find a large version of it, so I had to photoshop it onto the original cover.

Wait... That is not the original artwork?

[TioJorge]

I mean, it's original official artwork. But it's not the cover. That was what I meant by even if we don't have a different cover for each disc, we'll more than likely be able to easily fashion one out of the artwork that'll no doubt be rampant throughout any special editions, booklets, etc.

[Scard]

I have a friend who flew to Vancouver to build sets for Ziltoid. Let me tell ya, they're awesome looking!

[TioJorge]

YOU MOTHERFUCKERS AND YOUR CONNECTIONS, GOD DAMN IT!

  AAAAAGRRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!

For some reason I thought devy's light saber suit was the original album cover

it should have been!

to be fair, the actual cover does look awesome too — even as the back window graphic on my friend's car!

[TioJorge]

HEY NOW
THROUGH ANGER
WE HUNGER
FOR COCK

[PROGdrummer]

HEY NOW
THROUGH ANGER
WE HUNGER
FOR COCK

Is that the lyric?

[Onno]

Not quite, it should be 'FOR GOD', but I'm sure Tio's version was intentional

SHOWER THE WORLD WHERE IT'S TRYING TO PEE

[PROGdrummer]

 

Mi'lady bought me the Contain Us boxset for my birthday a few days ago. I've been listening to the "Stuff That Was Almost Stuff" bonus cd. It's awesome. I'd already had Ho Krll and Radial Highway from the iTunes versions of Ghost and Decon, and listened to 'Watch You' a ton on youtube. The other songs are just great. 'Juno' in particular has been stuck in my head all week  .

Has anyone not heard these tracks yet?

I've heard them a few times, not nearly enough though, I suppose 

[TioJorge]

  Pee. Bwahaha. Indeedy, my lyric post was intentional. That would be awesome if it were the lyrics though, about as equally appropriate as hungering for god for some people. Beautiful line.

Contain Us is fucking awesome. I hadn't heard anything at all from the discs (unreleased songs-wise) and Ho Krll, Watch You, and Synchronicity Freaks blew my mind.  Still some of my favorite tracks. For as much as I love Decon, the ending of Watch You is so damn groovy without having as much going on in the music as the beginning of Praise The Lowered. I like the end result of PTL, but Watch You's version is so much more fitting for the song, especially with the female vocals; they're hauntingly sexy.

Surely you mean Stand, right? Not Praise the Lowered?

[TioJorge]

Ahhh yes, thanks, Stand. 

Love the song but damn if it isn't too brutal for me sometimes, as are a few parts of Decon. Sometimes I want something that's still hardcore, but not so "I'M GONNA RAPE YOU AND YOU'LL LIKE IT" as Decon is.

[Nel]

I love how the songs on the bonus disc of Contain Us flow into each other. It's like its own standalone DTP album that way. Synchronicity Freaks and Watch You are probably my favorite tracks there. And I squeed like a giddy fanboy when the when the end of Watch You reprised the "Some may sever..." part of Stand. Just awesome.

Aaaand after listening to it over and over, I think Quietus is my favorite off of Epicloud(er).

[Scorpion]

I is very excited.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

posting from class because so excited

[Buddyhunter1]

Didn't Devin say that the Ziltoid disc was the first one? Maybe it got changed or they got mixed up in the promo.

Also I thought Before We Die was going to be a simple, relatively short power ballad, but apparently it's the longest song on the whole album.

[PolarizeMe]

I am so ready for Z2! 

Can't wait to hear how the Universal Choir sounds...partially because I took part in it!
