A Moon Shaped Pool is Radiohead's best album since OK Computer.

I'll check it out but In Rainbows didn't do it for me and I didn't bother with King Of Limbs as I heard even Radiohead fans didn't like it.

Ziltoid The Omniscient is my favourite Devin Townsend album.

Z2 was poor by comparison imo.

I think Devin has a big potential to split opinion more than most as his music is so diverse. I don't hate any of his albums but some are just perfect for me whilst others are..........less so.

As I mentioned in the Dev thread I think I prefer the Live at The Royal Albert Hall version of Z2 to the studio. It's so good. I love ZTO but I just love most of Dev's albums more.

But anyone who DOESN'T like Dev, they are being too controversial!!

I like HIM, on principle, because I like his approach, his flexibility, and his talent, but honestly there is very little of his music that I have heard that makes me say "Whoa, I want to hear this again and again!".

I liked the more serious side of Devin back when he made really great albums like Ocean Machine and Terria, but after albums like Ziltoid and Deconstruction, whenever I think of Devy I think of fart sounds, quirky "haha this is so funny" lyrics and almost making a joke parody of how silly prog metal can be.

True, there should be a distinction between Dev using humor as a means of getting across an actually interesting message of self reflection and introspection, vs. humor for sake of being silly. I would lump both Ziltoid and Deconstruction (mostly just the song and TMM) in the former, and Z2 in the latter.

A Moon Shaped Pool is definitely better than the albums pre-Kid A but doesn't quite live up to the Kid A/Amnesiac/In Rainbows level, but it's close.

It's not as good as Amnesiac ?

I like Dev because he pokes fun at all the bullshit that surrounds us in every aspect of modern life.

When he makes "humorous" songs/albums I always take it more as a social commentary than trying to be funny. I see it as all part of his journey breaking free of the restrictions of being perceived as "metal" in his Strapping days.

I love him for that.

I really don't like Illumination Theory.

But I like it a lot more than A Change Of Seasons.

Octavarium is easily the best though, yeah.

I'd actually put The Count Of Tuscany above both I.T & A.C.O.S

Yep, I'm not a huge fan of ACoS. I really like TCoT but I'd rank it lower than IT, but not by much.

I think I.T. is too disjointed - there's too many riffs in too short a time.

Maybe but the high points in that song just do it for me big time.

A Change of Seasons used to be my favorite DT song. Not it's not, and it is tied with Octavarium for the best epic. I like them both much more than IT.

A CHANGE OF SEASONS:

The "Please Don't Go" original demo is much better musically/composition-wise (including LaBrie's screeching highest of high falsettos) than the re-arranged/re-recorded version that came out on the 1995 EP.

Floor tom roll intro into not quite Six Degrees main theme. Then a succession of guitar pull off - hammer on riffs in that sacrificed sons vein.

I guess at this point this is probably a controversial opinion:

Haken's Affinity is not in my top 15 albums of the year anymore.
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

Not sure how controversial this is, but I consider Death Magnetic to be Metallica's 2nd worst album.

And after watching the really entertaining 2 hour making of docu, where it's clear that just about every aspect of every song was decided by committee, it helped solidify my opinion that it's soulless and completely uninspired.
