Listened to the new Devin Townsend a few times. Favorite tracks: Powernerd, Jainism, and Ruby Quaker.
Dude is definitely going through a rough patch in his life rn. He's drinking and smoking again. Rumor is his wife left him. Kids grew up and moved out. It's a very "I'm 50 and my life is in shambles" kind of album. I need to listen to the commentary version
The metal groups I participate in on fb and Reddit are buzzing about it. I’ve listened to it twice. It’s pretty remarkable. They go full bore into 70s style prog rock on parts of it. It’s sorta like they tossed Pink Floyd, Yes and Steely Dan in a stew with Mastodon, Opeth, Enslaved, Nile and Gorguts. They’re setting themselves apart from the death metal pack with it. I like their prior albums, but this is on a different level
