Devin Townsend’s solo material ranges from sonic landscapes to delicate noodlings to brutal bashings, and all are top-notch, cuz the guy is borderline genius.
A fine line between reverence, cuz the shit mattered, and chuckling cuz it was kinda silly. Ya gotta respect it, but you have to acknowledge the cheese.
Devin’s genius is in his humor, his ability to meld lush “pop” melodies and production with brutal, pounding metal like absolutely no one else. A true pioneer.
Devin Townsend (re)releases his hilarious story of a fictitious Cookie-Monster-voiced death metal band and their realization that the real money is in punk.
