I think I read somewhere (Devin's twitter?) that Deconstruction wasn't intended as a "funny" album despite all the fart noises/"wacky" lyrics/etc. I've yet to see anything properly explaining how it's all supposed to come together but pretty much everything he writes is personal in some way so I don't doubt him saying that.

The New Black is definitely SYL's most accessible record. In terms of sound it's way closer to DTB than the rest of their catalogue. Their self-titled was what pushed me into finding them interesting after a few years of already being way into Devin's other projects. Aftermath is crushing.

   Also if I ever get a chance to see DTP ever again I really hope they open with From Sleep Awake. Holy poo poo that'd be an experience.

I left the UK a few years ago and this + the By A Thread gigs + Retinal Circus are the only things about that decision I really regret

Hey thread what's your favourite dev lyric I can't decide between "all the time I needed your approval to be me" or "WE PRAISE SATAN, HE LIVES INSIDE OF OUR HEARTS" I don't give a poopy nugget that it wasn't him singing that second one e. "Motion personified alpha" is a nice sequence of words too

I'm more excited about finally hearing Into The Sun than anything else tbh, gonna get on this album as soon as I get home though (assuming it's just the single disc version that's out there??)

Now that I've had a chance to get to know Transcendence a bit more there are a bunch of things I think - Deconstruction is my favourite DTP joint and I reckon I like this album only a little less than that one - Stars took a while to click for me but it's become one of my favourite songs, and I can't think of anything else in Devin's catalogue that sounds at all similar to it - Failure really sounds like it could have been a Terria leftover - It's really interesting that both the opening and closing tracks on this are covers (if you consider Truth to be Devin covering himself) - Transdermal Celebration is really drat good and Ween is also good 21 Hoot Salute posted:You've always had good music opinions.

+ Echoing the sentiment that this album seems a bit all over the place. It's closer to having a specific sound/atmosphere than Epicloud and Sky Blue were but it still doesn't come close to the level of consistency he had with, like, Terria. I really really like Terria
