Shankel Magnus posted:Thanks for the replies! From what I've heard I may check out Ocean Machine. Also I haven't heard anyone mention Synchestra. What is the consensus on that album? I think it competes with Terria as my favorite Dev album. I just love the flow and atmosphere throughout. Allen Wren posted:I think everyone's covered all the highlights at this point, but I've got to cover for the record that's probably the only one not mentioned (aside from weird stuff like Hummer or Devlab): Accelerated Evolution. Sure it's "the pop record", but it's the debut of RVP, it's got some of the best flat-out songs he's ever done (Storm Storm Storm STORM loving CHRIST), it's basically, along with Biomech and Terria, the third point in the line that ends at Epicloud. I think Accelerated Evolution probably has some of the best overall Dev songwriting. It's just missing a bit of the atmosphere and depth of production that I tend to like in his work. So, sometimes it gets pushed down a bit further in his works than it really should be. I tend to think AE is the best starting point album for him, though.

Digging the album, but I do think it kind of lacks its own identity within Townsend's entire discography. It's a pretty solid album overall, so don't let that critique fool you. It just sounds like more Devin Townsend, that's all. There's no wrench thrown into it like with something like Ziltoid or Ki or Ghost or Epicloud, etc. I also think starting the whole thing off with an previously used iconic album opener like Truth really kind of hurts it in that regard.
