I thought I read something about new versions of Life and Pixillate. Are they on Epicloud or the recent live album?

They're on the Encores disc of the new live album.

I didn't like the first half of the album at all but once Kingdom kicks in, it gets really, really good.

I'm listening right now and I just finished Kingdom a few minutes ago. I think I agree.

E: Is Z² next?

I'm kicking myself for not going to see Devin when he opened for Children of Bodom in Atlanta last year. I figured he'd be back around but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Saw Devin Townsend tonight in Atlanta. 45 minutes just isn't enough! I hope he does a tour of his own soon, perhaps after Z2.

Doing jazz hands during Lucky Animals was hilarious. Grace was amazing. Everything was amazing. The only disappointment was no Kingdom, but it's minor compared to my enjoyment of the show.

Devin Townsend just announced a SYL complete collection on clear vinyl on Facebook. The run is limited to 150 copies. The post does imply that there will be another version, probably less limited and CDs instead.

Preorders start on April 17th and it will be $225.

I don't want guitar and flute music, I want Z2 dammit. More than a year :(

Well, we can't get all the good music this year. I was hoping for Causalities sooner than spring, though.

I think I need to go to the Atlanta show. I live in Tampa, and I have never been outside of the state of Florida before.

If you don't know them, Animals as Leaders are loving excellent.

Atlanta metal heads love Devin so I definitely recommend the Atlanta show if you want a good crowd.

Also, my condolences on having never left Florida.

Didn't Devin take a pretty long hiatus after Ziltoid? I imagine the same thing will happen this time as well.

According to Devin's twitter he remastered the album after sending the album to be press review copies, but the final release will be the remaster, so we needn't worry.

However, if you're someone who listens to album leaks, there's a good chance you'd get the worse version.

Metalsucks just announced Z2 is coming out October 28th, more info about the album and other projects at the link. The turnaround on the album seems ridiculously quick, has this sort of thing happened before?

http://www.metalsucks.net/2014/09/02/devin-townsends-ziltoid-2-release-details-revealed/

I remember him putting out a teaser video before Casualties with some demoes that included stuff for Z2 so I'm sure he's had at least some material floating around for a while now.

Are you saying there's a leak. I will try and hold out for when I know I have the final master, but...maybe just one song.

I checked when he posted that and it hasn't leaked.

Is Deconstruction a concept album ? I watched a guitar clinic where he said that it's an over the top complex album that makes fun of ovr the top complex albums (Like that new dreamtheater album.) He also said that it's about a plague that is spread by farts.

Ok, so the title song has lots of toilet harmonics, but I'm failing to see where Planet of the Apes fits in with Deconstruction, etc.

Concept album is a pretty loosely defined term, I'd say Deconstruction(and honestly most of Devin's work) fits the bill.

Aw, gently caress, I didn't realize he's sharing the headline again? This happened on the last tour, when I saw him in St. Pete, I left early because Gojira was the headline. I love Animals As Leaders (already saw them one with Meshuggah), but I really want that Devin headline.

Just found this link, it notes each date that DTP headlines. Which includes Atlanta. Booyah! Driving up from Tampa, took Monday and Tuesday off, booked hotel for Monday night, let's do this poo poo.

I think last time he was just straight up opening for Gojira.

Glad that Atlanta is gonna have him as the headliner, can't loving wait.

e: i had to cheat and look at the setlist and holy poo poo it looks so good

Agreed. I can't remember where I saw the quote but I think Devin is going to take hiatus after this. At the ATL show he said straight up he's beat from playing for so long consistently.

Based on his twitter I fully expect a hiatus of some sort. Dude has worn himself out with all the albums and touring he's done the past few years.

Yep, that was it - I had never heard death of music before, it was weird to see Devin ditch the guitar and do straight up singing. His vocals were absolutely amazing for that, he was giving it his all and nailing it.

Death of Music is one of my favorite Devin songs. Super jealous of y'all that got to see it live.
