^ ^ ^ ^ Hey there fellow Regina Devin Townsend fan who's pumped for Retinal Circus!

Just bought a ticket to the online stream.. so excited!! It'd be nice to see it in blu-ray quality the first time instead of stream quality, but on the other hand being able to experience it as it happens probably something I'll never forget.

I haven't been able to get :40 - 1:55 from From Sleep Awake out of my head all day

SO GOOD

I also didn't think super super highly of Sky Blue first time I went through, but drat has it grown on me, also so good

I like Devin Townsend a lot

Joining in on the love for the no dialogue version of Dark Matters. Have a feeling this is going to be my default way to listen to the album, so good.

The more I listen to Sky Blue the more I fall in love with it. Ranks up there as top level Devin

Prior to releasing Synchestra, Dev referred to it as an album full of 'blisteringly heavy lullabies' and I totally get that feeling on this album too with many of the songs.

Reposting my hope for a Devin album without him singing. His voice owns his real skill is hosting the best performances of other vocalists' careers.

So basically Ayreon made by Devin Townsend

I didn't know this is something I wanted until now!

Wow we just hit the 4 year anniversary of the thread a few days ago. Happy 4th Devin thread!

We've been through Epicloud, Casualties of Cool, Dark Matters, Sky Blue, and some amazing live albums.

Failure is really really REALLY good the more I digest it.

1:35ish to 2:15ish is exactly the type of stuff I was hoping this album would deliver on.

Can't WAIT.

Add me to the 'really liked it' camp so far. I love all the orchestral parts that just randomly show up, like in Truth

Truth is really really really good

The album has leaked, I really like it.

Higher is really god drat heavy.

God drat is it ever, gently caress

The more I listen to Transcendence the more I am loving it. The only song at this point that really hasn't grabbed me is Stars, it's good but just kinda there.

Offer Your Light is so loving good.

BUT

:57 in Truth is different slightly and adds an extra downbeat into it. Kinda ruins that part IMO. Rest of the song owns though.

You've always had good music opinions. (mostly)

stfu you're wrong

Amazing how an opinion can turn the corner in a week. I now LOVE :57 in Truth.

In fact the whole album is AMAZING and paid off every hype I had for it in dividends.

3:22 in Stormbending, 6:00 in Secret Sciences, 7:56 in Higher, 3:01 in From the Heart are the kind of moments I go crazy for
