Devin Townsend Project -
Addicted!
I managed to score a leaked copy of the 2nd album of a 4 album project. It has Devin Townsend's name on it so I'm pretty much predisposed to liking it because of my fanboydom for Devin. This has a far more upbeat and danceable feel to it than all of Devin's other solo works. This album also seems much simpler, no real deep meaning to any of the songs, but rather a "have a good time" feeling to them. This album will definitely assuage some of the feelings fans had after hearing
Ki because it's a lot harder in style. I just listened to a 30 minute interview with him explaining the four albums in this series and it makes
Ki make a lot more sense, as well as the demise of
Strapping Young Lad. After hearing about the other two albums in the series I have to say I'm incredibly excited for the next one,
Deconstruction because it's apparently suppose to be just as chaotic as
Strapping Young Lad but retaining the melodic nature that makes Devin's solo work so amazing.
