Sounds like a club thread I should read. But I can't find it.

That's surprising, I guess there aren't many Devin Townsend fans here. That's one of his most well-loved albums from what I've seen.

The Great Milenko is ICP's most well-loved album too but that ain't saying much.

There are some. I'm not really into his music myself though. Not Strapping Young Lad either. But this song is pretty neat:

I really like some of his solo stuff, particularly Ziltoid. I'm more of a Strapping Young Lad fan though, and I also love the Front Line Assembly albums he played guitar on.

Speaking of ridiculous vocals that this album club pick apparently has:

Big X on that. It's a brilliant record. Not perfect, but brilliant.

Extended vocal techniques over dark, sparse, somewhat tribal instrumentation. Her voice is the focal point of the album and she carries it fairly well but not without fault (et pour le enfants could've been cut). Mord recommended this to me a while back and while I enjoyed it last time, I liked it a lot more on this go around. Very dynamic record that ranges from dizzying to beautiful to playful to overpowering. It's a great album y'all. Her use of the microphone on this is pretty interesting too. 8/10

Favourite tracks: La naissance, Jubilate du deuxième dimanche après l'épiphanie, La femme au désert
