he's posting a new song every day mon-fri during all this and calling it the quarantine project:
I will be releasing all the Quarantine Project songs on an album when all this calms down... until then, I’ll just keep posting stuff Monday to Friday. I hope it helps.— Devin Townsend (@dvntownsend) March 27, 2020
i think theres 9 so far and its the usual mix of what you'd expect from him.

it's fuckin' insane how much Devy I've heard which is still less than 50% of his catalog.
this thread might finally inspire me to fill in the gaps
Empath was the best satanic pop album the Beach Boys never made

not sure why i never posted in this thread. was massively into SYL and Devin's solo stuff up until around the self titled SYL and then just fell off the bus completely, not really sure why other than attention shifting. been going through ALL my cds from A-Z and have re-realised how much I love City, Ocean Machine and Infinity. travelled up to his show at the Astoria 2/Mean Fiddler in around 2003 and it was incredibly, notably due to Gene Hoglan drumming for all three bands that night - Zimmers Hole / Strapping Young Lad / Devin Townsend Project. amazing night.
so yes, i guess i'll carry on listening through the discography...and hoping I don't suddenly realise he got cancelled at some time in the last 19 years?

not to my knowledge he hasn't been. feel free to live review albums in here!
― fentanyl young (Neanderthal), Thursday, 12 January 2023 21:41 (one year ago) link
also occurred to me he's basically the metal Todd Rundgren?
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Thursday, 12 January 2023 21:43 (one year ago) link
yeah he seems like good people.
thought this might be a bump for his new album lightwork, which im still trying to figure out my feelings on.
― im a beacon of light (Spottie), Thursday, 12 January 2023 21:45 (one year ago) link
rundgren comparison is good i think
I could also imagine a Devin/Andrew WK album that would be....very good indeed.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Thursday, 12 January 2023 21:47 (one year ago) link
anyone dive into litghtwork yet?

it didn't do much for me the one time i heard it! some bangers obv. bonus disc far more unhinged
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 January 2023 23:41 (one year ago) link
yeah disc 2 way more experimental. kinda hard not to think hes done better versions of each of these songs on past releases.
enjoyed dimensions, call of the void and equinox.
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Tuesday, 31 January 2023 23:50 (one year ago) link
i don't think i could hear all this dude's music if I did nothing but listen to it for a year.
his quality control is pretty good though.
how does it compare to Empath?
― I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE DIAPER GOT LOOSE (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 31 January 2023 23:52 (one year ago) link
it's considerably more mellow imo
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 January 2023 23:52 (one year ago) link
I like mellow Devy tbh , i'll have to give it a listen
― I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE DIAPER GOT LOOSE (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 31 January 2023 23:55 (one year ago) link
if i could like convince the guy to do a tour and perform Ocean Machine-Biomech in its entirety though i'd die happy
― I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE DIAPER GOT LOOSE (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 31 January 2023 23:56 (one year ago) link
opening track super nice imo
― J Edgar Noothgrush (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Wednesday, 1 February 2023 02:23 (one year ago) link
Yah it’s frontloaded

off the back of relistening to everything/listening to the ones i didnt get to, i've been listening to the podcasts he did during lockdown, which are basically a chronological and very in depth look at each album. So far just up to terria but it's probably some of the most honest and self exposing autobio work i've heard from a musician. well worth checking out. first one here:

yeah those pods are very good... long tho.

I like the whole of Lightwork! really a great listen

Haven't seen it myself, sort of took a Devin break for a few years, but I'm feeling the twitching. I'll have to check it out.(And the end of the Live at the Royal Albert Hall show, the Ocean Machine triptych finale as it were, is mind blowing. I've never seen him live but I need to.)

I saw him on the metal cruise in 2020 and he played a wiiiide range of material but he stunned us with "All Hail the New Flesh" and "Detox" from City.
