Devin Townsend

Another week of T bands, and this post kinda ties into the SYL post from a few weeks back. I had mentioned the eclectic work of Devin Townsend. From his work with Steve Vai, to SYL, to his solo albums, Devin tends to run the creativity line through each album he releases. This one is no exception. Released in 2007 'Ziltoid The Omniscient' is a concept record about a little green puppet man from space who travels to Earth in search of Earth's ultimate cup of coffee. You'd be hard pressed to find a more bizarre concept record.  Love it or loathe it, this is funny and great all in one. Who else is gonna make a puppet and base a record around it. Wait two records, as we are told the follow up is in the works. As brutal musically as it is funny and silly, this remains as one of my favorite records from Devin. The song 'Hyperdrive' was actually re recorded for the 'Addicted'  record. Overall this is just a silly album to play. Bonus CD is included here with three extra tracks. Also including a "preview" link now just as a small insight to what I'm posting.
