I put in a request to review this
album some time ago, weeks went by and I figured that no one at this
litle label up in Canuckland had time for my piss ant little web 'zine
down here...but sure enough a venture out to the mailbox today held an
early Christmas present in the form of a package covered with Canadian
stamps. And so here I have it to share with you, Devin Townsend's
latest mad creation, "Physicist".
This project features the same musicians we've come to know and..err..
fear in Strapping Young Lad, and of course they provide the same sonic
assult on your ears. The mood is different, some of the sounds are even
more strange, and it's slightly more..."mellow"? if that's possible. As
usual Devin ventures into territory that is bizzare and never boring. I
guess a better description would be that if this type of stuff were ever
played on a commercial rock station these days sandwiched inbetween the
crap that passes for hard rock and metal, most of the listeners would
swerve off into a tree while driving. This cd is a definate headtrip.
fav tracks:
"Jupiter"
"Planet Rain"
