"...is the only way to describe this wall o' sound that is at once incredibly heavy and yet melodic. Not the kind of 80's metal/classical/obvious melody that you probably thought of when I said that. This stuff sneaks up on you, taps you on the shoulder and plants a huge, jagged hook under your jawbone. The songs don't feel like constructions; they feel like they sprang to life as wholely realized expression. From almost the opening words, "All I need is this city and it's mine and I will get by..." I was captured. This CD is polished, professional, (musical),incredible. Devin Townsend is the Real Deal--a true composer, and one of the most, shall we say, committed vocalists I've heard. Drummer Gene Hoglan needs no introduction to afficianados, but the rest of you only need to know that his status is deservedly legendary. Running the gamut from epic sledgehammer to ludicrous speed and not for the faint of heart, this suprisingly thoughtful CD is essential for anyone who's not scared yet. Buy it, listen to it, let it wash over you. Devin Townsend music is my new addiction; wanna try some?"

"Strapping Young Lad is the best band ever. If you are a fan of extreme(not the band)music than this release is for you. Strapping Young Lad pushes heavy music as far as it will go and then some. Devin Townsend is truly a genius. $@ck all those other fake psuedointellectual type musicians. Strapping Young Lad is the real thing. If you ever wanted to experience a train wreck but were to afraid, pick up this disc, you'll love it. buycitybuycitybuycitybuycitybuycitybuycitybuycitybuycitybuycitybuycitybuycity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
