I like this new album and I have been a fan since... forever? I also like quite much everything else from Devin, except for the ambient records. But hey, everyone has an opinion and stuff. Haters gonna hate etc ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Sounds like a rehashed, not-as-good Addicted overall.
There's no balance anymore between cheesy/wacky stuff and neurotic/vulnerable stuff. It's all wacky and cornbally.
I'm sorry, but this is not good. It's good in the sense that it's Devin and he makes good music that sounds good, but he sounds totally out of ideas even though he's recording 6 albums a year.

Can't believe people are praising the album so much. Either they are fanboys or afraid to say anything bad about Devin or they started listening to him with Ziltoid.
Really can't understand any longtime fans justifying this as being a good look for Devin creatively.
Pretty sick of Anneke too even though I have been a fan of the gathering for just as long as I've loved Devin.
Really glad that he's finally getting the popularity/money he deserves after toiling in obscurity for all those years, but this does nothing for me.

Your opinion
That's the ideaIt's all wacky and cornbally.
I think the context for this album went right over your head and thus you're listening with the wrong mindset.

"Yeah, but ...WHICH flavor of Devin?"
that was a stupid blanket statement, but I can't see this as a one-off thing when it sounds almost exactly like Addicted.
Ocean Machine is probably the ONE of his things I haven't listened to that I actually want to because it's really weird shit isn't it? I had Synchestra for a while and really only dug "Vampire" and "Vampolka" (they're practically the same track), and I can't remember anything off Terria beside "Earth Day." Accelerated Evolution has "Dead Head" on it which I also remember listening to. Never heard his Physicist/Devlab/The Hummer albums, the latter of which would either be an extreme hit or miss.
No one's disputing the fact that he can still play guitar, write songs and sing well, I'm saying that the new stuff he's putting out has a lot less substance than the earlier stuff and whereas I have deep emotional ties with his earlier work, I can't find anything here to connect with.
