The Devin Townsend Binge (1/4) - The Early Era (5/7)

So after hearing what is my favourite album in the Devin Townsend binge we move onto the next album, another album that's considered essential amongst Devin Townsend enthusiasts entitled 'Infinity'. Now the last few albums in the binge have each had a lot of drastic changes sonically, for better or for worse but one thing remained distinct to Devin Townsend for 3 out of 4 of them, that being the heavy wall of sound inspired production which ... read more

I don't know how to feel about this honestly. It was not nearly as good or compelling as ocean machine biomech. I do appreciate the artistry on display here but it borders on excess sometimes.
