    The coupling of Devin and Anneke is one of the greatest musical partnerships in history.

    This album is THE reason that I've been a Devy fan ever since

      For me it was the live version. At first, I thought the album had a weird production to it because I was so used to the live version after 1.5 years before buying the album. Now I like it though.

      I heard Supercrush, Numbered and Hyperdrive, as well as Feather and Ki.... needless to say I've been a fan ever since

    To everyone reading this, it's going to get better. We'll rise above this.
    To Devin, thank you for helping keep my brain straight.

    Your music is one thing, but as a soul, you are on another level that I appreciate. Especially because you care about others and has nothing to do with your success in music. You offer so much more...and it shows to anyone who follows you on a regular basis.
    That's what makes you very unique and special. Thanks man!

    Will never forget when this album released. 11 years though, does not feel that long...At all!

    Supercrush is the reason I got into Hevy Devy and what a good thing that is. Life has been better because of that. I cannot thank him enough, not just for his music, but also for these words of wisdom.

    Probably the best album Devin has released in his entire career. Front to back every song is great.

      It was the other way around for me! I found The Gathering because of Anneke on Addicted! Immediately fell in love with the sound of her voice.

    @Yonada 4 роки тому +10

    These podcasts have been so great for getting through this period, Devin. You express all the anxieties we all have about it, but at the same time manage to bring some (actually quite a lot!) of hope into it in the end. Thank you so much.

    @DevinJuularValentine 3 роки тому +2

    Hey, if you do finish these podcasts - I for one would vote that you simply continue. The information about the albus is really great... Especially as I'm a musician in a band... But the rest, the talking about how things are, is very calming and reassuring and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I've found I've been in the same places you talk about when these podcasts air, I suppose many of us with an attunement to empathy are going to react in the same way. But yes, it's comforting to feel less alone. I discovered your music in 2010 I think, so Addicted was the first album that came out when I knew your music, and I've been to at least one gig on every tour since... Including Plovdiv. So this has a special place in my heart, memories of being younger, complicated as that may have been.

  • @MysticMindAnalysis
    @MysticMindAnalysis 4 роки тому +9

    One thing I've learned about your music from playing bass, Devin, is that even when you do a simpler song in standard tuning, they are fun as hell! I regularly play "Bend it like Bender", and am currently learning to play "Vampira" from the Synchestra album. Thanks for giving me new motivation to face the challenges learning bass can bring!

    • @Australalien89
      @Australalien89 3 роки тому

      Same here! Epicloud also has some great grooves and shifts and fills. Synchestra for me is very fun and challenging to play. Keep bass-ing!

    Noice! I got introduced to DTP whilst driving from SoCal to Vegas whilst on a 'work' trip. Saw you play a few days later in North Vegas at a biker's bar and my silver tongued Welsh pal blagged us into the meet and greet. It was a most excellent introduction into seeing you touring this album 😀

  • @michaelespinosa9168
    @michaelespinosa9168 4 роки тому +3

    One of my favorite albums of all time! Sometimes certain art, especially music can transcend space and time and expand one's vision of what is possible. This album always takes me back to 2010, when I was 37 years old and life was amazingly simpler, yet somehow much more complex if that makes any sense. Not to be too nostalgic, but I truly think this album represented a Renaiisance for Devin, kind of like Pulp Fiction did for John Travolta! The layers, the melodies, the sheet beauty of Anneke's leads and harmonies transcended rock/pop/metal and in a way created a new genre of sonic bliss in my opinion. There's a beautiful sadness to this album which I love so very much.

    • @Giganotabehemoth87
      @Giganotabehemoth87 3 роки тому +2

      It's amazing isn't it that merely thinking back to 2010 feels like reminiscing about a simpler/happier time, like we do when talking about the 90's or 80's. I was about 22 back then and a girlfriend of mine actually got it for me knowing I was a fan of Devin and Strapping Young Lad. I think immediately I knew this was an album that was going to be revered by many for years to come. The shiny pop metal sound allowed your "normie" friends as others have pointed out to listen to it along with you, yet there's enough of Devin's trademark deep self aware lyricism and sonic power for long time fans of his to appreciate.

    @chrishill7568 3 роки тому

    I came and saw dev on this tour at a meet and greet session before the show and he asked me sincerely how i was going and just that question from him made things for me much better. Because at the time i wasnt good. But his music and his genuine interest in others makes everything in the world a lot better.
    Looking forward to the next album and tour!!

    I discovered Devy by accident.
    Being a HUGE fan of the Gathering for many years, and then discovering this album, it took me by surprise. Here was a new male vocalist (for me) that was quickly becoming my fav metal vocalist after Warrel Dane, collabing with a female vocalist that sounded a lot of Anneke.
    I bought the album, flipped it around, and low and behold, it WAS Anneke!! What a magical moment! Two of my fav metal vocalists collabing in such a beautiful wayb

    @romanylovesyou 3 роки тому

    About 40 minutes in, when he starts on the subject of his own self-realization of addiction- to not necessarily drugs or alcohol, as such is not my case either-but addiction to stress and anxiety and the overwhelming, constant feeling of unease and unrest and tension, I just suddenly started crying, much to my own shock. Him speaking his own self-realizations hit me and caused me to realize them about myself as well, something I could never quite pin down or put my finger on. How quitting one addiction didn't actually stop the addiction, but just shifted it onto another feeling or subject or action within oneself, that really opened my eyes. I am always in my own head too much as well, but often I don't even realize these things about myself. Thank you, Dev, you have helped me today. This is the first podcast of yours I've listened to, and although you said it was a day in which you were not good with words and are in a dark space, you have woken me up to my own self, and in so have inspired me to help myself in ways I didn't know I needed to.

    Thanks for this Devin, I love listening to your podcasts! You are one of the most fluent speakers I've listened to... although it did occasionally sound a bit like you were. Channeling. William. Shatner on this one. Perhaps he's in your head with you?
    Some good tips for getting through this interesting time we're living in too.

  • @cloudrise

    Glad that he focused more on the actual process of the album and the details that went into it..some of the past ones veered more into just talking about unrelated things. Not that it's a bad thing, I could listen to him read the dictionary and be content. But hearing the process behind these albums I love is what I am here for!

    After hearing you for the first time in Ayreon, this album was what I found when searching for “Devin Townsend”. This album in particular (plus Meshuggah) is what got me through crazy months doing my MSc thesis. Meshuggah for the rythm, this one to keep positive. Thanks!

Yes, you can really feel and hear the ways some songs is written from a producers point on the "Addicted" album. The song "The way home" is masterfully constructed and sooo fun to play on drums! ;-) "Chill, beautiful, relaxing, heavy, and punchy" All that within 3 minutes! Take care!

    Now I have to go listen to this whole album.. I still play it over and over.. Devy..I love you. Keep going it's ALL creative it's all you. I can't wait. Anything you do....I'm still saying Radio Music Hall for the next venue in NYC.. Don't worry about the podcasts. You are more important .. ;) We all can wait.. for a time-lapse in this universe and you are.. saying everything makes plenty of sense. At least now you can plan it out to your pleasure. IF you frame your mind to do it you do. I am scared shitless of this all. Please stay safe. you and your lovely family. Much love from New York.
    You are so so missed.."I gotta pee..I gotta pee.." heheh Beasties and the bathroom..You won an Emmy that night..lol Plus I always LOVE listening to you. I find it hilarious that you hit on the AC/DC repetitive sounds of BS commercial rock. You're a great teacher with sublime thoughts about how many of us.. find out the musicians path :)

    I just found this, I didn't know you have a podcast. It's so empowering to hear you talk about your process as somebody who shares your introspective nature and your taste in music, who also happens to be a personal hero and as I'm trying to learn music production, it's like I'm talking to myself from the future... I'm really looking forward to The Puzzle, I can only imagine what a year in solitary has done for your creative process. Thanks for your thoughts on addiction and meditation. I could always tell where you were coming from with these lyrics but it really helps contextualize the experience to hear your process.
    2020 was actually a great year for me, I started on a keto diet and frankly I'm amazed. When I hear you talk about eating chips I think, wow, I used to eat chips, too. I wonder, are those chips like American chips in a bag or like English chips out of the fryer? I also started a collection of gear and am building a studio in my home, doing electronic music, mostly. I greatly appreciate getting to hear your liner notes, I'll have to go back and listen to the other podcasts now. Stay weird and come see us in Alaska after we get this whole pandemic/apocalypse bs sorted, we'd love to get to see you in concert some day!
