The Devin Townsend Project - Deconstruction
*Metal nerd-centric album recommendation. According to Wikipedia:
'...the album is a concept album focused around a man who goes to Hell and meets the devil. The devil eventually promises to show him the secrets of the universe and presents a cheeseburger to him. However, being a vegetarian, the man cannot eat the cheeseburger, rendering his journey pointless.
It's basically a glimpse into the mind of a very stange man. Sound-wise it's Strapping Young Lad meets Danny Elfman. Took about 6 listens to get into as there's so much going on but it's really good. Silly in places with a lot of OTT vocals, choir-like harmonies and purile humour but no shortage of prog awesomeness. If you like schizoid metal you may like it...
