A vibrant tour of perhaps the most insanely creative musician around mind. Devin once again opens us up to his world of insanity through deep soundscapes and intriguing lyrics. The gentle 'let it roll' beautifully puts the listener at ease and relaxes them for whats to come thought its simplicity. before you know it songs develop into a world of sound that with each listen grows, typical of Townsend. The mix of genres provides a fresh look on the album, drawing on more directions than previous work and the samples add to the albums depth. the next song, 'hypergeek', as a curious feel to it, drawing the listener in before exploring in a colorful world. and this general feeling continues throughout the album, one of curiosity and intensity. compared to previous releases this album is not as straight rock, but fan will not be disappointed, as it takes an even greater experimental approach without being hard to listen to
