DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT: GHOST

Where to begin with this album. I have listened to every Devin Townsend album repeatedly and am a huge fan but this album threw me for a loop. I originally didn't enjoy it too much and found it to be too soft and too long. After listening to it a few times more though I was in love. Fly the opening track is a track that will tell you of things to come. its extremely soft and relaxing while at the same time getting your attention (especially if you know Devin's other work). Almost every song goes into the next one perfectly. A lot of progressive rock fans may not like this album which is why I rated it four stars instead of five like I had planned. It's definitely not for everyone but I would suggest listening to it multiple times before laying down judgement. It is a great almost perfect album if you give it a chance. so a personal rating of 10/10 but using the star system I can not fairly say this is essential. If you love Devin's other work give it a listen if you have not listened to any of his previous albums go for something else for a "first time listener experience" because this is completely different than anything he has ever put out.
