Yeah, there are far too many subtleties on the album for it to work really well live. Is Synchestra heavier/less complex, then?

I've seen him in Strapping Young Lad. I didn't enjoy the show all that much.

I just bought tickets to an Opeth show that the Devin Townsend Band is opening for. I hadn't previously really listened to them, but I'm listening to Terria now and it's amazing! I'm just wondering how this music would translate to a live setting, though. Has anybody seen him? How was he?
