| | Devin’s talent in the production area is only surpassed by his musical visions. | | | With this album you can hear more and more of Devin’s 80’s roots coming through
mainly in the vocals, his vocal talent is more evident on this recording, going from his well known growls and screams to perfectly controlled clean vocals with amazing power. | | | Being recorded at the height on Devin’s emotional instability this album is a chaotic dive into a mind that has knows no boundaries. |

| | Canadian guitarist and lauded songwriter Devin Townsend is currently rehearsing for not one but two as-yet-untitled full-length albums. | | | According to Townsend's official site, www.hevydevy.com, the two albums will be released at the same time, presumably on the musician's own label HevyDevy Records, a label repsonsible for releasing the massive Terria effort. | | | "Devin is rehearsing twice a day, first with Byron, Jed, and Gene then another for the second project with drummer Scotty McCargar, who you may remember as a former SYL keyboardist, and guitarist Brian Waddell who Devin has been playing with since he was 15," a post on the Townsend's website said. |

| | Blistering.com :: Music :: Reviews :: Devin Townsend - "Physicist" |
| | With Devin on keys and guitar, there is a light, high-pitched synthetic aura behind each song that enhances Devin's familiar screams, most noticeable on the appropriate opener, "Namaste", a song about how Devin is tired of the meaningless, clichéd words that so many songwriters use today. | | | Devin has stated before that he aimed for a more "pop" type sound for Physicist, and while I don't think N-Sync's position on Billboard's Hot 100 is threatened, the sound simply works for Physicist. | | | Physicist doesn't really approach the visceral, possessed heaviness that SYL has been struck with on their albums, save for the song "Death" which might sound at home on an SYL album. |

| | Like Devin's Ocean Machine, this record focuses on melody rather than brutality (which is reserved for Townsend's Strapping Young Lad band) and the effect is amazing. | | | This project sees songwriting genius Devin Townsend taking his music in a slightly different direction. | | | This is music of the earth, not of the recording studio (though the production is excellent) and the sound at times seems to call on the fury of the wind, the ominous presence of the mountain, and the tranquility of the field for its inspiration. |
