I'm not really a fan of the music, but at the Download Festival the frontman's banter was hilarious  :hihi:

Couldn't've said it better myself. Devin is without a doubt one of the greatest artists I know of, and the material he's done with the DTB is just sheer awesomeness.

Other than 'In My Dreams With You', that album hasn't really become a hit in my books. But good job though, he was pretty young when he sang in 'Sex & Religion'.

If you're ever feeling down just look at the picture of Heavy Devy in the S&R sleeve  :rofl:

The DTB is a lot better than SYL in my opinion, though it's hard to compare because they're so different. DTB is somewhat heavy, and yeah there's some nice riffage at times, but it's a lot more mellow and melodic compared to SYL. Devin likes to create this huge wall of sound, with a million little things happening at the same time. Definitely worth checking out, and I recommend starting with Terria, as most find it his most complete album. Songs like Earth Day, Deep Peace and Stagnant are just perfection :)
