    @@Qwerty-ks8dn This is your opinion, NOT a fact. Empath was conceived, written and recorded by Devin for Devin himself, not for his fans. It's music that describes a journey. That journey was and is Devin himself. We are not supposed to like it, it's not for us. He has done loads of albums for those 'other' reasons, but this is not one of them. If fans like it, great. A lot of fans like anything and everything that their idols put out, and that's ok too. Personally, I find it hard to connect with Empath. It doesn't resonate with me, but I do love 'Why?' For me it's the best track on the album. But...... that's my opinion, and no, it's not a fact either! ;-)

    @@Lectric_Blue Are you copy-pasting what Townsend's been saying in all the interviews? You need to read between the lines more. You're suggesting he made all the other albums for "others" and that is asinine. The most you could say this of is "Sky Blue" and "Transcendence", definitely not the other albums. Besides, since those two albums are 50 times better than "Empath", perhaps we can conclude he's better at writing music for others than when he's being overly self-indulgent and undisciplined.

    I haven't been able to stop thinking about this video since Ive seen it, and the subsequent...twentyish times I've rewatched it. There is INTENSE, profound meaning at the heart of it. There's a concept in alchemy (and also jungian psychology): “in sterquiliniis invenitur," latin for "in filth you will find it." In other words, the idea that what you need to find will be in the place you least want to look. Our guy here gets a brief hint of what the void really is (unfiltered by the ship's window) and throws himself headlong into the center of it. And what does he find when he reaches the center of the void, the thing that everyone else is running away from, is scared to face head-on? He finds HIMSELF. And he embraces that part of himself that lies at the center of what he initially wanted to escape, and becomes more than he was before, what he truly is.

It takes only about a few hours to compose such an easy song. The orchestration was really well made it take a bit more time but that is it. It is the vocal part which way nice, but in terms of artistry it is not even the same league.

    Devin is his own genre. My recommendation for your next song is Deadhead Live at the Royal Albert. His time in Strapping Young Lad was amazing too. The song Love? is my personal favorite, I'd recommend listening to a more recent upload than the official music video. It was released during the end of the time where audio compression was absolutely horrendous. Be warned, his music is like quicksand.

    I can't stop playing this song. Dev is Dev, he does his own thing and he really is a creative genius, he has no rules and has such an incredible voice to back up his songwriting talents. Seems such a shame that after like 25 albums and such devotion to his craft that he is not comparable to many chart topping acts, life does seem unjustly fair sometimes.
