Devin Townsend straddles the line between mad genius and brilliant insanity. He builds an impenetrable wall of sound that demands every aspect of your attention. The layers, the sensitivity, the brutality. His musical complexity is the essence of what the complexity of the human person is. You don't try to figure out Mr. Townsend, you stand back and understand that this man is giving the human experience a score.

“Layers upon layers upon layers... and spaceships!” Townsend in a nutshell.

Cool concept of having an engineer react to tracks. Glad I found your channel!

This is the best professional reacts to X I've seen. Not only commenting on the piece, but the cutaway to show your work and thoughts make this top quality. It's especially hard in this instance, as what we hear is not exactly what you do in the studio, so the extra explanation and examples really make it. Bravo!

To quote Greg Gutfeld on Devin Townsend's production style: "Maybe the entire POINT is that it's so over the top."

I had recently deleted my KZread account but had rejoin just to comment and subscribe because of this video. Thank you 1000 times for critiquing Devin’s work. He’s the most underrated musician/ composer on the planet and is by far the greatest artist I’ve ever heard (IMHO). Please, for the love of God, critique his song “Why?”off the same album. It’s heavenly. His entire album “Ghost” is just as majestic and epic and is not metal whatsoever. He’s very bold and isn’t afraid to incorporate different genres and this album is testament of that.

Really loved this, the in depth EQ explanation was very cool

I loved this video way more when he pulled that program up on his computer. Fascinating stuff. Great video, first time viewer and definitely and new subscriber!

Yeah, Devy loves his wall of sound. Here he adds a wall of visuals as well.

Devin is nothing less than a genious. He's known for keeping the vocals low in the mix (I'm sad to say), and reverb "is da shit" for mr Townsend :) . He's done a ton of albums in a ton of different genres. As commented before, this song is good but nothing compared to most of his other stuff. By the way he started his career at a very young age as singer for Steve Vai. Please check out and react to more of Devy's stuff, you won't be dissapointed ! :-) Take care ! Cheers !

As a fellow sound engineer and a loooong time Devin fan I think this is an awesome introduction to him for you Dennis. Lovely to see you responding to the track with emotion and physical movement... so much power in all that Devin creates. I love how he plays with reverb and delay, and the emotions he creates with his voice as instrument (depth, thickness, harmonies, power, intimacy). Truly beautiful. Try Grace, Higher, Supercrush, Universal Flame, Fallout... if you want to start with an album, his latest one "Empath" is awesome. Addicted might be one to look at too. Thanks for what you do sir :)

Totally dig your attitude and philosophy toward music and finding the balance between the studio and the art. Subscribed fo sho!!

Awesome that you just pick out the frequency by ear - I'd be swooping up and down a bit to find it ;) . I think this song is quite tiring on the ears for some reason, like there's noise in the higher frequency range. It's probably all the guitars and distorted vocals in the background adding up. I think Genesis, another Devin song, is very interesting to check out as well because it spans a lot of moods and styles while staying cohesive. It's a bit long though ;) . Great video!

It's their complexity, dynamics, technical mastery and intricate use of musical tools that makes them classical pieces. in the case of wintersun, there's way more going on than just strings.

No, I don't think Devin is a "cunt" in any shape or form. Talking about the mixes, I don't have an issue with "wall of sound", the issue we're talking about is the final mixes seem to have "too much going on" as of lately. For example, if you watch his 3-hour Toontrack stream where he records an entire song in that time, the song itself is called "Stars" and it sounds GLORIOUS on that demo. When the album was released, the final version of "Stars" lost all its energy and sounded too over-produced, too "tame" compared to the demo. That is a perfect example of what we're talking about, it's subtle but it's noticeable.
