       #DevinTownsend's new album #TheMoth is out today. Deluxe Edition consists of the studio version and the raw orchestra & choir performance ("The Afterlife"). I saw the live debut performance last year on livestream and though I liked it back then already, with proper mixing it sounds absolutely phenomenal.

       @Gargron everytime he puts a new album out which is supposed to sound "very different", I end up a bit disappointed because I find his productions sound similar. Will give this one a spin though :)

       When I first heard it last year, I had a hard time connecting with it at first. It's not a traditional album in the sense of, well, having individual songs that you could play in isolation if so desired. It's like a whole piece, with flowing themes and motifs. It was through repeat listening that I was able to see through it.

       @Gargron But…where’s the guitar?!?! Still a masterwork though.

       The studio release sounds so big, so bombastic, so sonically elaborate that I think had I heard it for the first time this way, I would've connected to it immediately despite the irregular structure. Basically:

       I will say one thing though... Specifically on the tracks Lexin and Stained Hearts, I much prefer the mix and vocals from the live performance. I think they hit harder and Lynn Wu's higher register makes Stained Hearts sound much more otherworldly. I'll have to get the blu-ray...
