WHAT IS IT WITH...

Canadian men...

With weird things for aliens...

Who nude up for their art...

Who look hot in skirts...

And badass with guitars?

Today I'm listening to Transcedence from 2016.

It's been so fascinating to hear Townsend's sound evolve. It's still larger than life, epic and majestic, but it keeps growing more and more complex and textured. I don't understand anything about music theory, but I know a banger when I hear it.

Failure is an especially interesting song because it takes a Pink Floyd -esque guitar break. I've heard people compare Townsend to Pink Floyd, but this is where I actually understand and hear what they mean.

Stars is another incredible banger from this album. It's sweeping, you can sing along to it, it has a progression, it's majestic. It's just. My god. Such an incredible album.

Do you transcend this?

I skipped a few days because I was busy and straight up Forgor, but today I'm listening to Z^2, which is listed as two separate albums on Wikipedia, but as a double feature on Spotify. Either way, I'm listening to both today.

The first album continues the majestic, airy vibe of Epicloud, taking it even further and bigger than Epicloud did. It's just as awesome and even more refined and polished. It works pretty well on its own too. It's an incredible listen, especially after Epicloud.

The second album seems to continue the Ziltoid story. This time, Ziltoid has returned to Earth to get coffee, but he's welcome like some kind of rockstar or a god. Ziltoid has a creature called a poozer with him, and the mother of the poozers, a power hungry war princess, has noticed that one of her babies is missing. Uh oh! The poozer escapes Ziltoid and returns to his home planet and tells his mother that he was abducted by Ziltoid and brought to Earth. UH OH!

And so the war princess gathers her troops and attacks Earth. The attack is ruthless, and humans throw Ziltoid into a high security prison because their good will towards him quickly soured while being attacked. However, Captain Spectacular, the general of the human army, goes to negotiate with Ziltoid to try and find out if there's a way to fight against the war princess. Captain Spectacular and Ziltoid enter an uneasy alliance to defeat the war princess and to use Ziltoid's ultimate weapon, Herman the Planet Smasher. Who is a small furry guy the size of a football and he's so cute (or so the narrator tells us, this is still a non-visual story in audio form).

But oh no! Ziltoid betrays the humans! But wait! Captain Spectacular tries to negotiate with Ziltoid, begging him to think back to his childhood and reveals that he and Ziltoid are half brothers. OH SHIT.

Ziltoid, now convinced to work for the humans again, commands the Planet Smasher to attack the war princess, but she defeats Herman easily and kills Captain Spectacular.

But seeing Ziltoid cry over Captain Spectacular's body, sadly singing Memories from Cats, Planet Smasher feels something spark in his heart... Which is hatred for musicals.

With Planet Smasher's help, the human kind evict Ziltoid and the war princess into a worm hole and start celebrating their victory. Ziltoid awakens in a barren, abandoned moon, alone with the war princess and one bag of coffee.

This is a super fun romp of an album. I love stories and this was a light-hearted and fun story to follow. I can't wait for the next part of the Ziltoid story.

Devin Townsend Project / Canucklehead (demo)

I wanna tell you that the whole damn thing is beauty Even when times are brooding Turn off the radio and throw it away I got a thing or two that I wanna say Well I gotta keep on moving, gotta see it through Everything is OK!

I wanna say that I think everything is music Even things that I wouldn't choose, yeah All the people around me are evil And then every song is done by the Beatles Well I gotta keep on moving, gotta see it through Everything will be OK

If you think you're moving but it's harder to tell I can guarantee you that you're wearing it well If you think you're going through the fires of hell Well you better keep on going

And let me tell you that the whole damn thing is brutal Even when you're trying to get through though I'm a believer till the end of the day And you will not stand in my way Well I gotta keep on moving, gotta see it through Everything will be OK

If you keep it moving then it's harder to tell I can guarantee you that you're wearing it well I can feel you're going through the fires of hell Well we better keep on going

I wanna tell you that the whole damn thing is beauty Even when times are brooding I'm a Canadian in every way, especially talking in the US of A Well I gotta keep on moving, gotta see it through Everything'll be OK, everything'll be OK, everything'll be OK, everything is OK!
