THAT DRUMMER GUYS TOP 20 ALBUMS OF 2014 2,) Devin Townsend Project- Z2 Dark Matters FFO: The original Ziltoid Album, Progressive Metal, Light Strapping Young Lad moments WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA? Hevy Devy did not top my 2014 list? What sorcery is this? Well it goes like this....no wait Ill save that for the review of the Number 1 Album Of the Year. Devin has been talking about doing a second Ziltoid album for years now. The main reason being that he felt the first Ziltoid album felt more like a demo and wanted to do a proper story of the Coffee loving, farting Ziltoidian alien. Devin and Co. did that this year with Dark Matters. Along with the hate for Sky Blue I expect just as much hate, if not more, from Dark Matters, there is something you gotta keep in mind, it is meant to be a bad, cheesy, radio play. Musically everyone in the band completely shines. Ryan Van Poederooyn in particular shines brightest with some of the most impressive drumwork in his recorded career. Having to follow up what the Drumkit From Hell did on ZTO is no easy task. I wrote enough about Dark Matters and Sky Blue in my full scale review on my website thatdrummerguy so there is no need to rehash everything about this album. But simply put, This is a over the top, musically chaotic, but muically pleasing, cheesy, coffee spewing, fart lashing, absurd metaphor implying, radio play. If you cant behind that, youll hate this, if you can, you will love this. But what on Earth can make this album Number 2 on a self proclaimed Hevy Devy fanboy Best of 2014 list? https://youtube/watch?v=1DJrnr3cnro
