This CD is absolutely brilliant. The problem is, I don't know why it's brilliant. It must be some digital form of nicotine Devin mixes in with the music. I've had Terria forever, and I thought Devin's old stuff was probably good but would never surpass Terria, but this might be better, I don't know yet. There is no good production, not much experimentation or weird stuff, not much long, epic songs ("Bastard" and "The Death of Music" are exception) but... there are just really really good, somewhat catchy, songs with a raw sound. There are no silly or random things found on "Infinity" either (not that that's a bad thing)

Devins vocals are good. The guitar work is good. The song structures are good. The lyrics are interesting, at least.

Here's some of my favorite songs.
"Life" this song is so catchy and simple but Devin's soaring vocals carry it far. Same thing for "Night" and "Voices in the Fan." "Bastard" is awesome and long. Then, "The Death of Music" is a lot longer (12 minutes) and is pretty slow and repetitive but awesome and epic.

And this cd has nothing to do with oceans. This cd is heavy - but not heavy like a hammer pounding you into the ground, heavy like a huge python crushing your bones and turning you into mush for tonight's dinner. Actually it reminds me of dry, hot, sunny, endless, golden, sandy deserts. Devin's voice is the great voice of Poseidon from beneath the sand or a boat washed ashore, even if there is no ocean for 1000 miles in any direction. Guitars range from gentle waves of sand to a devastating sandstorm. The mysteries of the ancient sand creatures wash ashore and are hidden by a few seconds of time.
Sorry, but this cd makes me go crazy.

BUT HOLD ON. You MUST get the version with the bonus track "Things Beyond Things." I don't know if it's on this version but Amazon.com fails to list it, or that other new one, but that song ends the album a lot better than "The Death of Music." It is so melodic and heartfelt it would make me cry every time if I was a girl. It reminds me of "Nobody Here" (even the melody) but a lot better. There is a loud annoying scream at the end of this song though, and after a long argument with one of my friends, we both agreed the scream is not good.

Sorry, I don't know how to better describe this cd. Don't make it the first one you get. Get Terria or Accelerated Evolution first and get used to Devin, because I have trouble explaining this one.

A bottomless deep. The domain of waves. An ocean with no surface -- you do not escape the waters until you hit Stop or the album ends. The heaviness is incredible, but it is not the heaviness that beats you into the ground -- it flows over and around you like a great mass of water. _Ocean Machine_ is a behemoth of an album, one of the finest metal productions ever recorded. Devin Townsend's voice is the bellow of Poseidon from beneath the waves or a tarnished sparkle of floatsam washed ashore. Guitars range from gentle waves stroking the shore to tsunamis flattening entire coastal towns. The mysteries of the sea beckon beneath the surface, stories and shadows hidden by the aeons -- reams of production tricks can be heard but they never lessen the power or the sound. The sound is layered and layered but one never gets the impression that it's "too much." Too many water metaphors? It's hard to resist simply because _Ocean Machine_ is like the ocean itself making music. Epic beyond words, _Ocean Machine_ is a difficult-to-describe masterpiece. It mainly boils down to images evokes and feelings savored. "Bastard" is a spectacular piece of haunting epic metal that sweeps all away with its epochal power. "Death of Music" is bombastically chilling, weeping synth epic. "Sister" is halcyon beauty, subtly writhing like the waters are a blanket under which people make love. I think there's a special kind of listener that listens to music and hears things other people can't hear. For that type of person, _Ocean Machine_ is something you must have. A unique experience -- the one and only album among the "ocean metal" genre.
