do not... DO NOT go to work stoned and having deconstruction play in your headphones... especially if you work with heavy machinery....


...i had a bad workday...

Forget Decon, why the fuck would you go to work stoned?

Especially if you work with heavy machinery! WTF?

Leper, please tell me you are not a pilot.

Anyone here a Tom Waits fan? I get Black Rider vibes at certain times in this, maybe even some Blood Money.

Beginning my eight spin of Decon soon and loving it even more.

The drumming on this record is outstanding!

All cudos possibly available to Kirk and Ryan for that. You guys ROCK!
Devins vocals are off the hinge.
All the parts I thought I wouldn't like upon first listen now sits comfortably
like a big ass in a soft chair. Was not at all what I expected it to be, but
turned out to be way better than what I thought I wanted.

The Mighty Masturbator... Epic. Just so epic.

The only negative thing I have to say about the album is that the
pause between Planet of the Apes and Sumeria should've been a
few seconds longer.

And when that's the only complaint I can come up with...
Yeah. Quite possibly album of the year.

This has to be my third "review"-ish post about it, but
with ever listen there's something new to pick up.
Probably should've waited and written all at once.

Fuck it. If there's any message board that can handle a bit
of rambling, this is it, right?

To infinity... AND SURROUND!

The only negative thing I have to say about the album is that the
pause between Planet of the Apes and Sumeria should've been a
few seconds longer.

I completely disagree. That immediate transition is downright chilling - it wouldn't have been the same with a longer pause.

What I find funny is that a lot of online advertisements I see now are for hamburger-related items.

Beforem I said this album was ok but I didn't care for it. After listening to it three more times and giving everything time to process, I take it back. This album is the heaviest thing since weight was made that still sounds like music. This album is awesome.

The third listen is where most of the tracks came together for me. Definitely still needs more time.

Deconstructions sound is so huge and layered that it turns into mush with my pc-speakers. With headphones it is listenable and my god do I like it. Only negative thing is that I got a headache after the third time. Now where is Ghost to heal my head?

Here's a drawing I made to describe the sound:

I like it better each time I listen, but what's REALLY of note are the swells of what I can't even describe as epic, but rather something beyond. Towards the end of Stand for example really stands out, but there are definitely others.

I've decided that possibly the darkest (heaviest, maybe not) moment on the album is "hunger does what sorrow never could... feed."
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNDUNDUUUN

[Octillus]

That and "It's cold inside, my son. Nothing ever bothers me now."

Oh man, chills. So much more of the heaviness comes through in clean vocals on this album, and I love it for that.

I think I've got my head around it now (quite a claim), and its definitely one of Devin's best ever, and probably my new favourite.
Now I've noticed the Ki relation I'm really looking forward to hearing all four.

Leper, please tell me you are not an astronaut.

Pff. Ziltoid just told me that Devin totally stole the Deconstruction cover..

Here's a scan of an old album cover that Z had back on Ziltoidia 9:

(Ziltoid says sorry for the coffee stains)

For me, I'm glad this album leaked so early. Now I won't be so hung up on it, and I can give Ghost a lot more attention when they finally are released. I had hoped the two albums would have been released at different times just for that reason.

That is a damn good point. Ghost is gonna be so awesome!

Leper, please tell me you are not a T-Rex revived by the power of satan in a space station with ultra-3000 deathray guns pointed towards earth!
