I don't love Devin. =)

Who is this Devin fellow?

AND, to make the other main statement of your post clear: We all love the emoticons!

i remember this post where i had like 20 's, 10 's and 2 's or something, someone made sure they counted every one of them
i'm an expressive person, god damnit

anyway
Yeah, Dev rocks.

You might even say Yanko is emotive.

Rim shot? 80's slow clap? Anyone?!?! C'mon, that was GOLD, baby!!

So, my review of the first listen:

1- Monga's intro sounds sweet, nice to set up the mood
god bless monga and softsynths

2-Atomic Ants: The cover is REALLY cool, sounds well recorded and mixed. It's got balls

3- Vortech: chunky shit as usual, and i LOVE the electronica part (not to mention the meshuggahness )

4- October: as i already stated, amazing song! Really like the harmonies, it oozes devyness in the right way, without sounding TOO similar because of all the other layers, which is very good.

5- Gozu's interlude: funny as hell loved it
i just don't know if i listened to the whole thing, cause it kinda locked up my stream

6- Pat & Stu's track: rythmic as hell, as a drummer i just had to like it a lot
the clean guitars give it a kinda weird atmosphere (at least to me), which improves the overall feeling.

7- Silentist's: REALLY liked this one. Very chilly, without losing its guts

8- When Oceans Switch: nice tittle Liked the vocals! Too bad i can't listen to them very well yet, because of the streaming's quality. Really cool riffage,
the mid section and the way it builds up right before the end are my fav parts.

9- Dark Light ...: REALLY nice vocal melodies, nice harmonies, very Opethesque (and since i'm a newbie Opeth fan, it's two thumbs up ), but without losing the originality. And i just hit the mid section and i said "SHIT, this is REALLY good!", so yeah, i guess i liked it

10- Greg's: awesomeness! Really chilly, i wanna grab the lossless version so i can listen to this one with my headphones, sounds really trippy and relaxing

11- Adrift: another chilly as hell one, which i can't wait to listen on lossless! Loving the vocals, too bad the streaming kinda "empoofs" them (that's gotta be the weirdest word i've used so far )

12- Cheese Interlude: great way to go from chillness to chillness, adding a spice of bizarreness to it, go monga go, again

13- Terraformer: he got the lucky 13, and he deserves it
awesome song, as everyone here must be expecting. The structures are really good, and it keeps on driving on and on forward without letting you breath
i'm actually sad cause my track comes right after THIS one, if you want your band to sound good, always play after the WORST band, not the best!

14- The triangular blablabla: who the fuck put this thing here? 8/
at least has a nice acoustic midsection my bro recorded to save it
I hope i can make some multimedia thingy to explain the story behind it (yås, there's a story behind it, that's why it has all kinds of badly acted voice-overs and sfx; it's more of a "movie for the blind" than a song, in a way ). I'd redo this whole thing if i could, to be honest, and the streaming made it sound even worse to me

15- Blame: already liked the idea behind it (coming before canada and all:D), but i was very wrong thinking it would sound kinda funny, it's actually oscillating between scary and chilly, which is awesome

16- Canada: i already loved this one, to me it's the best cover on hevydevyrecords.com BY FAR. Another one in the "can't wait to hear it lossless", since monga said it was remastered.

17- Moth Wing: this one impressed me in the beginning
It started out slowly, and BAM, a huge epic guitarwork starts! Another one with great riffage! Very cool and roughneck transition from the nice peaceful marimbas to a world of BAWS
I have to say this: if you added huge orchestral sections on top of that riffage... i'd marry you
but the great thing is: it already sounds huge and great WITHOUT it.

18- Bloaty Climax: finally came to the last behemoth in the album
weird shit, closing up the whole trip the way it should


so, basically, it was a rough first listen.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY loved this one, it's a great compilation, and to be honest i didn't expect it to be THIS good. I honestly didn't think that there's any song that isn't good! So i really congratulate everyone who sent in stuff, and especially monga for putting this great selection working, and for the artwork too

I'll hopefully be able to do a better review when i get the songs in better quality, and i'll probably find out more kickass details all around

once again
WEE
awesome shit and congrats everyone

There you go, Yanko. You really did go a bit mental...


On topic: Hooray for Devy Metal!

i remember this post where i had like 20 's, 10 's and 2 's or something, someone made sure they counted every one of them

It was I!!! I counted them! Worship me!!! GET ON YOUR KNEES ALREADY GODDAMNIT









No I don't have anything better to do.

Devin's overrated. The real love goes to Tracy

i totally hijacked the post for my smiley fest

but anyway, i'm brazilian god damnit, it's in my blood to be expressive
Just as Monga or Biert, i actually control myself to slow down on the crazy "AEuheauha" typed laughs and emoticon fest to talk with them on MSN
