Now that it's had a lengthy period of time to sink in? Listening back, and I hate to say this, being SUCH a massive DT fan, I have to say I'm finding a tiny bit cheesey in hindsight. And that's after really liking it initially. I know it was kind of more of a 'self indulgent filler' type of release for him, but I gotta say it's the 'least phenomonal' thing in his back catalogue (terms such as 'worst' or 'weakest' don't apply to the great man!). What do ya think?
I think ZTO is probably the hardest album out of all that Devin has released to 'click' with. It is his first proper concept album, and I agree the story and even the whole concept is a little cheesy and strange . But in general it is the most extravagant and different thing the Dev has done, in my opinion anyway. Maybe try listening to it as a seperate album from the rest of his works, without trying to compare it to sounds and styles of previous albums. I wouldn't say it was the 'least phenomenol' thing Devin has done, instead maybe the 'most original' or 'most different'
I myself still listen to ZTO on a regular basis.
Can't get enough of the stuff!
