I introduced a fellow prog fan at work to Devin Townsend, and he said I kinda look like him, when compared to his devil suit in the Vampira video. A big compliment.
I'm 27, and have been sporting a skullet for the past 5 years (started going bald around 19 as well), and I have a goatee and glasses. What a shame I have neither the musical talent nor artistic merit Dev has.
We all rip off Meshuggah.

I'm going to go a different direction here.

What got me into Devin was my search and love for beautiful metal music. It's hard to find, but when I first got Terria and OM I just felt like "This is what I've been looking for." Cynic's Traced in Air is one of the few other albums that does that for me. Devin talked about trying to make heavy music a viable artform...he is succeeding and I don't want him to stop. I don't want him to go completely ambient or electronica. I want him to keep stretching what can be done with heavy music, and yes in a positive way.

SYL is brilliant but I can't take much of it at this age because it's just emotionally draining. But I'd much rather listen to "Seventh Wave" or "Storm"

So here's my plug...I want the vibe of Ghost with heavy guitars. The solo of Deep Peace, the solo sections at the end of Ki, that's just from another planet. More of that please.

As if my opinion means anything.

While discussing this topic more on another forum, someone was kind enough to post this:

Freaking epic.

Ouch...

38 and hair still down to my arse. Not so much on my forehead.

#102. You remember when Devin Townsend joined Vai and wondered who the hell this kid is?

It was nice waking up and seeing that thoughtful response from Devin. I won't quote it again, but it sounds as if creatively Devin is leaving the door wide open - who knows what the future holds? In any event, the release of Deconstruction is actually making me more nervous now than excited - just don't know what to expect! I already know I will love Ghost.

I hear you. I think I'm more excited though, and I already know I will love Juular. I'm walking on walls just waiting for that full song.

This is exactly how I feel, I know I will probably love Decon too but... I don't even know what to brace myself for! I think when I finally get my hands on it I'll be too scared to press play for a good while.

Fast forward two months to when we're actually holding the CD's in our hands.

All I can imagine feeling is a super giddy sense of awe.

And confusion as to why I'm holding them but not listening to them.

These boards are going to EXPLODE when they're released. haha

And just to join in on the train.

I am 19 and currently losing my hair.

Its migrating to my face.

Lol, I have a spectacular head of hair but I've been going grey since I was about 20.

Sigh...is it the 20th of June yet?

You know the world isn't just when the biological process of losing/graying your hair speeds up faster than the release of the albums.

What sucks is suffering through the teenage years because your arms and legs resemble Sasquatch (and being told it all the time), but taking solace that 'at least I won't go bald since I have so much hair' but then in the mid 20's it starts falling out of your head...

Anxious for at least the pre-order to come up soon. That'll make me feel a step closer to the album and that I'm contributing something to Devin's effort.

I love the fucking randomness of these forums!

I could look like that... if I felt like it.
