I guess I'm odd in that I find Decon neither exhausting nor overwhelming, if anything I'm kinda glad that someone finally came out with a record that has enough going on to keep my mind busy without leaving part of it to wander about thinking of random unpleasant topics... it even has a bit of a Danny Elfman feel to it, I could completely see this being the soundtrack to some Tim Burton movie. I think the cover art suits the music perfectly.

Not odd at all. Exactly the way I feel.

Right there with ya chief.
The end of TMM is so reminiscent of "Man on the Burning Tightrope" by Firewater. Loving these tracks so much. Can't wait for the real thing.

i agree totally.i think eveything about it is perfect

Question: Why the cheeseburger? Is it because it's a popular internet meme? Also look at this!

I need to stop waking up and immediately ripping off Meshuggah.

I ripped-off Meshuggah once. It was only for $12.76. I was disappointed.

Dev seems to make one truly awesome heavy album per decade.

90s - City
00s - Alien
10s - Deconstruction

So I guess in the 2020's when Devin's kid becomes a teenager, we can expect new material for heavy music
Haha I kid. Could really do with some Ghost now, I am excited about it in like a meeting an old friend way,
you pretty much know what to expect and know it will be awesome, so just kind of quietly looking forward to it.

I really am wishing I had Ghost, now, man.

I don`t know anybody who I can suggest this album but personally I fucking heart burn this album Absolutely amazing job!

And yes, I always download Dev`s new albums beforehand coz I simply can`t wait "anymore". I have all albums in many versions DOT

Try The Hummer. I cued it up straight after Decon and melted away. I had a nice afternoon.
Loves me some AmbiDev.

Bookmarking the entire album with Drench at the start and Feather afterwards is quite special (:

Chiming in here, just registered to the forum but been a fan for a long time.

Sorry, but when I found out about the leak I had to listen to it. I'll buy the album twice (one hardcopy, one on itunes) and some merch when it releases, and of course see you live whenever I get the chance. Just had to get my guilt out of the way.

Allright. So yeah, this is fantastic. Some songs are definitely more easy to grasp upon the first listen (juular, sumeria, stand) than others. Some songs like "masturbator" and "Deconstruction" took me 3-4 listens before I started getting into them (heard that I WOULD love them instantly, but just had to get to know them. This shit isn't like" Poker Face" by Lady Gaga that is cool for 1-2 listens until it starts becoming an exercise in torture). After listening through the entire album like 5-6 times now, I gotta say you really nailed it 100% as usual. So hectic, humorous, melodic and CHAOTIC. Reminds me of the chaos that the old SYL stuff had in a way, just much happier (as you say, you've obviously changed since then). Just awesome.

A+, can't wait to buy this/hear it live

Listening to Ki for the first time since OD'ing on Decon. Decon really does make it better. Stunning.

Listened to the album, yes, I will be buying it. Goes without saying.

As for the album, it sounds like the Infinity album raped the Ki album and this is their baby..

The Mighty Masturbator really is a sight to behold. (a sound to behear?)
Just, brilliant!
Please don't ever stop making music Devin.

There was actually an orgy, Alien and Ziltoid (see what I did there - but I reckon I've heard echoes of both) were invited. Hell Mighty masturbator has a hell of a reference to Numbered! in it.
