OK, we're getting closer to "release time" and the reviews are starting to fly in, so here will be the place for you guys to post any reviews you find.
(please keep specific discussions to the Spoiler thread, at least until the actual release of the album) :wink:

Go for it!

Here is a great detailed review of Synchestra from Sea of Tranquility:

I'll also add my roundtable review here once I've digested the disc well enough.

Hope you like it.

Nail Broth was a working title for Gaia before Devin changed it. Apparently the reviewer wasn't aware of that.

I've written one, though I'll leave it away from here for a week or so, until more people have the album and it becomes less of a spoiler.

Some folk may have read it @ SYL or RVP though... :wink:

http://www.laut.de/lautstark/cd-reviews/t/townsend_devin/synchestra/index.htm (german) 5/5 points.

In german MetalHammer-magazine it earned 7/7 points in the review and was second-best album of the month in the average rating of all reviewers (first was Come Clarity by In Flames).

Damn, you beat me to it!

LAUT.de - cool website, and that reviewer Michael Edele seems to be a huge Dev fanatic. Does he post here? 8)
Any 5/5 review is fine with me.

In Rock Hard (Germany) Synchestra is one of the top 5 albums of the month, but the new In Flames comes out on top. :roll:

Cum Clarity > Synchestra is a joke! :evil:

Hey..
It's amazing how Devin's songs get better as you start to remember them in your head.
This is the opposite of popular songs

I did a presentation on that song in Grade 7 music class, before I got into real music.
