I don't think i can accurately rate the DTB albums in order, because i have yet to obtain/listen to some of them. out of the ones i've heard (more then half of) i'd have to say

1.Accelerated Evolution
2.Terria
3.Ziltoid the Omniscient

I've heard tracks from every other album, but i don't think i can accurately rate them yet. SYL is a different story entirely...

1.The New Black (I love every song on the album)
2.City (first Strapping album i heard. Love all the songs except Spirituality and Centipede.)
3.Alien (didn't like it at first, but it's grown on me alot)
4.Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing
5.SYL (i have yet to own this one, so it's at the bottom for now)

Hmm I've thought about this for awhile. And I think I've come up with a list at long last.

1. Synchestra.
2. Physicist.
3. Accelerated Evolution
4. Infinity.
5. Terria
6. Ocean Machine.
7. Ziltoid.

I haven't really listened to enough Strapping yet, but Alien is sounding pretty damn good so far. And a couple of songs from The New Black as well.

Ocean Machine and Ziltoid on last... I weep for you, Amber D:

yeah wtf is up with that,lol

I'd have to say (and I'm including the ambient albums):
1. Infinity
2. The Hummer
3. Terria
4. Syncystra
5. Ziltoid
6. Devlab
5. Accelerated Evolution
7. Ocean Machine: Biomech
8. Physicist

I like them all, but if I had to order them, I guess this is how I would do it.

Oh, and then top SYL, which is very, very hard for me:

1. City
2. The New Black (dont understand why some people hate on this one I love it...)
3. Alien
4. SYL

Havent really heard Heavy, so I wont comment on it.

Three records came immediately to my mind:
1. Terria
2. City
3. Ocean Machine

DT
1. Terria
2. Accelerated Evolution
3. Ocean Machine
4. Ziltoid
5. Infinity
6. Physicist
8 Offical Bootleg (can i have this? )
7. Synchestra
8. Ass sortid demos vol 1

SYL
1. Alien
2. City
3. SYL
4. The New Black
5. Heavy as a really heavy thin

I can't make a list, too difficult, but I can for certain say the following word without explanation:

TERRIA

That is all.

DTB:
1.Ocean Machine
2.Infinity
3.Accelerated Evolution
4.Syncestra
5.Terria
6.Ziltoid
7.Physicist

SYL:
1.Alien
2.City
3.The New Black
4.SYL
5.Heavier Then a Really Heavy Thing

Can't wait for Ki!

At one point I would have labeled it with OM at the top and Terria lower, etc. etc., but I now really can't order them. They all change and fluctuate all the time; every one gets better and better all the time. So I kind of just have to put them all in a straight horizontal line at number one.

In terms of Devin Townsend's mainstream releases (not including live albums, DVDs and demos), DTB and Strapping Young Lad:

1. Synchestra - Devin Townsend Band
2. Ocean Machine: Biomech - Devin Townsend
3. Alien - Strapping Young Lad
4. City - Strapping Young Lad
5. Accelerated Evolution - Devin Townsend
6. Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing - Strapping Young Lad
7. Terria - Devin Townsend
8. Cooked on Phonics - Punky Brüster
9. Ass-Sordid Demos (1990-1996) - Devin Townsend
10. The New Black - Strapping Young Lad
11. Infinity - Devin Townsend
12. Physicist - Devin Townsend
13. SYL - Strapping Young Lad
14. Ziltoid the Omniscient - Devin Townsend
15. The Hummer - Devin Townsend
16. Ass-Sordid Demos II - Devin Townsend
17. Devlab - Devin Townsend

Sorry to double post, but I was reading this thread just now and came across this:

City, Ocean Machine, Alien and Synchestra. I think those are a family.

What a lovely surprise for Prexy!

1. Synchestra - Devin Townsend Band
2. Ocean Machine: Biomech - Devin Townsend
3. Alien - Strapping Young Lad
4. City - Strapping Young Lad

Clearly, I am the best. It is evident.

Curse you.

Yes, I realise there is a problem with my list now. It actually goes a little more like this I think...

1. Infinity
2. Ocean Machine
3. Accerlerated Evolution
4. Synchestra
5. Terria
6. Physicist
7. Ziltoid

Just not feelin' Ziltoid yet. I doreally like a few bits of it, but as a whole, it just doesn't get mah groove on.

Still not listened to enough SYL yet either. Shame on me.

Ummmm....ummmmm...can I say all of them? Oh, yes, I actually can, just in order:

1. Terria
2. Infinity
3. Synchestra
4. Accelerated Evolution
5. Physicist
6. Ocean Machines
7. Ziltoid (still love this album!!!)

Those were the main ones. I throw the other ones into a different category, since all of them were more experimental projects, and it's really not fair for either one to compare them to the other projects. Here's how I rank them:

1. The Hummer
2. Devlab
3. EKO (although it could be different if this was longer)

SYL Albums:

1. City
2. Alien
3. The New Black
4. SYL
5. Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing (wait a minute, this album is awesome too...)

As for the AssSordid albums, they're both pretty awesome, as is Punky Bruster, but I just didn't feel that any of them really fit in with the rest of them.

is it me, or are there not too many fans of Accelerated Evolution?

Umm i might just do a top five, totally spontaneous:

1. Accelerated Evolution - DTB
2. Alien - SYL
3. Terria - DT
4. Synchestra - DTB
5. Ziltoid - DT
ah i'll make it 6..
6. Ocean Machine - DT
