I have the album, but have not heard it in years.

Nobody's heard it?  

It's one of those albums that whenever I put it on still sounds fresh.  All the songs are different but still have the unmistakable "Devin" sound to 'em.  I remember the first time I heard Devin was on Steve Vai's Sex & Religion album and I hated them.  Then he did a few songs for a Priest Tribute and nailed the songs.  That really got me curious about more from him and I can't remember if I bought this blindly or if I heard a song on a Knuckletracks CD but it was immediate.  I was floored on the first listen.  To me, this is his pinnacle.  His other solo stuff is excellent too but this one is easily my favorite.  And Strapping Young Lad is cool too but almost too much for me.

Well, "have not heard it in years".... you fail too.  Sorry.   

it is not an album that grabbed me, so you failed in your selection. Sorry!  

[Klschmann]

Probably my favorite Devin album, I agree that it still sounds fresh.  Good stuff.

[Venom]

in fact, I don;t even have it on my 160 gig iPod.
