Am I weird for only liking Strapping Young Lad?
Strapping Young Lad was my introduction to Devin Townsend. The first song I heard was All Hail the New Flesh and I was blown away. It was so unbelievably heavy but also quite melodic and just all around completely different from any other metal band I had ever heard. City and Alien are still industrial metal masterpieces as far as I'm concerned.
From there I went into Townsend's solo stuff and quite frankly didn't enjoy it all. It's just so damn cheesy. It's like metal for dorky theater kids or something. The talent of Townsend's musical abilities are still there but musically speaking it's just not my thing at all.
Anyone else feel the same?
