The exact order one would suggest I buy The Devin Townsend Band's shit, minus the crap. Confusing? Perhaps... Just be blunt, I'll need this for future reference. Thanks.

Listen to the samples on his site, and make your own damn mind up. It never really matters as much as people pretend. 'Sides, that'll only turn this into 'my fave devin album'...

There is no crap. Go in order of release or just pick up anything.

Lousy comp. Can't sample music anymore.

I'm ASKing for some help on the subject, not for a scolding. Besides, I don't care about favorites, just a good order to get his stuff, minus the weak if there are any. Please.

I think on average, after Faith No More, about 30% of Patton's output is worthwhile.

Exactly. The only Patton releases I would consider awesome are Angel Dust, California, and Irony is a Dead Scene, everything else is interesting but not much else. On the other hand everything Devin has released except Physicist and SYL has been really, really, really good.

Out of curiosity, what would the avantegarde specialist rate the rest as?

Assuming this is me,

Physicist - 75
Infinity - 90
Accelerated Evolution - 75

Haven't heard the others. Infinity is by far his best, I like it more each time I listen.

OM 80/100
I 85/100

For me

Ocean machine = 95
terria = 100
synchestra = 99
infinity = 99
accelerated evolution = 90
physicist = 70
devlab = 80
