Powernerd (Vinyl) - By: Devin Townsend - Model Number: 19802813951

Description

Devin Townsend™s career is one of many distinct eras. He™s been the leader of Strapping Young Lad, the lynchpin of the Devin Townsend Project and the co-architect of country duo Casualties of Cool, all while maintaining his prolific and lauded solo project.

Now, the polymath™s newest era starts with PowerNerd: a succinct but still progressive record that pulls from its mastermind™s childhood love of vintage rock.

From the moment the title track ignites the record with a roar of PowerNerd!�, Devin™s 28th studio project is a gallop of melody, noise and emotion.

The opener and Knuckledragger� are all-out, high-speed rampages, their impact intensified by their central figure™s signature ˜wall of sound™ production style. However, that aggression is far from the only thing to come from Powernerd™s 11 episodic tracks.

Dreams of Light�, by comparison, is an evocative and dynamic four-minute ballad. Younger Lover� calms down from an explosive opening to lush verses of synths and singing, whereas Falling Apart� and Jainism� add texture after texture on top of dulcet, acoustic introductions.

With each song also having an irresistible hook at its heart, Devin has undeniably crafted a soulful instant classic of a rock record.
