DEVIN TOWNSEND - Genesis - Reaction / Review (Re Upload)

[@christinetrefalt]

This track grew on me. First time was confusion, then i sort of stopped listening to Devin for week then listened to this track again and was like FUUUUUCCCCKKK

[@enjoythestruggle]

Devin Townsend is truly the Monty Python of metal.

[@ChrisPage68]

He IS The Messiah!

[@southernskip]

@@ChrisPage68 Hes not the Messiah... hes just a VERY NAUGHTY BOY

[@phenoix75]

He is the dead pool of metal imo.

[@RolandDeschain1]

We're blessed to be on this planet at the same time as Devin Townsend.

[@montychristo86]

He just went FULL MEME AHEAD and still kicked ass!

[@Galactis]

KZbinr 66samus did the blast drums for this album. Amazing talent on this album.

[@docmcfly3933]

I fucking knew it! That guy does some of the fastest blasts I've ever heard.

[@joepalladino9257]

Wow another masterpiece by Devin Townsend

[@jbasti227]

Can anyone expect anything less?

[@Mithrilion]

I have had Genesis on repeat since it dropped and I am in now way even close to being done with it. the more you listen to it the more you discover and I am loving every second! CANNOT WAIT for the album!

[@jericosha2842]

Agreed. Never thought cows could sound so musically powerful.

[@ChrisPage68]

@@jericosha2842 For a vegetarian, he was quite brutal to the poor 🐮.

[@AnimetalViking]

This is one album I'm really looking forward to this year :D

[@th3n3wc4d]

I watched the video immediately once it was uploaded (woke up at an ungodly hour to do so) and it blew my fucking mind. The man is on a whole different level, this song shouldn't be able to exist in the way it does. I'm fairly certain had anyone else even attempted to do something like Genesis it would have sounded like an absolute mess, but somehow Devy took complete chaos, harnessed it and fused it together into something cohesive and amazing.

[@Atlas_Redux]

He is a musical genius, blessed with a natural voice that he, ON HIS OWN, has taken above perfection and is a fucking glorious entertainer to boot. It all comes together as possibly the greatest artist of all time.

[@mincentprice1041]

Wow! The composition and true genius. It was great to watch this with you, GC. I know you have the same appreciation for what he shares with us all

[@xYohmx]

i have to say this, i know we (the Devin Fanbase) tend to be a little bit hysterical but in all objectivity, who does this kind of music nowadays with so much craftiness, so much skilled in every bit of the process. And yeah you made a very good point, it has the power of Bohemian Rhapsody. One day people will understand how magnificient this guy is.

[@reggiebannister4098]

Ginger Wildheart

[@ChrisPage68]

Freddie Mercury would be smiling at it.

[@gunthersquirrel5685]

I've been listening to Devin for over 20 years... He just keeps getting better and better as the years progress.... A true metal prodigy.

[@Atlas_Redux]

In my 39 years of life on this planet, I finally found my favorite album, and that is Empath. It is Townsend compressed into a single album.

[@Liz-cmc313]

I get chills Everytime I hear this. It sets the tone for the album. I can't wait to hear this masterpiece. Devin = God.

[@iamgiggs1435]

Just when you thought you have heard it all.. My golly gosh is this hectically brilliantops

[@elliotfletcher8842]

Ned Flanders, is that you?!

[@wolfydafloof1720]

Yay !! I get to see it!!!! Thank you for re uploading it man

[@shadowbrisbane]

and the beauty of this is this isn't the longest song on the album. he's got track 10 on the album running about 22 minutes long broken into 6 individual but linkable parts... additionally Devy has claimed Chad Kroger will be doing vocals on track 6 on the album too... the whole thing is going to be balls out insane... This is essentially Devy's midlife crisis and it's going to be an absolute fucking sonic juggernaut to behold and I cannot wait!

[@heavymetalrybakina]

So suddenly we all like Chad, now that he's managed to schmooze Devin?

[@shadowbrisbane]

No suddenly we’re more accepting of him because he prevented Devin from going down the pathway he wound up going down with Nickelback and selling out. He told Devin he had to be true to himself and his music or his fans would recognize he wasn’t sincere in the music and hate it. Empath EXISTS because Chad told Devin to follow his heart with his music. THAT is why we’re willing to give him a chance on this record

[@heavymetalrybakina]

@@shadowbrisbane He needed CHAD to tell him the OBVIOUS. Kinda scary, right?

[@toxendon]

@@heavymetalrybakina I mean... I can understand him. He has the potential to earn some serious money by going more mainstream and he has a family. I don't think we can put ourselves in that spot and understand the pressure without being there. Also, Devin discovered that Chad never sold out. Chad is making the music he is passionate about, and it just happens to be what we perceive as watered down country rock. For Devin, it's cosmic opera ambient prog metal or whatever you want to call whatever he is doing. I wouldn't blame Devin for wanting to earn some big amounts of cash compared to all the work he puts in after all these years, but I'm glad he decided not to go down that road

[@heavymetalrybakina]

@@toxendon Devin is a very strange case. Nearly always bands that sell out create garbage, but somehow this guy makes great music even when pressured to do what he doesn't want to do. I understand that he has financial worries, but Empath was supposed to be a statement about artistic independence, not selling out. Yet, the song Genesis simply lacks the kind of emotional depth I'm used to from Townsend and I even find it commercial in some sense, because it's so cheesy and easy to listen to. Maybe the album will be great as a whole, but that one song is just timid and child-like, and not in a good way. As for Chad never selling out, couldn't agree less. He absolutely did sell out, his entire career has been about making money, which is so obvious.

[@rielnotermans]

I don't know what attrackts me more, Devins video or your smiled head nodding, not missing a single beat 🤗

[@Steelmaniak]

You're a champ for re-uploading :)

[@Joose]

Devin’s a goddamn genius. Ya gotta do “Wrong Side” by Strapping Young Lad.

[@tallicadude]

Glad you finally got this bad boy uploaded dude!

[@BrenainnJordan]

Fucking love this song the more I hear it, wild ride through Devin's mind. LET US BEGIN TO FEEL AGAIN!

[@clifftotten7609]

Right on!!! Devin is an artistic genius!!$

[@psylinx]

At first I was a little dismayed by the song, when I first heard it. This is my third time listening to it and it has grown on me. I am really intrigued about where this is all going.

[@RaineTowler]

I cant fucking wait for the album!

Yep, he went full Devy. Fucking love it.

[@StrongAsARock]

Hey there! I really enjoy your reactions! Want to suggest you to watch "Ghost Brigade - Clawmaster" since you like Insomnium and Wolfheart stuff. Unfortunately this finnish band in fact doesn't exist anymore but their 4 albums are brilliant in my opinion!

[@Holyhalohelms]

How did you have his video overlaid on yours? I did that and KZbin blocked it for audiovisual copyright so I just have the music for the album, no video

[@lordpalpatine9524]

[@kevinanderson2782]

If you don't like Devin Townsend, you don't like metal! I love all his stuff :)

[@shanecovey1901]

It's like he vomited his brain juice on a spinning fair art and seven minutes later this! The video idea encapsulates this notion for me with constant everchanging bombardment of visual representations of mood swings and style shifts and the ants walking on your brain as he incorporates several styles into cohesion with Genesis. The Freedom of an Artist to risk and create his own vision should not be lost on us. Its very Meta to react to his own creation. Fuck Yea!

[@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames]

Hey man. Great review. Check out Kabbalah and the concept of receiving love from the bestower. There's so much symbolism in this video - it's insane. If you enjoy the music, you'll definitely be intrigued to know what the visuals are saying.

He's just one special guy who knows how to play fucking awsome music full of himself, and just don't give a shit about what others thinks of it:) It's like beeing on a journy with a genious crazy guy, who also seems to be a perfectionist. Love this guy! oooouuuups. Just figuired out that I'm not subbing to your chanel:/ well... Now I am:) sorry.. Haha. Hellos from Norway coming your way right now.
