50. Strapping Young Lad / Alien. 2005. 2/5

I do get the feeling this is a little too extreme for my tastes.
I was recommended this artist and album by Holzy, who insisted that “Devin Townsend is a freak!”. In that comment, he is completely correct. Though I have some extreme metal in my collection, it still didn't prepare me for this album.

This is the only album I have of Strapping Young Lad, and I have actually only had it for about six weeks. It has therefore had little listening to discern my actual taste for it.

On tonight's listening, I can say this. I can see merit in it. It may also not be to my taste. At present, I am 50/50 as to whether I like it or not.

Rating : As the above says, I'm not sure. 2/5.
