You have a very strange manner of criticizing things you don't like. What isn't "genuine" about following your muse?

No need for insults now. Keep it friendly, guys, keep it friendly! :laughing:

Yes, yes, because having a wide variety of influences automatically means that you are executing them in a genuine manner.

I mean at this point, Dev might as well be in a tribute band. He might even learn the charm in playing interesting music if he picks a good group.

When I say that it's not genuine, it means that it sucks and has no soul.

And ja, my world music influences do tend to be filtered through a westernized lens and I'm always working away from that very easy cliche to participate in and towards something more original. Thing is, I pick decent genres to build off of instead of **** like new age and glam metal.

When it sounds like it was made from a computer algorithm of basic musical modes, yes I can.

Tell.

Devin Townsend = Dave Grohl = Uwe Boll = Hitler and that's just simple math, folks. You're on the wrong side of history and science on this one.

Largely nay because most of it isn't actually alternative, it's just regular ole radio rock that likes to touch itself.

Given how many anti-SJW rants you've laid down on this board, I figured that you'd be against watered-down diversity but if you think that's a selling point, I won't argue against it.

I don't even want to know what his personality is like. The kind of person who thinks it's fine to do what he does is not somebody I need in my life.

LOL

You've made 24% of the total posts in this thread (44, far and away the most - 16 more than second place)

Since you basically said it all in your first post (#4), the next 43 are just you trying to remind everyone else that your opinion is superior and if you dislike something it obviously must suck, and that anyone who disagrees with you are simply wrong.

LOL

Top notch detective work mate wow am I a fool. I'm gonna step back and reconsider my life.

Okay after careful reconsideration I've come to the conclusion that Townsend still makes garbage music and that people who enjoy his work approach music in a way that I find gross and, by extension, inferior. Thank you for inspiring this period of reflection, Chules.

0% interest if you buy now.

More like 100% better than all of y'all.

Lets keep this rolling, I'm bored.

I'll give two of those a chance, but ambient is lost on me, so I'm skipping The Hummer. I just have to realize that me and ambient is not happening.
