Description:

Devin Townsendâ??s career is one of many distinct eras. Heâ??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 polymathâ??s newest era starts with PowerNerd: a succinct but still progressive record that pulls from its mastermindâ??s childhood love of vintage rock. From the moment the title track ignites the record with a roar of â??PowerNerd!â?, Devinâ??s 28th studio project is a gallop of melody, noise and emotion. The opener and â??Knuckledraggerâ? are all-out, high-speed rampages, their impact intensified by their central figureâ??s signature â??wall of soundâ?? production style. However, that aggression is far from the only thing to come from Powernerdâ??s 11 episodic tracks. â??Dreams of Lightâ?, by comparison, is an evocative and dynamic four-minute ballad. â??Younger Loverâ? calms down from an explosive opening to lush verses of synths and singing, whereas â??Falling Apartâ? and â??Jainismâ? 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. â??PowerNerdâ?? is available as a Limited 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook (incl. bonus tracks, Dolby Atmos & High-Resolution Stereo Mixes), Ltd 2CD Digipak in O-Card (incl. bonus tracks), Standard CD Jewelcase & as Gatefold 180g LP + LP-booklet. - BOOKLET
