I used to like this one the most out of their discography, but has since gone on to like City more. This simply sounds too much Devin - it sounds a lot like his albums has sounded for the last 15 years or so. City sounds more unique - there aren't any other album by Devin that sounds like it. Alien is, however, one of Devin's absolute masterpieces.

Their infinite magnum opus. This level of enormity and sheer otherworldly colossality in terms of overpowering soundscapes is absolutely cathartic. Total breakdown of existence.

Actually, this is number one SYL album for me, very variable songs with very constant quality.

Craziest fucking album ever. It's very hard to get any more extreme than this.

I'm so torn between City and Alien. I honestly don't know which is better. They're both excellent in their own right, but I don't know. I'm thinking Alien has the slightest of edges since Devin's songwriting had matured a bit since City, but I just don't know. I suppose it doesn't matter anyway.

city and alien are where it's at. i just can't get into the lyrics on alien, they seem a little cheap at times.

Como lo hizo en City, la mayoria de los temas estan conectados como si fuesen uno, y te pasea por los sentimientos mas extraños, desde el deseo, el odio, el amor y desamor, la cordura y la locura, y termina en lo mas ambiental y enfermo con Info Dump, mas de 11 minutos de ruidos, que si lo escuchan a todo volumen es posible que mas de uno vomite XD. En todo caso, el disco es violento, crudo y bien producido, Donde se demuestra el porque SYL es una de las mejores bandas en su estilo.

Este disco por lejos debe ser el mejor de Strapping Youn Lad, donde la introduccion es solo un aperitivo de la locura, crudeza y rudeza que la continua. Cabe destacar que (segun las malas lenguas) Devin Townsend, decidio suspender su tratamiento medico para controlar la bipolaridad, para asi crear un disco totalmente directo y "enfermo", y creo que lo logro. La verdad que creo que temas rapidos como Shitstorm son el porque y lo que convierten a este disco en supremo, pero tambien el poder terminar ese mismo tema de manera "lenta" y que a la vez sirva como introduccion a un tema oscuro y de amor como Love?.

I used to think City was better, but I think I love Alien equally, if not more now.

It's not better than City. But it's the closest SYL ever got to topping it. SUCH A GOOD ALBUM!
