City and its a retardedly easy choice. I think even Devin Townsend said something along the lines of maybe they should have quit before the New Black even came out. - Wed, 7 Jul 2010 8:37am

Between those two, City.
Between City and Alien, tie.
Between The New Black and SYL S/T, The New Black, except for Aftermath trumping all and being one of the top three SYL songs of all time.
Lots of variables.

Addicted is pretty wicked as is the rest of the "solo" stuff. - Wed, 7 Jul 2010 5:41pm

Interesting.

Devin is certifiably insane and says alot of things. Chicken Feather isn't that great of an album, with most songs being less good versions of Relentless and that being an only okay SYL song, but Alien and New Black are superb.

I can't tell if I like New Black better because it is, or just because I haven't listened to it millions of times, like City. - Thu, 8 Jul 2010 5:46pm

Honestly I think the feather CD destroys the New Black even though it is more of a Jed CD than a Devin one. Consequence, Devour, Aftermath, Bring on the Young and Last Minute are all great songs in my books (I even like Rape Song a lot). The New Black has The New Black, Almost Again, Far Beyond Metal, You Suck and Wrong Side but also has Antiproduct, Fucker, Decimator and Monument which I think are some of the weakest songs SYL has ever created.

City does not have a single weak track. The first time I heard Oh My Fucking God I thought it was the most crushing thing I've ever heard in my life... - Sun, 11 Jul 2010 4:53pm

City is fucking amazing. All Hail the New Flesh? Fuck yes.

Weird, I like Antiproduct. Hevy Devy Big band :)

City, New black, NSTH/HAARHT, Alien, Chicken Feather.

If I'm counting Physicist as a SYL record (and why not), then I'd stick it somewhere around No Sleep/Heavy as a Really Heavy thing. It's really good, but.... somehow lacking. - Sun, 11 Jul 2010 9:00pm
