Well, whatever this album is, it's certainly not metal. Bouncing between heavy riffs, operatic sections, jazz-fusion-y keyboards, balls-out rock and, on 'Bend It Like Bender', what sounds like Whigfield necking a fistful of drugs and buying a guitar, this is anything but dull! In fact, it's borderline genius!
I find myself wondering whether Devin makes music like this because he's bipolar, or if he's bipolar as a result of having stuff like this sloshing round in his brain all the time. Whatever, given that this is easily his best album since 'City', I just hope he keeps doing what he's doing! Everyone should give this album a listen.
Have a listen to Bend It Like Bender on Last.FM
