Yeah, this guy mentioned it in the other thread; here's the link to the Youtube page it's on...

Now, since no one else has mentioned it yet, let me be the first to say - Pandemic SLAYS. Dirk is bestial; as if we didn't know that already...

Pandemic slays indeed. God damn intense. I hope Devin's melody on the keys is making an appearance. Maybe the album intro has Devin tickling the ivories?

This will destroy. Deconstruction is the kind of album I wish more artists would attempt - not just an unrelated collection of songs, but a unified, monolithic, vastly complicated and crushingly intense musical statement, featuring plenty of wierdness, beauty and complexity too. Of course, I haven't heard the album yet, so attempting to judge it is probably foolish, but what the hell. I await this album more than any other this year.

It is much more interesting to my ears when an album is designed with structural similarities more common to novels and movies than conventional albums. I'm not talking about cheesy concept albums with obtrusive and cringeworthy attempts at voice-over narrative (Ziltoid obviously not in this category by the way ) but rather which have an overall trajectory through which the idea of the album unfolds, and can be listened to from start to finish as a glorious audio movie. It sounds like Deconstruction could be the best example of such an album yet to be recorded.

Glad to see I'm not the only one! Dev mentioned there was a song on Deconstruction 'similar to Shitstorm in it's ferocity, but different in it's intent' and I think it's Pandemic, from the sound of it... wonder what the song's about?

Seeing as we haven't heard anything from Praise the Lowered, yet (assuming it's still on the album) I'm hoping it'll be a fitting opening track, to a record as monolithic as Decon is shaping up to be. City had Velvet Kevorkian, SYL had Dire, and Alien had Imperial; hopefully, PtL be a worthy successor to those three. I'm willing to bet it'll start off with something soft/goofy sounding, then just erupt into sonic insanity seconds later. Or maybe it'll just waste no time and just start disintegrating our eardrums right from the start. Or maybe the album will start with Stand, and PtL won't even make an appearance... however it turns out, Decon'll have me floored within seconds of hitting play, I'm sure.

This. I love concept albums in general, if only because I like it when my music has more food for thought to offer/runs deeper conceptually than the first few listens reveal. Anything, really, that makes me ponder/wonder/think in any way shape or form about what I just heard (in a good way!) is usually what I tend to look for, aside from just liking the music itself. Records with a 'conceptual thread' running throughout them, like Porcupine Tree's In Absentia, Meshuggah's Catch 33, The Mars Volta's Frances the Mute/Amputechture, etc, all appeal to me more than just a 'traditional' rock album does, where there's a collection of songs with no unified narrative or theme running throughout the tracks. I'm not saying every song has to refer to or 'fit in' with the others, in any way, but I like it when I hear something like Opeth's Hessian Peel, and know it fits into a larger 'audio movie' or picture, as you said.

I've seen a lot of talk about being able to hear Joe from Gojira in Sumeria. I've watched the update about 10 times now and I can't hear him at all Where exactly are his vocals in the preview?? Thanks

4:03 - 4:08 in Deconstrupdate 2, you can hear him very briefly. It's just before Sumeria transitions into Poltergeist.

Hope that helps!

Part of what he plays there is what we hear the orchestra playing at the end of the 2nd update vid (for Mighty Masturbator).

Hmmmm I listened again, but I thought that was some male choir?? I'll just have to hear the song in its entirety to know for sure! Thank you for the help

Yeah that's definitely the male choir, not Joe Duplantier. I recall a youtube post where someone thought they heard Mikael in that exact same spot...lol. The only guest I can make out for sure is Tommy Rogers during the Planet of the Apes I bit.

Uh... you sure man? I'm not the biggest Gojira fan; but I thought for sure I was hearing some 'Vacuity'-styled stuff from him in the last bit from Sumeria... now I don't know. Ah, well, we'll know for sure come June, I guess. Speaking of guests you can/can't hear, you can actually make out Mikael Akerfedt pretty clearly at the beginning of Stand, right before the vocals come in. He's coming off a scream, from the sound of it.

I'm quite sure i can hear Akerfeldt doing one single growl at exactly 5:49 ("Stand"). He is part of some "choir", too, but his typical low and voluminous growl stands out a bit.

Since we're doing all that jazz with references to his previous work, the first song being played is Numbered transposed up a few semitones

I'm wondering what the album art is going to be like.
I asked Dev about it a little over a few weeks ago on Twitter, and he told me that he would possibly get it in a week and a half.
I wonder if he got the art yet or not, really looking forward to seeing it since I'm a sucker for album art.
