    New album is quite different, but that's why I like Delphic. [2]

    Your opinion Punk-Fiction, doesn't render a perfectly sound album "incompetent". You're in good company if you don't like Collections as much, many people don't, and it's quite apparent. Saying that it's insulting to the band's previous works is asinine however, and you're personally not in a position to make such a judgement. Hell, I don't like Collections as much as Acolyte, but Delphic is entitled to their own artistic pursuits, which they exercised in making a different sort of album. It's fair to say that you dislike it, but it's not fair to make objective and overly-harsh statements. Music is rarely objective.

    Their perfomance in Astrakhan was stunning thanks a lot <3 P.S. "Atlas" is especially cool *_*

    Just because Collections sounds different from Acolyte doesn't grant it instant competency, it's ridiculously boring and an insult to the talent they've displayed in the past.

    Devin Townsend's new album includes and features pop influences and styles. Pop has it's place in modern music, and always will. People bitching about Collections just don't care for pop music, which is fine. But it's inherently no better or worse then Acolyte. YOU just don't like it as much.

    Seems there is always going to be dissension about any sort of departure from any bands perceived norm. I like a mix and change in routine. It is refreshing and like others have mentioned when I need my Acolyte fix I simply put it in queue and enjoy :)

    lol @ all the folk bitching about Collections. It doesn't sound anything like NSYNC (seriously, are you people deaf?). If you want Acolyte, go and listen to Acolyte. Don't chastise a band for trying something different.

    It's not so much the individual songs I have a problem with on Collections, but rather the direction in sound that the band opted for. Mixing Passion Pit (good) with Nsync (very bad) was a bad decision, and pretty much alienated their fanbase while failing to grab a substantial new one in the process. I wouldn't be surprised if they split up soon, which is a shame really because Acolyte will always be a classic in my eyes.

    I like "Collections" and yes I've probably read 3759333053 comments complaining how the album is nothing like "Acolyte". I guess they wanted to try something different, I've seen a lot of artists who have new albums that sound pretty poppy, but I think it's great how they can be versatile and change their sound, it makes them not static at all.. Plus if you like their old stuff, you should just listen to their old stuff.. no harm in that, is there? lol
