5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable..., 20 Jul 2002
I cried when I first listened to this album. That should be all the recommendation you need.

That said, "Terria" will definitely not appeal to everyone. It's a monster - a huge, rising-and-falling wall of multilayered sound - and it's very, _very_ loud. But at the same time, it has a peculiarly fragile beauty, especially during the softer tracks like "Deep Peace" and "Nobody's Here", and an inescapable sense of scale pervades the whole album. The production is massive in scope, and some of the most polished I've heard on any album.

But what's really amazing about this work of art (for it is just that) is the man who created it. Devin Townsend is a frankly brilliant guitarist, and here his work really shines to a level far beyond his previous albums, with the trademark multi-layered guitar sections offset by some great solo work. His voice is just incredible as well - I've rarely heard such a vocal range. Drumming by Gene Hoglan of Strapping Young Lad is flawless, bass guitar (played by Craig McFarland) is wickedly deep and sexy, and the keyboard ambience finishes the whole thing off perfectly.

Overall? If you even remotely enjoy rock music and yet don't like this album, you're weird. It's a masterpiece. And given Townsend's previous achievements including S.Y.L. and Infinity, that's saying something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and thought provoking, 25 Sep 2001
It has got to be said, this man Devin is one mad genius of a musician! Terria takes a much more organic root than previous albums (Ocean Machine, Infinity, Physicist) and focuses much more on the layers of sound that Devin is so praised for.

Terria is not an album of songs, i guess the expression is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Although the record is not as heavy as its predecessors, it still maintains the Devin 'Sound' and the musicianship is outstanding (check out the drumming towards the end of the album).

Devin's voice has the same great mix of soothing smoothness, cheezy metalness and death thrashiness and is used to good effect. Standout track must be Earth Day which bangs and flows with such fluidity that it rivals the best of Devin's past work.

If you're a fan of Devin's work with Steve Vai then you'll probably appreciate this record as it has the same kind of super ego attitude (Devin describes the album as a Heavy Metal tribute to the Earth). Terria also echoes signs of all his solo work at points and is a fantastic and important addition to this mans amazing discography. You won't be dissappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishing, 10 April 2009
By Andrew Holland "The beat starts here..." (Cornwall, GB) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The biggest shame of Devin Townsend's career is that he will never recieve the full appreciation he deserves. He will forever be the unknown gem of the music world, for reasons as much down to him as anyone else.

It's a tragedy in a way, for the lack of publicity given to this fabulously talented songwriter means that thousands of people will never get to hear Terria, an absolute masterpiece that transcends the metal genre into something bigger and far deeper.

From epic eyeball-suckers like "Earth Day", to the ridiculous catchiness of "Stagnant", via the sheer incredible beauty of "Deep Peace", this album will make you want to destroy all the other albums in your collection, in sheer unabashed rage that they aren't as good as this.

Get this now. Don't even think about it. Get it, for the love of God.
