Dear god, I keep quoting bits of DM dialogue in everyday life. I'm annoying myself at this point!

Only heard one song so far and I intend to keep it that way until the vinyl arrives

... And cancelled. Amazon Germany had some left for only 43 euro's which saves me almost 30 euro's
Black vinyl which is fine for me!

I find myself referencing Poozers as of late, both in conversation and even in my workbook, while simultaneously pontificating about the power of coffee.

This is going to be happening for awhile, I think.

I have been quoting, in various ways, the War Princess' "I'm sorry, there must be some sort of misunderstanding..." line.

It makes substitute teaching in the inner city slightly less awful.

I feel so stupid for not noticing until the new V unboxing video that the Poozers are basically mutated testicals.

My digipak pre-order finally arrived, listening to Dark Matters - Raw as we speak and I'm really enjoying the different experience. The digipak is pretty fucking awesome, pictures don't quite do it justice.

I don't know where else can I let my voice by heard, maybe nowhere, but I want to thank somehow Devin for the constant quality of his works. I literally have shed some tears when Dimension Z kicked in after the narration, and knowing that I actually hear hundreds of people. So thank you.

This album has become something of a coping mechanism recently. Sky Blue, anyway. I want to smile with Dark Matters but right now I take no real pleasure in it. Maybe later down the track.

I kind of thought this was a big deal, but maybe it isn't:

Z² debuted at #73 on the US Billboard Top 200 chart. That is the highest Dev has been on the charts since Vai. There has not been one official peep out of anyone about this, though.

^No that totally is a big deal! Since Vai you say? That's actually pretty awesome.

I'm interested now… where did Epicloud and Casulties fair? How big of a jump between albums is this?

Devin has only been on the Billboard 200 a few times:

Vai: Sex & Religion #48
Strapping Young Lad: The New Black #200
DTP: Addicted #168
DTP: Deconstruction/Ghost #165
DTP: Epicloud #105

Casualties did not chart on the Billboard 200 as far as I know.

He'a appeared more than a few times on the Billboard US Heatseekers chart and US Indie chart, but the Billboard 200 chart is the US chart, and Z² debuted in the top 100 albums in the country. Crazy.

Oh yeah, and Z² is currently #5 on the US Billboard Hard Rock charts.

In comparison, it debuted at #46 on the Official UK Charts, and #7 on the UK Rock & Metal charts.

In a time when album sales are down across the board, it is amazing to see Devin doing well. Especially in the US, where he supposedly doesn't have an audience.

That is so awesome!! Thank you for pulling all the numbers!

Does me good to see that Really curious to the actual sold albums amount. On the Wikipedia page of Ki it says it sold 800 copies in the first week, but I have no idea if that is a lot or not.

That's super cool to see.
