"Casualties of Cool is difficult to describe because it sounds unlike any other record I've ever heard. No, this is not Ki 2. Devin's description of the album as resembling "haunted Johnny Cash songs" is about as good a summation as can be. Even conceptually it is remarkably unique: it uses the country genre to tell the story of someone without a country-- someone who travels through time and space. Suffice it to say, this a record which you should hear as soon as you possibly can. It is a strong contender for album of the year, and further establishes Devin Townsend as one of today's most accomplished, and ingenious, musicians".
