On a different, and possibly whiskey related, note, is that a 7-string ESP V? It's hard to tell. If so, why the fuck haven't we seen more of that shit? And if not... why the fuck haven't we seen a 7-string ESP V?
I don't really like Strapping Young Lad, but this is one song by them that I do like (and I do like a lot of Devin Townshend's solo stuff). I hate it when people put down the music I like as being "just noise," but I seriously thought that SYL's album "Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing" was just noise. I loved Ziltoid and Terria though.

I have heard a few songs off City. It is definitely a lot more listenable than their first album, which is mostly just a big jumble of noise where nothing is really clear or distinguishable most of the time.
I think that what I've heard off City, The New Black, and Alien are very very different from HAARHT, which I really didn't like. However, while there are songs on those albums that I like or think are decent, I've never cared for it enough to actually buy an album. :shrug:
Gotta agree with Drew and Markus here, though there's plenty of good tracks on the latter albums, the first two, more industrial tinged albums are the best. There were parts that were just plain painful to listen to, and that was the point IMHO. :agreed:
I will say that Love? is one of my favorite SYL tracks, but again that's because it sounds less like SYL than the earlier stuff. As he went on, SYL began to sound more like his solo material and vice versa, and by now there's really very little fundamental difference between the two, I guess.
The jarring, grating sound of the first couple discs, to say nothing of the oddball humor, was sort of the whole point.
