I'm going to comment anyway. Sounds more pop than I thought but this is good. Will be purchasing.
I can understand what you're saying. But to be honest I love Devin when hes heavy but I don't listen to him expecting it. I think his actual writing is awesome and it can make anything he does interesting.
That said, I think Epicloud sounds like it's a mix of all of the DTP albums which sounds great to me..
(I still can't get into Deconstruction, it just tires me out).
