Several reviewers call Townsend a genius and note the music often rewards repeated listens.

For:Fans of progressive and avant‑garde metal; listeners who enjoy experimental, orchestral-leaning rock.

Accelerated Evolution is perhaps one of the most complex and difficult to assimilate works in his discography and requires several listens to be fully appreciated or understood.

Devin is quite a character: with very long hair but bald on top, not exactly a flower in terms of looks, but a genius who, in my opinion, shines much more in his solo works.

I believe it is impossible not to define Devin Townsend, former colleague of Uncle Steve Vai, as a genius.
