It's weird to think that I didn't really like this album at first. I thought it had some really cool parts, but nothing stood out to me. Lately, that opinion has been rapidly changing each time I listen to the album. It has a richness that is unmatched by anything else Devin has released prior, and will hence be tough to beat. The lush atmosphere of the album that began with "Coast" is really brought to the forefront with the dreamy "Terminal". While the album is mostly a laid-back ambient ride, at some parts it changes direction and brings out some of the first bluesy-work that Devin has ever released (see "Trainfire"). And despite the album being primarily acoustic, you still get Devin's powerful voice going as wild as ever on tracks like "Heaven Send". "Ki" is a beautiful starting point for the Devin Townsend Project tetralogy.
Last Word: If you're a fan of Devin and at first you don't like it, wait a few days and try again. It's hard to remember what it was I didn't like about this album at first- it probably just wasn't what I expected.
