Review# 131ZTO is a concept album of awesome proportions. In short it tells the tale of the alien Ziltoid (The Omniscient) on his hunt for the ultimate cup of coffee and his rivalry with Captain Spectacular the man who steps up to defend earth from Ziltoid after he decides to blow it up after being served a fetid cup of coffee.
While it may not have been as well received by the media in comparison to previous efforts the fans have rallied behind it with almost cult appreciation. So I makes me a little sad that Devin is currently auctioning off old equipment and album progress charts to make some cash to do a Ziltoid II - but then again the fans are helping hugely there too. This is a super fun album, Devin performs as all characters and interweaves them all into songs. All the while the musicianship is still well up to scratch and works well with the speaking parts. It's almost like listening to a musical. You really need to listen to the whole album to get the full story but here are some highlights.
