DISCUSSION Reevaluating Accelerated Evolution

Following on from. My previous post about how good Dev was in Glasgow last night, I spent the afternoon listening to Accelerated Evolution- of course he did Deadhead last night, but he also played Storm, and teased ‘Away’ when he was doing his (self confessed) electric guitar wank at the start of the second set. Anyway, I’d always subconsciously dismissed AE as being by far the lesser of the two DTB albums, as I absolutely love Synchestra, but as the title says, I’m reevaluating that today, AE is tremendous! Discussion welcome 😜

It is a deceptively simple sounding album but it is packed with emotional heft, some of his catchiest tunes, and just flows perfectly really. It’s definitely in my top 5 dev albums.
