comment |
Ziltoid the Omniscient is the tenth studio album by Devin Townsend.The album is a concept album about an extraterrestrial being named Ziltoid from the planet Ziltoidia 9. Ziltoid travels to Earth in search of "your universe's ultimate cup of coffee". Townsend describes the album as a mix between Strapping Young Lad and The Devin Townsend Band, with a storyline like that of Punky Brüster's Cooked on Phonics. This album is also what made Devin decide to continue his career as a musician since, prior to this, he was going to leave music and become a puppeteer.Received a sequel album, Dark Matters, in 2014. |

Random Events Plot |
| | Ziltoid the Omniscient (Music) / int_a07afea2 |
comment |
Random Events Plot: The first half of the album tells a somewhat coherent story: Ziltoid demands coffee, only to be dissatisfied with the cup he's given and destroying the Earth, then fleeing while Captain Spectacular pursues him. After "Hyperdrive", the plot starts to make less sense, with Ziltoid just encountering alien after alien with little connection between them. Justified when it's revealed that Ziltoid's adventures are All Just a Dream. |
