Sometimes an album comes along that is so unique in every regard, that it sticks with you forever. Today, we're discussing Devin Townsend's 2007 "Ziltoid the Omniscient," a rock opera starring a 4th dimensional alien puppet, fetid coffee, planet smashers, omnidimensional creators, and existential crises. Hope you enjoy the ride.
