STRAPPING YOUNG LAD - Detox (Album Track)

[MirkoFustinoni]

One of the most violent records I've ever listened to..absolute masterpiece!

[rinzler]

one appreciates the delicate undertones and craftmanship of the melody

[deceiver]

The most scary intense live band you could possibly see in 1997. Words are irrelevant to try describing the totally insane display of violence and madness Devin could throw at your miserable self back then. Also Gene, Jed and Byron were tighter than the tightest rythmic section available in the metal scene.

[CarinaPrimaBallerina]

I can relate 100% to Devin's lyrcis for this song. And the sound and chord progressions touch everything in me! ❤💔🤘🎶

[spinesplitter]

This is the masterpiece of a song that got me hooked on SYL and DTP and DTB. Devin is a musical genius 🤘💀🤘

[ranterraver]

I did, and still do, relate to this song in such an acute fashion. Has encapsulated so many experiences of mine, glad such an amazing group took the time to put the feelings into music. Everything about this song is musical perfection. Hail SYL, Hail Devin Townsend!

[padrespeaks]

still headbanging in 2020

Saw this on MuchMusic Loud back in 1997 and was absolutely blown away

[Rotten]

2024 and this kicks ass so bad my speakers went hiding.... 😳

(noise) BAM - BAMBAM - BAMBAM (riff)
Awesome <3

[ludovic]

I’ve got a feeling
With the wrong people
And I can't control my thoughts

I wish that I could sleep
And just get this over with
This is only high school bullshit

I just want to feel

I was warned
Absolutely numb
No good around people
Everyone knows and watches me

How did I get here tonight?
What am I doing here?
How did I reach this state?
How did I lose my sight?

I’m lost, I’m freaking
And everybody knows, everyone's watching

So here's all my hopes and aspirations
Nothing but puke
God, I'm so lonely


How could I be such a stupid bastard?
Ah, you dumb bugger!

I just want to feel

I was warned
Absolutely numb
No good around people
Everyone knows and watches me

[spinespltter]

This is the first SYL song that got me hooked on 'em. Been listening to them for years now.

[berner]

I discovered SYL through the Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles magazine that was sold through HMV, back in 95 when they were just starting out. Each magazine would have a free CD that had a compilation of bands on it. I really wish I had kept it.

[nazoj]

Only heard about this band like a week ago.

Way too late

[swordfan]

First Strapping song I ever heard....still makes me want to kick in the door to a room of my enemies and annihilate all occupants.

[barbariansinbattle]

Devin is a fucking genius. Super fucking Mega talented musician. Can't forget Gene, Jed and Byron as well.

[PunishTheBroken]

Total Masterpiece from an awesome band!!! \m/

[bradys]

Heard about this song on the SYL episode of the Heavy with Andrew and Don. This is a fucking masterpiece

[ThePatrickEllis]

Having only heard the original 1997 release, hearing the clarity and production in this is truly great. Can I assume this is from the enhanced release in 2007 or something?

[gearheadred]

You just have to put that fucking intro on there don't you.

[positivelastaction]

This album is like the best ride at Disneyworld, Hell.
