	Amazon.com: Strapping Young Lad - SYL: Music: Strapping Young Lad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		With this disc it seems SYL is no longer trying to ratchet the extreme shrieking-heaviness factor as high as possible; they'd done that with...Really Heavy Thing and City and moved on.
		SYL is one of the best metal bands to form in the 90's, and this is their best album, after Alien and City.
		Strapping Young Lad is a monster of a metal band.

	Strapping Young Lad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strapping Young Lad's fourth album, Alien was released March 22, 2005, to a mixture of reviews, mostly favouring the progressive element Devin Townsend continues to bring to extreme metal.
		Strapping Young Lad's future is currently somewhat uncertain, as Devin has recently commented that he's tired of it all.
		SYL is one of the loudest and most intense specimens of the industrial metal genre.

	Strapping Young Lad - The New Black Review - sputnikmusic
		Strapping Young Lad’s Devin Townsend is best known as the mad scientist of metal and is also a very productive musician of several other styles of music.
		With Strapping young Lad’s 5th (and supposedly final) release, The New Black, Devin Townsend brings some of his other musical influences into the industrial/ melodic death metal act, including jazzy funk rock and dance/ techno music.
		I'd say SYL, Alien, The New Black, City, and HAARHT in that order are the best order to uy their albums in if you want to really get into them.

	Strapping Young Lad
		Strapping Young Lad ist eine Industrial/Thrash Metal-Band aus Vancouver in Kanada.
		Inzwischen ist Strapping Young Lad daher nicht mehr als reines Nebenprojekt von Townsend zu sehen, sondern als eigenständige Band mit gleichberechtigten Mitgliedern.
		Der Bandname "Strapping Young Lad" (zu deutsch etwa "strammer junger Bursche") ist eine Anspielung auf die teilweise übersteigerten Männlichkeitsbilder der Metalszene.

		Fans and pundits have been striving for descriptions and superlatives to describe Devin Townsend's Strapping Young Lad for the last eight years and all they have to show for it has been a mixed bag of word salad.
		To distinguish the layers omnipresent on SYL is beyond man. The larynx of Devin too is a machine...
		Strapping Young Lad's latest agitated sonic outrage is all about establishing the band's angry sound, emphasizing it and anchoring it among the populace.

	Strapping Young Lad: Alien - PopMatters Music Review
		Nah, with SYL, you don't wallow in your sorrow, you revel in it.
		The chaotic "Shitstorm" just might be the most ferocious song SYL has ever recorded, as Hoglan propels the entire track with his percussion work, which achieves a fl metal intensity, as Townsend drops programmed beats that explode like bombs, momentarily drowning out the rest of the mix.
		However, that's why we have stop buttons on our CD players, and for the first 42 minutes, anyway, Strapping Young Lad have raised the bar yet again, proving that no matter how hard young bands may try to crate something new and menacing, nobody does it as well as the old masters.

	purevolume™ \| Strapping Young Lad
		STRAPPING YOUNG LADs most recent offering, Alien, earned wide acclaim, from the likes of Billboard and Stuff to Decibel, Metal Edge, Outburn and Revolver, among others.
		After relentless touring, the groups biggest break came in the summer of 2005 on the inaugural Sounds of the Underground tour, as their overly intense live performances clearly set the band well ahead of the pack while captivating the uninitiated crowds who were immediately drawn to the bands trademark blend of melodic industrial thrash intensity.
		In 2006, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD boldly take the next logical step in their continuous evolution, leaving their contemporaries wondering how they could ever possibly compete.

		It means that SYL isn't your average metal band; the subject matter covers what's significant for them to vent about (family/child issues, love and relationships among others) rather than the uber-cliched themes of evil, pain/death and the like.
		Strapping Young Lad is the brainchild of the bizarre and very talented Devin Townshend, and is often described as "extreme metal", which is appropriate, although I generally hate...
		Strapping Young Lad is an odd group, to be sure, but only they could take chaotic, insane, and just plain weird extreme metal and make it so enjoyable.

	Strapping Young Lad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The chaotic mix of metal elements on "SYL" is a feast for the ears.
		But the versatility of Strapping Young Lad is perhaps best summed up in the song "Last Minute," which expresses Townsend's rage in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001.
		Dark aggressive and relentless, "SYL" is the perfect album for the post-terrorist attack world for which it was written.

	Live Review: Strapping Young Lad / Malevolence / Camel Clutch, The Starfish Room, March 15, 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Strapping Young Lad stands to prove that metal still matters, as long as you Krazy Glue your tongue firmly to your cheek: "Help Cheese Metal rule forever!" proclaims the SYL website.
		With the openers out of the way, Strapping Young Lad end up pulling off a show that you'd think would only work in a venue three times the size of the Starfish.
		The Lads employ a small yet effective light show which backlights drummer Gene Hoglan's arms-aloft cymbal washes and amplifies Devin's gargoyle-like facial mannerisms.

		Leave it to Strapping Young Lad's freakish mastermind, Devin Townsend, to create Alien, an aural onslaught of Ministry-indebted mayhem that spends a surprising amount of time on the topics of love and babies.
		But with all that, SYL still manages to hit harder than many bands who stick to the tried-and-true metal themes of hate and death.
		No, metal isn't known for its humor or romance, but Strapping Young Lad proves there's room for a little goofiness when you're this freakin' hard.

	Strapping Young Lad - Alien - review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The press release included with Strapping Young Lad's Alien boasts that the Canadian quartet have released City, part 2.
		Sure, it's a rather lofty claim, considering the previous offering from Strapping Young Lad (simply titled SYL) was met with either high praise or extreme disdain from the group's loyal following.
		It may just be too crazy for mainstream listeners, too catchy for the elitists, but Alien is perfect for Strapping Young Lad's unique fanbase, and anyone else with a thirst for well-played but emotionally driven music.

		Strapping Young Lad frontman Devin Townsendâs version of heavy metal has nothing to do with spandex and hot babes or dragons and sorcerers.
		The New Black isnât as suffocatingly intense as Strapping Young Ladâs 1997 zenith, City, and it should inspire this yearâs Ozzfest crowds to sing along.
