Making THE PUZZLE Documentary - Part 5 of 5 

We are truly blessed to live in the same timeline as Devin.

No Devin, thank YOU. It’s a strange reality that we’ve lived through and continue to live through. In some ways the shared experience of this long, drawn out event doesn’t need a commentary. We’ve all been living through it and it’s touched every single living human in the planet. There has been nothing like it in our lifetimes. But the art that this experience informs is likely to be moving, immediately accessible and a strange document of a strange time. I for one am both excited and scared to hear, see, read and experience The Puzzle. I’m hoping it will help to make sense of the chaos, but I’m scared to see how dark the journey was before emerging from the other side. As ever, I trust you as an artist. Your integrity, openness, transparency and drive make your one of the most compelling artists of our time.

I'm not looking for a 'cup of tea'. I'm looking for lessons, experiences, and perspectives that broaden my mind farther than the small bubble I would be limited to otherwise. That is why I follow your work, Devin. It's my guess, but only a guess, that that's why so many people are so open to whatever you have to say artistically.

The level introspect you exhibit in this documentary really speaks levels about your intellect. The genius that is Devin Townsend. We appreciate your being.

The beautiful Devin. Thank you

Dude,...you define the word "epic" in every damn way. The word "epic" is yours. It completely belongs to you and you have the patent on it. "Epic" is everything you do and it's impossible for you to escape it or do anything less than "epic". Even when you try to do an extremely simple, solo acoustic piece, it STILL winds up coming out "epic". "Epic" is in your brain and it's in your blood. "Epic" is literally buried deep in your DNA. You can never escape it or evade it or run from it no matter how hard you might try. "Epic" is a spectacular curse to have and I love you for it! "Epic" comes so naturally to you.....and I'm so jealous! WOW!

Very excited for Snuggles to be honest. I'm always down for a mind balm.

I re-listen to the Podcasts at night to nudge-along deep (thoughtful) sleep. That alone works wonders. In all seriousness, Snuggles take me away. You’re overdue!! 🤣 ❤️

Devin, there's nothing simple about anything you do. You are complex. That's the beauty of you and everything you do musically. We all thank YOU ❣️🤘

This positive album Devin is talking about you turn on when you're stressed or can't sleep, he already released 10 years ago, and that is Ghost.

After listening to both of them today, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. It kept me involved the entire time.

Thank you Devin. You take care too

Should either The Puzzle, Snuggles or Lightworks comes out physically... I'll make it my personal mission to purchase them & ensure you genius continues

Wow! I watched all this 5 part documentary after listening The Puzzle song and it did blow my mind! What a creative and innovative guy! 🤩

You've a seriously kickass group of superfriends, Devy. They, of course, have a seriously kickass superfriend in you. I'm so glad this is all so.

Thank you for everything you've given to me and all your followers. You have inspired me to break out of my comfort zone. As you said, success lies on the other side of the risk... which is where I exist now. So Devin, THANK YOU 😊 🙏

I must say, it's been a chore for me to wait for #5 to come out, as I've wanted to put THIS puzzle together, in five sessions at once. Now that YOUR CHAOS has infiltrated my mind, (Thank You by the way) it has disconnected the fragments in my head and allowed me to be awakened to make my own musical puzzle. It isn't pieces of a sort, but a movement of my mind that has taken a trip that I've never taken before. I think I get what you mean by "not gloss over" which is what so many of us do every day. And clearing my own pipes is definitely a breath of fresh air in my musical creativity. So I thank you sir, and see you some day.

I wish I could afford that Limited Edition box set. It looks like a one of a kind thing to experience! I'm glad Dev had the chance to develop such a free artistic manifestation to turn all that emotional rollercoaster from the pandemic into something so genuine and unique. And his intention to make it have a growth purpose at the end makes it even more valuable. Dev is so awesome...

Thank you, Devin, for your clarity and devotion to your growth. It reflects on all of us. I'm so excited to dive into the box set experience. You're a gift!

ur a beautiful being devin townsend, thank you too a lot

No no.....Thank yooooooooooou. What a brilliant man you are. Truly an inspiring individual.

Puzzle is an album you would take with you to the interstellar travel knowing that you might not make it but with hope that interplanetary species will some day find it

Huge fan of his ghost album with all those gentle ambient tracks, i really look forward to listen to this one.

The Puzzle sounds like what I’d imagine it would be like to hear a Devin album if you had Dementia

No Dev, Thank you. you have helped many of us, myself included through the chaos of the last 2 years, be it the podcasts, SYL, DTP, casualties, punky brewster and so on. even if in short duration the disconnect from this thing we have been calling reality is very needed.

Thank you too Dude! Love ya!

havent even heard the album and this has changed my life for ever

No Dev. Thank YOU. For who you are. For the art you represent. For the truth, the uncompromised vision, and your absolutely undoubtfully amazing musicianship. THANK YOU.

Thank you for sharing you and your process through your art. ❤️🙌

Love ya Dev. Thank you

Devin, you blow my mind, you are awesome! You inspire me way beyond words!

Dev, Thank you for all your hard work and all the ways you give us music that makes us stronger and better.

Thank You Dev! 💚

Your work, your thoughts, your perspective are so utterly and profoundly healing, Devin. Your music has brought me through incredibly dark places, and shown me the way that rainbows glitter in rain. Your music never patronizes me or is sugary-sweet - it's like a lamp-post in a storm urging me to keep going and reminding me you've been there too. That I'm not alone. None of us are. Thank you. Thank you so very much for everything you share, and how vulnerable you make yourself. You are a mentor.

Youre ahead of our time, period

Thank you Devin. We're all just human, and your work helps people more than you give credit for. Can't wait to see you on tour again!

Waouuu, brillant, the puzzle album, absolutly fabulous, dev i love you, my friend

We're all together, forever in this. Thank you so much Devin. I used to listen to you during your Strapping days (and Wildhearts) and I refound you a little before the pandemic officially hit the states. Your music has helped me get through some serious stuff in my head and for that I appreciate you more than I can say.

Thank you, too.

Thank you! I always loved Ghost album because it's so soothing! Snuggles is just what I need right now!

Thank YOU Devin. Seriously, I cannot properly express that emotion in writing, but THANK YOU. This and all that you have given us to experience in these very... strange times, has done so much and I cannot (and I know fans alike) thank you enough.

Thank you...

Devin!!!!! You're the best !

I don't think any of us here are truly ready for this and that makes me even more excited! Thank you, truly for everything you do and for the connection you've created with your fanbase. It feels like a huge family of nerds!

Thank you for your output, Dev!

Thank YOU!! 🙏

You are great, so much to reflect on your words, you have created a magnificent work. The new album will be something wonderful. 💘

Thank you Dev!

Thanks to you man. I always looked forward to your live stream concerts, your Twitch sessions. You helped me more than you might think Devin. I can't wait to see you live again my friend. It's my turn to say take care of yourself and Hello from Ottawa.

Snuggles... to be honest, I did not see that coming. But hey, I'm in.

Thanks Dev, can’t wait to dive into your new stuff! 🙂

i love this man

This man is a genius. we should all be more like him and get off our asses

Thanks for this vidéo Devin. 🙏✨❤️

Thank you Dev

Awesome. Whether it is my cup of tea or not. I'll get it in order to support your artistic endeavors.

Thanks Devin

In many ways I'm feeling the vibe of Deconstruction x Ghost (the first being my favorite Devy album)

I want that box set so bad. I'm incredibly excited about Puzzle/Snuggle.

Thank YOU! ;)

really looking forward to Snuggles!

Aaawww shit. I'm stoked.

Cool! Money is tight, but will try to get involved in experiencing this.

Awww that plushie looks so cuuutee!!

Thank you :')

Take care of yourself too Dev. Can't wait to listen :)

Cool! Happy Turkey Day Devy!

I CANNOT WAIT for these albums! Also, it's a shame Devin doesn't play video games, because Psychonauts 2 reminds me a lot of Devin's recent approach to confronting mental illnesses and providing life affirmation through art.

Yasssss. 🤘🏻

No, Thank YOU for everything you do.

Hey Dev, I'm really excited and curious to hear both of these records. It seems like its going to be a very unique experience. Im just curious if theres a date for when the preorders will be shipped out?

Thank you! I know I will like it and I'm sure everyone else will too. P.S. the pandemic "is"

NO, thank you for continuing to make great music.

I hope Snuggle comes out on streaming services like Apple Music with Puzzle.

THANK YOU, Devin Tounsend! With deep respect and from russia))

No, sir, Thank You!

I really love how Dave Mustaine of Megadeth had the Balls to call out the Pandemic for what it really is live on stage.

ngl, I was expecting all the "thank you's" to break into a Synchestra snippet at the end there...

I wish Devin would get the chance to score a movie like Blade Runner 2049 someday.. I'm sure he would do an absolutely brilliant job.. if that is something we would be interested in doing, of course.

💖👍

So like when dose it come out? Or is it only available as a physical copy? I’m confused I thought there was gonna be an album with a video, And the book and graphic novel were to be sold separately.

No, THANK YOU!

I had a guinea pig called Snuggles :)

You're welcome

New release date:apr 2025

Is there no growth in darkness?

This... means... it's... done? :)

My loins are greasy.

How long has it been since youtube made you switch from poopynuggeteer?

No thank you Devin

First

Meshuggah - Bleed - Tomas Haake - Wincent Drumstick I don't care about - husband and wife - every - kissing touching teasing cuddling

Hope we'll have something "to look back on" instead of an endless string of pandemic albums from now on...

the rain and reverb is so funny to me im sorry
