From Quiz The Devin Townsend Project: "Addicted!" to "Ki"

Answer: Universe In A Ball!

Yup, it's "Universe In A Ball!". This is one of the heaviest tracks on the album, a far cry from songs like "Ih-Ah!" and "The Way Home!". The album "Addicted!" was released on November 17, 2009.

25. As I mentioned before there is a 'creature' mentioned in this album called the 'Planet Smasher'. What's the Planet Smasher's name?

From Quiz Devin Townsend's 'Ziltoid The Omniscient'

Answer: Herman

His name is Herman and he apparently hates musicals. Somewhat ironic, because the entire album is done in a fashion that is similar to a musical, where characters express their feelings and thoughts through song.

The Planet Smasher denies his request and hits Ziltoid's ship with his meaty paw, causing Ziltoid to spill his coffee!

From Quiz The Devin Townsend Project: "Addicted!" to "Ki"

Like "Coast" from the "Ki" album, this video was directed by Konrad Palkiewicz. However, the album's artwork wasn't created by Palkiewicz for "Addicted!", as it was for "Ki".
