''Ki'' is the eleventh album by Music/DevinTownsend, released on May 25, 2009, as the first installment of his Devin Townsend Project album series launched after disbanding his extreme metal band Strapping Young Lad. This album series was made in his period of self-discovery of learning how to write music without drugs, as giving them up was a factor in disbanding SYL and his side-project The Devin Townsend Band. As a result, the music on this album is decidedly more reserved and leaning mainly towards ProgressiveRock with only a handful of tracks featuring distorted guitar. Many of the songs deal with restraint and self-control.

* EpicRocking: Many tracks surpass or go near the six-minute mark.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: Most of the songs flow seamlessly, with the most notable transition being from "Ain't Never Gonna Win" to "Winter".
* {{Instrumentals}}: "A Monday" and "Ain't Never Gonna Win", though the latter has some wordless scat vocals in it.
* LimitedLyricsSong: "Winter" has just a single line repeated throughout.
--> "How in the world can the winter fall apart?"
