INTO THE ELECTRIC CASTLE

Firt, I'm not a progmetal fan but this album is really good. A modern rock opera, with great muscians (Fish, Nolan, Van Leer, Scherpenzeel, Van GIerbergen) and an equilibrated mixture of metal, prog, psychedelic and space rock with great keyboards performances. Ok, the album is very pretencious and some times sounds like "JC Superstar" but I heard a few good songs like "Isis & Osiris", "The Garden of Emotions" and "Cosmic Fusion". However is definitively the best work of Arjen Lucassen. Just good stuff.
