ANIMATION

This is the second best album from Jon-- the first being Olias. While the music of this is album close to pop as most of them are very catchy. No matter what many others say, they are great and the songs are outstanding. The songs are straightforward; except for in the case of the title Animation itself. The overall sound of this album is dominated by lush keyboards and distinct guitars-- although none comes up with intricate works. Then again, its an Anderson solo-- the guy who composed great songs like Wonderous Stories or Going for the one. All of the songs of this album have brilliant melodies. Trust me people, even the most weakest song in this album has got substantial melodies, and its not a let down in anyway.
