Well the album was hyped a bit before its release. I bought it on May 23, as it was availalble in stores here already. Before that I had the single which I bought at the pre-listening party on April 18. So I had heard part of the album. Back th |

I gotta get this. It's the only Ayreon CD I don't have By the way has anyone heard Once and Future King? It's a Rock Opera like Ayreon does and A.A. Lucassen guests as guitar on it. |

As usual with Ayreon's conceptual albums, there are great vocals (Labrie is not the most astounding here). The addition of flute and acoustic guitar is a good idea, as you have not many metal-prog that do so, and makes Ayreon closer to traditional prog-roc ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

The only voice that does annoy me a bit is Eric Clayton's. It sounds so over expressive. Like it's fake. And his accent annoys me. I think he should leave this kind of singing up to David Bowie.  ------------- Download 6 min.

BTW, on the second track, is the keyboard solo a sampler of PF's "On the run" ? ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

"The Human Equation" is surely one of the best albums this year. I also like the Death Metal vocals (that's probably because I like Death Metal in general  )

Bump... I just discovered this album a little while ago, and I can safely say it's the best album of 2004. It's a lot of music to take in, but the lyrics and storyline are masterfully crafted, almost every singer (even James LaBrie, who I |

I'm probably on my own, but I didn't really care about the album. I've only listened to it twice, and both times I didn't make it without the need to skip through the songs. I have most of his previous recordings, Into the electric castle being |
