Ayreon - 01011001 (1/29/08)

I ordered the signed deluxe edition which hasn't shown up yet. It was charged to my card on 1/22, a week ago.

Just listened to this, and am really not impressed. I'm kind of getting tired of the whole bloated 2 CD mega story stuff. Plus some of the lyrics are just plain bad.
It's a shame because I love Actual Fantasy and Final Experiment, and liked almost all of Into The Electric Castle. But ever since then each subsequent release has impressed me less. Also, I thought the sound on this was not too hot at all. The snare has no bite, and things seem kind of muddy and bottom-end heavy, but with no clarity. Just my 2 cents... |
Did you give the Human Equation a chance? That is by far my favorite.
Yes the signed deluxe ran $50 shipped but I only buy a half dozen CDs a year at that so I figure why not splurge on one and give back to one artist I really enjoy. |

I did like the Stream Of passion project Arjen did. I wish he'd do more of that. |

Nope he joined them.
|
No, he created the group, particularly for that stupid Bovio because Arjen LOVED her (voice) so much.
Read between the lines, he had a love affair with her, she dumped him, he left the group, fell into depression after his wife divorced him over that Bovio thing, the new CD is a reflection of that depression. I really hated Human Equation because hardly any solos, Bovio sucks and LaBrie just annoys me. Baker is the best vocalist on the album and was used in one song? Huh? I want the new CD but wont get that over priced SE crap INCASE its another Human Equation. But since it has Floor and Romeo (2 peeps Ive hung out with and talked to alot) I really want this cd! |

So are people digging the CD? I'll get it in a few weeks but Ive heard its worse than HE. From the clips Arjen released, I dont see how.
