What do you guys think of Daniele Liverani's rock opera project? I only have the first release, but I just read he's doing a third. How was the second release? Personally I like the first one, but that narrator sucked it hard. So, it's a slight hit for me because I did enjoy the songs themselves, but they didn't blow me away. And, also, naming the main character "Genius" is just the opposite. http://www.geniusrockopera.com |

I think with most people its a miss verse a hit. I like it, has a couple of gems, but overall I don't listen to it that much. Just not strong enough songs, but enjoyable every now and then. |

Miss for me. Both albums sound the same and they totally put me to sleep.And the fact that they are 80 minutes long doesn't help.The score of 65 that i gave them is only because of the great perfomance by most of the guests, although it seems a bit high now.And the story is extremely lame. |

Big miss from me. Holy crap what were they thinking? I like one song off of Episode II, the rest is pretty crappy. |

Total hit for me. Is the third installment out yet? So far it's had energy of a type which I can't describe, and that I normally don't feel from heavy/power metal.. |

It's a hit/miss for me. Hit because of the progressive elements, there are a lot of memorable moments, and I don't think I ever could fall asleep listening to it. It also has some great guestperformances. Miss because of the lyrics, they are in lack of a better word retarded. And the narration doesn't exactly help. If someone else had been in charge of writing the lyrics, I would give both albums around 90/100. |

No, he's working on the third one now. So, is that same narrator on the second disc? That dude sounds like a gay James Earl Jones. |

I just got ahold of Episode II and will review it soon. I enjoyed the first one but agreed...the narration sucks hard. I haven't listened to Episode II yet so no judgement call just yet. Look for the review in the next couple of weeks |

Excellent. Look forward to it. I want the CD, but I'm not paying full price. I'll have to just wait until I stumble across it. |

I totally forgot that he did that one.....Oh well it's not as though I don't have enough others to review!! I'm going to listen to it in the next few days and I might add my score.......Thanks for the heads up....I would've wasted valuable time writing a review for something that's already been reviewed....... |
