You dig it? Up to his usual standards, I think. Great stuff.
I love it. Problem is, I don't understand why this guy does any projects; they all sound too similar. I mean, outside of Vengeance and Bodine, and his one-time solo album, everything has pretty much sounded like Ayreon.
Well Ayreon is a concept band wich follows a certain story (minus actual fantasy), the story kinda finished with the last one so it wouldnt made sense to call this band Ayreon, plus most Ayreon fans are used to hear a lot of different "big" name vocalist on the albums, so i could only imagine the kind of backslah Arjen would get if he treated this album as the next proper Ayreon, silly i know but the same thing happened with stream of passion i believe if he would call that band Ayreon everyone would be like "OMG worst Ayreon ever!", in the end the smart thing to do is to give the bands different names.
Oh and i dont agree completely about the bands sounding too similar, take Star One for example, the band was made with vocalist and musicians that all had worked in Ayreon before and it sounds nothing like Ayreon, sure the similarities are here and there but the mood is completely different.
Sure, there are differences, but I still think they all share very similar sounds and styles which scream "ARJEN!"
