Most original prog-metal I've heard in awhile Submitted on: 2006-08-05 |

| Although some might find the concept matter a little kitschy, the music underpinning it is fascinating. I would even compare moments on it to Dream Theater's "Scenes from a Memory" in terms of being a better-executed musical composition. The keyboard layering manages not to detract from the guitar, which is a criticism I sometimes find relevant to a lot of bands in a similar vein; I think it really deserves it's categorization as "orchestral." The singers' variety also fills out the music nicely, with guests from Tiamat, Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden and others adding different vocal textures. Post-apocalyptic mergers of humanity with computers may be an oft-used motif in metal concept albums, but Ayreon manages to make it enthralling. If you can sit down and listen to it all the way through (though I usually replay "My House on Mars" and "Chaos" several times), it's a new and rewarding experience. |

Dark side of the Mars + Orchestral metal goes to space Submitted on: 2006-01-11 |

On the recommendation of a fellow metal-lover, i picked this up, and i am speechless.
The first disc is the progressive rock side, and its flowing, spacey tunes coupled with the equally cosmic theme gives off the distinctive air of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. While i love Pink Floyd and was amazed by disc one, i was itching to get to disc 2, which, in all honesty, was a tad weaker.
Despite this, disc 2 was still captivating, starting off strong, continuting a general metal feel in the middle, though nothing my jaded ears hadn't herd before. But If one is truly absorbed by the music at this point, the 50 seconds before the booming finale are legitimately terrifying. I don't wish to spoil it, but suffice to say that little in the world is scarier than a digitized voice breaking one's calm, announcing one's quickly oncoming demise.
Overall, this album is a powerful, moving experience. |
