Ayreon - The Human Equation Music Review
Artist: Ayreon
Album: The Human Equation
Avalable now on cd.
What do you get when you mix acoustic and metal guitars, flutes, violins, synthesizers, medieval music and some of the best voices on the planet together? You get a bizarre, epic, masterpiece of an album. I dont even know how to classify this album. The album is mainly slow, atmospheric music with some progressive music sprinkled throughout. It is definitely not for everyone. I cant easily see someone just plain hating this album saying it is self indulgent, cheesy music that's not relevant to today. The album is so different thats why I absolutely love it. This is not an album that you drive around blasting, but an album to sit back, relax, close your eyes and let the vocals and music wash over you.
Ayreon is a band thats a creation by Dutch Multi-instrumentalist and composer, Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Basically he writes the music and gets guest vocalists and players to record the album.
The real draw to this album is the terrific vocals. James LaBrie (Dream Theater), Mikael Akerfeld, Devin Townsend, Devon Graves (Dead Soul Tribe), Irene Jansen (Star One), Magnus Ekwall (The Quill) , Heather Findlay (Mostly Autumn) and the one of the best vocalists on the planet Eric Clayton from Saviour Machine.
One of the best symphonic, progressive, epic rock albums ive ever heard. If you are a fan of this type of music or Kansas, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Saviour Machine, Dream Theater then this will be right up your alley. It is a 2 cd set with over 2 hrs of music.
Rating: 9.6 out of 10.
