Solid review as usual e, pos'd. Their music is too generic and cheesy for my taste but the opener on Star One Space Metal is a killer tune. A man like you, I think you're a great fan of metal, in general, is normal to consider the music of Arjen, also in general, a bit too generic and cheesy for your taste. So, as you mentioned, of all his projects, Star One is surelly the one that can suit to you much well.
Cheers, buddy. Thanks for the pos and support. But it's a good kind of cheese. I don't think Ayreon are generic.
I confess they tend to be repetitive with themselves musically, but there are always great melodies to be found. Cool Neal Morse appears on this one. And I didn't know Arjen was a multi-instrumentalist. According to the picture I've seen of him, he was always holding an electric guitar. Great review, mate. Album Rating: 3. Nice job as usual. It's true that Arjen is essentially a guitarist and usually he always appears as that. He began as a guitarist and in the live sets I think he only plays guitar.
Maybe he has never been one of the best but he always was very good and competent in that role. Still, in studio he plays several instruments, such as bass and several keyboards like synthesizers, hammond organ and mellotron.
He even plays other instruments like mandolin. For what I can remember, I never saw any bassist playing with him. I think he always do that role too, alone. But, in many times, he invites several keyboardists to paricipate in several solos much complicated on his albums, as you know.
And even sometimes, we also invites some very well known guitarists to do some solos too. May be you don't know but he has an excellent studio at his home where he records almost all the parts of his albums.
Usually he even receive all the artists invited by him in his studio and records almost all the things on it, like the voices. The only parts that were never recorded in his studio are the drum work. In this case he goes to an exterior studio with the drummer, usually Ed Warby he loves the guy , to record those parts. I think he even mix many parts of the recording sessions in his studio by himself.
So, as you can see the guy is almost a complete artist. He can manage almost all alone. Besides that, and perhaps because of that too, he is so respected in the prog world and he is abble to manage working with him such great and so many gifted prog artists, some of them are simply the best and most known in the world of prog, as you know.
This is really an amazing thing. By the other hand the guy is incredible as a person. Arjen in two or three days answered him thanking and talking with him about what my son thinked about his work.
Ok, tell me something latter, your feelings about the album. Cheers and thanks, bro. About the artist, if you want you can read all I wrote about him in my comment to Jethro. About the music, the music of him can be characterized as melodic prog metal with many other influences, essentially the symphonic prog and the prog folk.
The guy is really a truly prog artist. He had the courage to bring to us the operas rock again. He is involved in several projects of which Ayreon is the best and most emblematic. Ayreon's albums are prog rock operas with several singers in the several roles of the story. Usually almost all of them are very well know in the world of prog.
He always has, colaborating with him, several prog very well known musicians and some artists from the classical or erudit music, as you whish. If you're intersted to begin listening to something from him, probably this album is the best thing to start, since you aren't properly a great fan of prog metal. This is, perhaps, the most simple and melodic work. You can read my review about "Into The Electric Castle" already made by me, if you want. The songs here are for the most part Pink Floydish, spacey and atmospheric, but we still recognize Arjen's song writing style in his arrangements, event if there is no trace of metal.
I will have to listen to it again before rating it, but it might be a 3. Thanks for the informations about Arjen. I didn't know Arjen was generous of his time with his fans. Your son got a nice experience with him, I see.

As the story unfolds, we discover that the Colonist once was the minstrel Ayreon and that, in another even earlier incarnation, he was present during the construction of Stonehenge. He wants to go all the way back to the time just before the universe was created, a time when there was nothing but chaos. The Colonist witnesses the big bang and the creation of the first soul: The Universal Migrator. This soul divides itself into various new souls that each go in search of planets to inhabit.
This is how they bring life to various planets and start different civilizations. In the Dream Sequencer program the Colonist follows the soul that is headed for Earth.
