... And is Arjen Anthony Lucassen! With "The Human Equation", he has added his creation another wonderful part. On this double album every rock / prog / metal fan comes fully at its expense. An alternation wealth must to offer little more to this album alone can be measured with Lucassen About album "Into The Electric Castle" and if it can not win against this divine gift already, so it runs but after several passes, you already enjoy "The Human Equation" should make it to the listener fully opens up, clearly out to a draw. Whether romantic dreamy, anthemic, folky, full to the Twelve, or guitar and Keyboardfrickelei here everything is offered in (almost) every song, which Ayreon has ever been identified. Almost needless to say, that the singers top notch are: Dream Theater-Goldkehlchen James LaBrie, Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth (the rauslässt also like the Death Metal-Sau), my personal favorite, Eric Clayton of Saviour Machine, the me mighty with his , voice opera-esque repeatedly missed goosebumps, the beautiful voices of the Holden Women's Heather Findlay, Irene Jansen (known by Lucassen Star One tour and DVD) and Marcela Bovio rediscovery of the Mexican band Elfonia that you probably should strongly keep in mind. In addition, Magnus Ekwall of The Quill (the only power metal singers on the album), Mike Baker of Shadow Gallery (in the divine-folky-proggigen with an ingenious Hammond solo by Uriah Heep's Ken Hensley refined "Loser") and of course Arjen Lucassen , About the vocal qualities of Devin Townsend and Devon Graves still lose words will save me here - Gods on a Gods album. The bonus DVD is also not to be despised. First, there's with "Inside" a more than informative and funny Making Of where Lucassen himself the songwriting process describes and his musicians imagines, in "Concept" he explains (surprise) the concept of "The Human Equation", can in "Ayreon" it happens again his musiklaischen career and the history Ayreons Revue and the drummer Ed Warby provides his drum kit before. In addition, there's even a video of Day Eleven: Love, which did not make me so confident and the teaser trailer for the new album. All in all an album / Package (the Limited Deluxe Edition is just awesome), which is its price more than fair. Buy!
