Not really into extreme progressive power metal esque stuff but this album has some great talent, near the top of the Dutch charts at the moment I believe.
Described as an "Epic Rock Opera" it features talent from Lori Linstruth (Stream Of Passion), Michael Romeo (Symphony X), Jonas Renkse (Katatonia), Simone Simons (Epica), Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian) and many others, needless to say, all big names in the metal world here, and he's worked with Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth and Devin Townsend in the past. It deals with quite a few large concepts and lyrically asks many questions, mainly on the rise and future of the human race, its a bit geeky but then I realise a few people here will probably like that edge to it as its a bit unusual and different, nice and catchy though, and two discs of interesting concept to boot. Anyway, myspace is here! and theres only a few short clips but for fans of epic music, this is probably a must -------------------- Don't Panic.

I'm sorry to say that I don't like this. Mostly because of the singing style of most of the singers. And there was way to little Renkse for my taste aswell

Seems like a lot of people hated this album. I was on MA couple of weeks back and theres like a 7 page post about this and most of it is stabbing the band.
