Synopsis

Album Description
As with his previous "Ayreon" releases, the latest offering from the brilliant musical mind of Arjen Anthony Lucassen is both the prototype and benchmark of all modern Rock Operas. The Human Equation is the sixth studio CD from Ayreon and it is by far the most grandiose to date. It shall surely prove to be another milestone in the genre. The 2-CD set features an impressive line up of guest vocalists including: James LaBrie (Dream Theater), Mikael Akerfeld, Devin Townsend, Devon Graves (Dead Soul Tribe), Eric Clayton (Saviour Machine), Irene Jansen (Star One), Magnus Ekwall (The Quill) and Heather Findlay (Mostly Autumn). The Human Equation Special Edition double CD is packaged with a bonus DVD featuring behind the scenes footage, the story of Ayreon, the video of Day 11: Love and more.

Amazong rock opera
Rebecca | Virginia, USA | 07/07/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If I were to label this album as a "rock opera", people that will love this might flee at the idea. No no, this album is so much more. Each track follows the story of a young man in a coma following an accident - I won't go into details and spoil the story!



In any case, there are some tracks that I love, most that I like, and only two that I don't particularly care for. There at least half a dozen people singing in this album, and each one is a rather well known Dutch/European vocalist. Amazing instrumentals accompany great singing and dialogues.



I can't really describe the greatness this album holds, but I highly recommend finding samples of the songs somewhere - or just go ahead and buy it! If you like rock music and/or light metal even the slightest, I'm almost positive you'll enjoy The Human Equation. It also carries string solos, particularly violin, to die for, and Marcela Bovio, the voice of Wife, has one of the prettiest voices I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.



When you listen to this the first time, make sure you have enough time to get through the entire story...and each time you listen to it afterward, you'll pick up and hear other parts you missed the last time - an amazingly enjoyable album.
