The growls are by Jonas, Arjen said so him self. The growls are in the final track of the album.

I personally really enjoy the lyrics to this album! It's like nothing else being done right now, other than some of the content from the latest PORCUPINE TREE album "Fear of a Blank Planet" which I also loved. Lyrically, I found it more relevant that 90% of all other lyrics out there. All in all, I enjoy this whole new AYREON album and many of my favourite moments are when Jonas sings. + The production is absolutely brilliant with lots of modern, cutting edge touches mixed in with the traditional and acoustic stuff. I personally can't say enough good things about this album! Listen for yourself and enjoy!

As long as his lyrics do not transform into something Linkin Park would throw out I'm a happy guy with it. Just have some wine to the cheese.
oh ok
it's hardly noticed...there aren't too much of them anyway
and allow me to correct myself
by saying jonas doesn't growl like that I meant jonas didn't growl like that last time i heard him which was Murder on some bootleg(not talking about the DVD in Poland but it also applies there).
I guess that Jonas' growls just got a lot better.
Jonas' voice is magical...and this is not the first time
unless i knew any better I'd say Scarlet Heavens was sung by Dan Swanö
so anyway I think it's time for another october tide.
p.s
getting pwned by Jonas is my second highlight of the day
the first one would obviously be sex

I agree, I quite like this song actually though I am not sure about the lady singing, I'm not so much into that but it seemed to work in this case.

But I concur Jonas growls have gotten a lot better. The best i've heard, and i've never been big on non-clean vox.

the growls used on this record are a lot more experimental and atmospheric in a chorusy operatic sort of way... very effective and cool!

I just got a couple of tracks from my girlfriend and well...
Jonas Part is great and saves the song from sucking. The first 5 minutes are just thick, overproduced crap with one of the most annoying sounding drums ever. The last part of the song is quite alright until it becomes a Therion copy (9:15).
"Beneath The Waves" sounds completly different and does not suck and thus I ahve some hope for the rest.
I dunno, this music isn't really for me. It's too much. The guy behind it should learn when less is more.
And cut out the cheese, it's worse than my poetry.

I mean, he uses to sing hiding his face behaind his long hair, showing the tip of his nose only, a bit uncle that-style, you know. and I think is nice to see him on the DVD because there are not so many video interviews (or I havent seen many of them, actually, just 1)

I quite enjoyed the first half. Haven't gotten in to cd 2 yet.
At first (as I'm new to Ayreon) I had the feeling that there were just too many songs
playng at the same time. But then, trying to take it as operatic music, I found more
logic in the songs. I quite like the softness of the music. The only thing I really want to critisise
is the fact Arjen seems to compose a bit too much Gathering for Anneke and a bit too much Katatonia for Jonas etc.
Haven't heard any other Ayreon, should probably get Human Equation.
