I'll give it two thumbs up! It's classic Arjen, so you know what to expect. I've only heard the album about 5 times, so it's still sinking in. This one seems a bit harder to get a grasp on than Human Equation, but that might just be that I'm out of Ayreon mode these days (have to be in the mood) whereas I was wearing out Final Experiment and Electric Castle in the weeks before I got HE.
I know one thing, as with any Arjen release, anytime I'm not sure what I want to listen to at any given moment, I can put in Ayreon and I'm good to go for awhile. That's the genius of his songwriting.
