Well, I will listen to it before I buy it. I can't say I really enjoy any of their stuff but, who knows. It could be great.

whats the deal with this moonsorrow ? I think I downloaded a few songs and wasnt it some alien language ? I think they had one of those rabid dogs "singing" too dont they ?

*sigh*... yes and yes.
They sing in Finnish and they do have a more "black metal" style vocal delivery, but it's straight up viking metal. Moonsorrow is, to my ears, one of the best bands out there right now and has some of the finest compositions. The raspy vocals work with what they do, though they're hardly extreme metal as there are no blastbeats and the music is very melodic and epic as hell.
Their last album, V: Hävitetty (Chapter 5: Ravaged) is literally one of the best, most flawless albums ever penned.

You should get Seasons End if you haven't got that one, that's their best.
And symphonyxjapan, you're a massive fanboy and you don't have to argue your points cuz it's like you're going berserk with blank bullets. Also, you don't have to be ashamed to say you download music, even from your favorite band. I'm downloading 10101010 whatever as I type.
I dunno how zachs gonna react but I actually thought Moonsorrow were kind of boring. They are good and I see their qualities, I love long songs that build up, and I enjoy viking metal but I just think they are kinda boring. Could be that I need to listen to them some more.

Currently listening to Connect the Dots. It's good except the chorus. TBH not a single woman in Ayreons projects can sing for shit.

Definitely start with Seasons End for Marillion.
Misplaced Childhood and Clutching At Straws are also excellent.
Also a big fan of Marillion.com and This Strange Engine.
Marbles is great but it's really mellow by comparison. The bonus track "Ocean Cloud" is a highlight.

Floor sucked on Star One. She's a good vocalist, but the melodies and harmonies Arjen made her sing were ass.

I almost won Seasons End Picture Disc UK Vinyl yesterday but some bastard beat me with 20 seconds left. I was livid.
The best thing about Star One was Russell Allen & Dan Swanö

Too bad Swanö didn't go touring, he'd look fab in one of those tight gay space costumes
Now playing Beneath the Waves, another decent song from 10101010101 which could be better without shitty chick choruses. I'm sure they can sing very well, it just that it sounds shit and it would be so much better without it
Im currently listening to "The Castle Hall" under headphones and I think its a trip. I'm chuckling a bit, I must admit. Good entertainment

ok, i'm not a huge fan of arjen himself... or his projects, but the man can choose some fine vocalists.
just listening to the song on the myspace and hearing jorn, hansi, and daniel on one song... my head might explode.
again...this has nothign to do with fanboiness.... i think ayreon is "ok" at best, but the vocalists are far better than ok.
i will buy the album.
can someone email me "the fifth extinction" to tide me over though?

you both = fail.
The best new Ayreon track is The Sixth Extinction. Jonas P Renkse ftw. The vocalists do a great job throughout... but that's the only song I can actually listen to and enjoy it.
