Mikael and Marcela and Heather save this album from being the complete garbage that Ayreon is. For me, it got two listens, then put into the bin with my Therion albums. Jesus Christ!!
but yeah, definately check it out. It has its moments for sure.
I don't like the album as much as past Ayreon, but i am guilty of liking Ayreon. I've never really had anything against gay/cheesy/stupid music Into The Electric Castle is almost the cheesiest thing i've ever heard, ESPECIALLY the between track narrations. Oh my god that's horrendous. But it's in my top 15 albums of all time. Funny eh?
