That's awesome! Can't wait to hear that!

Tom sounds great on the sample.

I think this is going to be great. Arjen has a pretty solid line up except for one or two holes that I'm sure he will be able to work with. Forgive me as I've yet to be blown away by "Pain of Salvation" & I don't like that vocal style. All I have is "Perfect Elements I" though so I'm probably missing something good. I'd hate to judge a band off one album, however that's the biggest album I hear everyone going off about & that's why I got it.

"Into the Electric Castle" is one of my all time favorite albums. It just blows me away. I also love "The Final Experiment" & I'm especially big on "Stream of Passion". If Arjen can slip away from whatever it is he was trying to do on "The Human Equation" I will be a happy man.

I find the total opposite. I find all Ayreon to be really good but 'The Human Equation' was so far ahead of everything else he has ever done that if i ever want to listen to something by Arjen, 'The Human Equation' is the only thing I ever put on. To me 'The Human Equation' is one of the best albums ever, so I'm interested to hear the new album especially as it has Tom on vocals who is better than anybody else Arjen has ever got for vocals

has anyone heard new material from the new Ayreon album? there's a song on Ayreon's MySpace called The Earth Extinction. it features Jorn Lande and Tom among others...i find it somehow...very strange...

Umm. Sorry to hear you don't "get" pain of salvation. He's certainly talented enough and doesn't need direction regardless of what you may feel about the band. POS slays. end of story.

I don't understand why so many herald The Perfect Element as like the God of PoS albums? It is ok however there are too many slow chuggy songs and not enough versatility in the songs throughout. The first couple tracks are a little aggressive and upbeat; however, afterwards all of the songs start to have the same vibe. I really like Remedy Lane, there is so much versatility in it and the keyboard player gets plenty of recognition throughout the tracks as well. Maybe try that album out? I really like "BE"; however, I would not recommend it to a new PoS listener at all because it's so different and focused more on Gildenlow rather than PoS as a whole.

Perfect Element ftw.

It's not a PoS thread, but i fail to see this "Perfect Element as like the God of PoS albums?"...at least from PoS fans...

Every Pos album is uniqe at its way...
But to say to TPE "afterwards all of the songs start to have the same vibe" is a litlle bit not true

just listen to last 4 songs...bla bla bla bla

Cheers

The Ayreon song is pretty strange.

"Perfect Element" was the album that hooked me on PoS... it was my favorite album for a long time... "Remedy Lane" is excellent as well.. unfortunately, their last two albums have been mind-blowingly terrible.. I fear that these recent albums are so bad that they've actually made me like their previous material less
