Definitely Arjen's "worst" album. Its best tracks are Abbey of Synn and Computer Eyes. Too bad the other tracks are relatively weak and boring compared to those, though still not bad of course.

Nothing wrong with this one even if it's more sutble and slow compared to other Ayreon releases. It has a hypnotic flow and a distinct atmosphere I like. I prefer the original version and think the programmed drums fit the sound and direction here.
