One of the thing that always kills the Ayreon store for me is the exchange rate. It never seems to be that good for the US, and then shipping is expensive AND it too goes through the exchange rate. In a perfect world I can see myself getting the 2CD+1DVD and then separately the 2LP for $40 shipped, which I'll be happy with.

In other news, my musical focus (or that of Mason) will be turning to churning out a review in the coming week or so.

Lucky mofo's!!!

I bought the vinyl package with T-Shirt and poster. Bad thing is that there is no version with vinyl where the DVD comes too. They made us to buy extra for profit.

Arjen has earned "shut up and take my money" status, I really don't mind, if I ever want the vinyl version I'll gladly pay some more.

Greetings...

That's really quite unfair. I too find it unfortunate that there is no version that has vinyl and DVD, but they offered a bunch of different bundles and gave fans a lot of options with single items as well. There is a lot of better examples of bands out there gouging fans for money.

I see what you did there.

My full review will be up by the end of the week. I doubt any of you will want to see what I have to say though. Keep in mind my reviews are rather objective and not through a fanboy lens, I try not to review things I can't be objective about (Dream Theater).

jingle.boy · « **Reply #636 on:** October 07, 2013, 02:24:06 PM »

Didn't like it, huh?

Nick · « **Reply #637 on:** October 07, 2013, 02:32:34 PM »

I knew I should have made you do The Flower Kings.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #638 on:** October 07, 2013, 10:11:25 PM »

Let's just say it would be easier to name the Ayreon albums I like less than this one. Actual Fantasy. End of list.

Bolsters · « **Reply #639 on:** October 07, 2013, 10:15:59 PM »

Ouch. Still looking forward to the review though, completely starved for information regarding this at the moment.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #640 on:** October 07, 2013, 10:22:47 PM »

Nick, you have to admit it is not up to par with the body of his work.

Nick · « **Reply #641 on:** October 07, 2013, 10:34:57 PM »

A. I admit no such thing.
B. Arjen's par is many people's excellence.
C. Aside from the oft seen lyrical problems he achieved the goals he set out with pretty damn well I thought.

I don't want to spoil whatever Mason has in the works, but in a somewhat unique way this album was ambitious and showed some serious cajones.

Nekov · « **Reply #642 on:** October 08, 2013, 04:58:03 AM »

The album showed some serious "drawers"? Can you elaborate Nick?

I think you meant cojones

wolfking · « **Reply #643 on:** October 08, 2013, 05:09:36 AM »

New album track.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #651 on:** October 16, 2013, 10:50:11 AM »

Nice!

Evermind · « **Reply #652 on:** October 16, 2013, 11:05:35 AM »

My only and the biggest fear is that they chose the best album parts for the samples and the rest of album is not that amazing.
Because so far I loved everything I've heard from this release.

abydos · « **Reply #653 on:** October 16, 2013, 11:09:16 AM »

Don't know who the male singer is but as I feared - he does nothing for me.

Lolzeez · « **Reply #654 on:** October 16, 2013, 11:13:35 AM »

I wanna say something,but nevermind.

Looking forward to hearing this later.

Two minutes in now. It sounds like Ayreon. That is good, as I love the Ayreon sound.

Lolzeez · « **Reply #659 on:** October 16, 2013, 02:00:57 PM »

Progressive Waves made me do things that a man on coke would do.

You're sick for thinking that was directed to me.

It wasn't right?

Right?

Dear god I thought he was someone else. Isn't there a member here called Lowdz?

Zook · « **Reply #664 on:** October 16, 2013, 03:37:45 PM »

Yes there is and he's 45!

It's gross either way... *cries*
