zatiaľ posledné album "Transitus" od hlavného mozgu "Ayreon" - Arjen Anthony Lucassen -a sa od predošlých radoviek líši konceptom, skladateľským prístupom, ako aj čiastočne hudobným prevedením. Áno, je to stále Progressive Metal / Rock (aj keď rock má na tomto albume výraznejšie zastúpenie), avšak Arjen do hudby pridal v porovnaní s predošlými albumami niektoré odlišné zvukové symfonické prvky, možno až muzikálne časti a prvky Opery. Po prvý krát od existencie kapely / projektu, mal na starosti bicie niekto iný, než Ed ,Warby a to Juan van Emmerloot. Myslím si, že aj jeho mierne rozdielny štýl bubnovania prispel k odlišnosti. Zároveň oproti minulosti dostal na albume väčší priestor sprievodca príbehu (rozprávač). Zo začiatku mi to trochu vadilo, avšak keď som si napočúval album podrobnejšie, všetky prvky do seba zapadali.
Hudbu ako vždy dopĺňajú výborní vokalisti/tky: napr.: Tommy Karevik (ako Daniel), Cammie Gilbert (ako Abby), Amanda Somerville (ako Lavinia), Dee Snider (ako The father), Simone Simons (ako The Angel of Death), atď.
Zaujímavý je aj príbeh albumu, ktorý sa stručne odohráva v r. 1884 a točí sa okolo zaľúbeného páriku z rozdielnych vrstiev spoločnosti, ktorému niektorí neprajú a keď nešťastnou náhodou pri požiari zomrie jeden z nich a ocitne sa v inej dimenzii Transitus, príbeh sa postupne rozbehne. Ale to tu nebudem zbytočne vypisovať, oplatí sa to vypočuť. Z môjho

"Transitus" is slightly different album from the previous ones with a different compositional approach, but it's still excellent and quality Progressive material. When it comes to writing stories, Arjen has always been able to delight the concept album lovers with his perfect ideas & as always, there is a superb cast of exceptional vocalists assembled to bring them to life. In some parts, music sounds more like a musical than a conventional Rock album.

너무 좋게 들었다. 시작부터 흥미롭고 트랙은 정말 맛깔나는 곡들로 가득 차있다. 무엇보다 몰입에 큰 영향을 끼치는 컨셉 앨범의 전체적인 분위기를 정말 잘 살렸다. 이렇게 듣는 재미가 확실한 음반을 줄지어 만드는 아르옌이 존경스럽다. 추가로 믹싱에 대해선 개인적으로 이보다 더 좋을 수 없다고 생각한다.

이전 앨범들은 인상깊게 잘 들었는데 이번 앨범은 귀에 잘 들어오지도 않고 게스트 이름값에 비해 영 모자라는듯.
