정말 대단한 앨범이다. 처음엔 Dream Theater의 James Labrie가 참여해서 한 번 들어보았는데 처음 들었을땐 정말 충격이었던 것 같다. 이들의 초기 앨범이 우주의 신비를 음악에 담으려 노력했다면, (3집인 Into the Electric Castle를 들어보길 권한다. 이들 초기 사운드의 종결판이라 생각하는 앨범.)이 앨범은 우주도 우주지만 좀 더 미래적이고 기계적인 사운드를 담고 있는 듯 하다. 노래를 듣다보면 머리에 자연히 생각되는 광경이 있기 마련인데, 이 경우에는 영화에 나오는 듯한 미래도시가 연상되었다. (사실 이 점은 엘범 자켓에 많은 영향을 받지만 말이다.)화려한 게스트진을 상당히 잘 활용했다 생각하며, 멜로디 역시 잘 빠졌다. 마찬가지로 메탈 오페라 형식인 Avantasia는 몇몇 보컬들을 제외하면 모두 토비의 보컬처럼 들리는 데 반해, (왜인진 모르겠다.파워메탈에는 한정된 목소리의 보컬만을 사용할수 있어서인지 아니면 내가 짬밥을 덜 먹어서 그런지) 이 앨범은 보컬 각자들의 개성을 잘 살리고 있다. 보통 앨범을 리뷰할땐 Killing Track과 Best Track을 적는데, 본작은 딱히 유별나게 좋은 곡들을 꼽기 어렵다. 트랙을 골라 듣기 보다는 앨범 전체를 감상하는 것을 추천한다.

Ayreon Universe - Best of Ayreon Live Review (2018) [Live]
Megametal 95/100Oct 2, 2021 Likes : 3
Ayreon je projekt / skupina, ktorá okrem výborných nápadov hlavného mozgu Arjen Anthony Lucassen-a požíva na každom albume veľké množstvo hudobníkov (hlavne spevákov /-čiek). Získať skoro kompletnú zostavu rôznych vokalistov a ešte vytvoriť kvalitné koncertné album sa zdá skoro až nemožné, avšak živák "Ayreon Universe - Best of Ayreon Live" je dôka... Read More

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 ... Read More
The Source Review (2017)

Ayreon hodnotím dosť vysoko v prog. štýle a dlhodobo ich aj sledujem. Pritom moje spoznávanie kapely bolo v minulosti dosť vlažne a nič nenasvedčovalo tomu, že si ich v budúcnosti takto obľúbim. Ayreon je o výbornej hudbe a špičkových hlasoch od hosťujúcich spevákov/speváčok, zároveň o pestrosti, pričom sú aj ľahko rozpoznateľní (má svoj štýl). S... Read More
