Of course, this has the accompanying disadvantage of making it less fascinating or compelling for those who were attracted to Ayreon in the first place for its experimental tendencies and trippy plotlines. Along with 'The Dream Sequencer,' this offers a more subdued perspective on Ayreon for the casual listener, but will still be of the most interest to prog fans.
The brief opening song is a minimalist invitation for the listener to ...more |

Actual Fantasy - Ayreon: He Rode Into the Night Towards That Eerie Distant Light... (679 words)

Rating:
Arjen Lucassen's second Ayreon album stands apart from the other releases by eschewing the usual overarching science fiction concept and rock opera format, instead offering a collection of self-contained, similar-sounding songs that follow a more accessible style of progressive metal. The sound is fairly homogenous across the album, which works to its disadvantage in failing to make many stand out, but will be a relief to those who are put off by the varied styles and mixed genres of Lucassen's more ambitious releases; all of these songs plod along at a steady pace, led by a fusion of heavy metal and electronic backing, Lucassen hiring back male vocalists such as Edward ...

A fantastic band and a brilliant album! 
Not everyone will like every track. celtic rock fusion, intelligent and imaginative not the blues that hes known for. Some decent Southern Blues Too technical and not enough feeling A chance to hear them performing live Not long enough Cool, jazzy, intimate feel - songs really take on a different tone "Highway to Hell" cover is unecessary and spoils the mood CD & DVD NoneThe First Four Years - Black Flag
Affordable and convenient repackaging of earlier EPs. Short, without much in the way of original material.
Slip It In - Black Flag
More talented playing from Greg Ginn, and a more consistent album from the band. Not as experimental or ground-breaking as previous works.
My War - Black Flag
Even more experimental and talented than the previous album. Second half may seem a little dull.
Live '84 - Black Flag
A necessary celebration of 1984 material. Instrumentals are a bit wearing.
Jealous Again - Black Flag
Short and sweet offering of early Black Flag. Far too short to be of any real interest.
In My Head - Black Flag
Still tries something new... sort of. Disappointing final release, lacking in energy and creativity.
Damaged - Black Flag
Not a bad song. Some sound similar.
Family Man - Black Flag
Creative, original and so strange. Unbalanced, and many will be turned off by the spoken word half.
Everything Went Black - Black Flag
Formerly rare versions of early Black Flag classics. Too much overlap, and inferior to 'Damaged' versions.
