Bit of a weird construction, that's all - an artist going a bit further on an album from 2008 than on an album from 2010 seems a bit inimical to the point you were trying to make (a progression). I really like the rest of the review though.

Thanks, appreciate it. Probably one of those things that makes sense in my head, but reading it now I can see where you are coming from.

Love this album. Arjen's voice is so perfect for this 70s-inspired prog stuff. Not the strongest vocalist out there, but he is great in his own way.

Despite Rutger Hauer's skilled narration, I still dislike narration on albums when it's part of the songs. I'd like the option to skip it all, you know. At least the narrated bits are short.

Normally I would agree with you about the narrations, but in this case I just feel that they are a part of the songs, not just add on's, and like you said they are short enough that they work.
