5.0 classic
Nine Inch Nails The Downward Spiral
Reel Big Fish Turn the Radio Off
Seventh Wonder Mercy Falls

4.5 superb
Anberlin Cities
Ayreon The Source
This album takes the most exciting parts of Ayreon and mixes in elements of some of Arjen's other
works like Star One. It's more consistently heavy throughout with excellent guitar work and
vocals. Overall, it's a very solid effort by him and the recording artists. And for those
discrediting it for its cheesiness, don't take it so seriously and just have fun with it. I think
that's what Arjen intended for his audience.

Dynazty The Dark Delight
While this seems to be the unpopular opinion, I think this is Dynazty's best work to date. I
wasn't too impressed with the single/album opener, but the rest of the album is top notch. You get
their typical formula of catchy melodies, solid instrumentals and a powerful vocal performance,
but this time the pieces just seem to click better than they ever have. The guest vocals by Henrik
from Amaranthe were a fun addition to the album as well. Overall a very solid effort and I'm sure
I'll continue to spin this album many more times.

My only complaint is the album cover, which I think just might be the worst album artwork I have
ever seen in my life.
