Style: progressive metal, metal opera
Primary Emotions/Themes: what makes us human? what happens when we are in a coma? emotions and coming to terms with mortality
Thoughts: I think I would normally write a huge epic summary for an album like this, I'm going to try and do the opposite. Simply put The Human Equation is the best metal opera that I have ever heard. The combination of singers gathered here and the depth of emotions displayed is incredible. I've never heard anything like it. For anyone that has ever enjoyed metal in any capacity whatsoever you owe it to yourself to listen to Ayreon's magnum opus. To do anything less would be uncivilized.
