(Review from progarchives.com)

Part 1 of “Universal Migrator” was melodic and atmospheric, while this album is a heavy progressive adventure.

There are a plethora of guest singers and musicians, including Bruce Dickinson and Clive Nolan on “Into the Black Hole”, but the sound and feel remain very much Ayreon. The list of bands supplying guests gives more than a hint of what to expect, including as it does Symphony X, Arena, Helloween, Iron Maiden, Stratovarius, and Rhapsody.

There is still plenty of melodic, and indeed accessible rock here though, “Dawn of a Million Souls” for example has an anthemic chorus backed by heavy keyboards and orchestration. The usual space and time themes prevail throughout, with more synthesiser, organ and guitar solos than most bands manage in their entire existence. There’s an excitement and good feeling to the music which gives this concept album a lasting appeal.
