The other songs on the album will be completely different than this one both said. Away from Ayreon and Epica sound. More experimental, a bit of Rammstein as well. She will also sing a song in German and one in Dutch! I'm looking forward to the album.
Thanks for your reaction. As a true Epican and Ayreonout it was a surprise to me, I knew they talked about over the years but still. Made my preorder + the T-shirt of course, without hesitation. 😉🤘
Love the progressive/genre-hopping aspect, and of course Simone is stunning vocally and visually. Arjen’s writing is very obvious (this feels like it could have been an Ayreon song from the Transitus era), but I am also really curious to see what the rest of the album will be like.
GREAT reaction you two!! Smoon + Arjen = Chef’s Kiss!! Sheesh!! Let’s face it, they (and Rob and others yet unknown), have set a new bar for symphonic, prog metal solo work!! Simone is just so amazing!! Luv her 😍
Ok so hear me out... this clearly takes place on Mars. You can also see explosions and fire on a planet..... what if simone is the colonists sister and they are about to pass away... iykyk
As fun and complex as the song is, I was a little surprised that somehow there was too little Simone in Simone's first solo song for me. I feel like the choir (albeit amazing) singing both the chorus and the epic breakdown at the end didn't really give her amazing voice a chance to truly shine. Still, I'm very much looking forward the rest of the album! Edit: It turns out Simone IS the choir, confirmed by Arjen himself, who answered my comment under the original video 😅
@@howlandgrowl Simply because this is not Epica,this sounds different,as it should.And that's because the whole production is different,by different people.But is this better or worse,opinions...
Perhaps someday you will appreciate Epica and regret that you were previously biased towards them after hearing only a few songs. Their discography is absolutely gorgeous. Simone's song is definitely not better than their discography. maybe you don't like that Epica is quite heavy
She's spent twenty years building a career with Epica, based on talent. If she wants to wear a dress like that because she still looks that good at 39, she's earned it, her talent is well established.
Simpphoney metal would be far less popular if not for the legs and b👀bies. The more skin you show, the more people will type their one-handed comments calling you a goddess. Speaking of.. The ultimate legs metal clip: Ex-Libris - Daughter of Corinth. 🤣
@@LuvtheJEm And yet there are many other artists and singers, who are even more talented and also good looking ( maybe not as good looking as her , but still...) that don't showcase their beauty and choose to just let their talent and music speak for themselves. That's revealing a lot about each person's character.
