Man... I thought I would like this way more than I do. After The Human Equation Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen put together Stream of Passion solely to showcase the vocals of Mexican singer Marcela Bovio. So naturally, given my love of Ayreon, I thought I would love this. Unfortunately, I find it a bit boring. I don't know why. Marcela is an excellent vocalist, if a little shrill at times and the rest of the band was hand picked by Arjen himself so you know they're good. But I don't know what it is about this disc but I just never really got into it. It ends up being a mixture of Evanescence and Ayreon which you'd think would be awesome but I never find myself wanting to pick this back up. Usually the only time I listen to it is when I try to see if it will grow on me.... and it never does. It's not bad... but I just can't get into it.
Useless Fact: Guitaris Lori Linstruth plays on Arjen's new project Guilt Machine.
