yes I agree, it has too much vocals I think. Not a lot of room for the music to get carried away like on previous albums

I think The Source was overcrowded with similar voices, too, which made it feel more obtrusive. It was (for the most part) a bunch of male tenors belting everywhere and then Floor doing powerhouse belting as well. So far the vocalists revealed here are much more diverse.

Yeah, unmistakably.

Simone Simons and Dianne van Giersbergen on the same album.
This was unexpected.

I am...less than thrilled with that choice, but we'll see where this goes. I'm hoping the album is great, but I do have to say my interest in these "cast" albums are directly related to the vocalists and so far the only ones I'm excited about here are Tommy and Mike Mills.

So...those song titles are incredibly sophomoric.

I only know the word "sophomore" regarding Americans talking about which year of university they're in (the one after freshman year) and regarding second albums.

I gotcha. I didn't take into account that it's probably a mostly-American phrase.
Number 2 is more what I meant.
The Human Equation had very simple song names and yet it's one of the best albums ever.
