They both are great albums, but Visions is more completed and mature! |

In my opinion Aquarius is original, fresh and excellent debut but Visions is only its rehash. Unfortunately, this is one of my biggest let-downs of this year so far. (Although I've liked it initially...) ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

| I have to say Visions - then again, I wasn't as big on Aquarius as a lot of people were (I thought it showed a lot of promise but wasn't really going anywhere). Visions, on the other hand, seems much more fully realized than its predecessor. |

| I'm not sure I can choose on this one. I listened to Aquarius for weeks when I discovered it and now I've been doing the same with Visions and I gotta say, I love them both the same but for different reasons. |

Aquarius is proggier and more atmospheric, plus, I love the concept so it gets my vote. Visions is great, but was a tad rushed, so I think some of the subtler niceties of the first album were dropped as a necessity of haste. -------------

I'll wait until Visions comes out here.

| They'e both outstanding, but the melodies and songwriting on Aquarius is/are a fraction better :) |

One big positive: Visions lack any harsh vocals! ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

Where did the people voting here get the album then? It's due for release coming week - or did you all visit ProgPower USA last month???? ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.

I asked them for a copy of the demo, and they said I would review the new album if they let me 'borrow' a copy. Funnily enough, being nice chaps they actually did let me have a couple of songs. I was surprised!
There's like a minute of them in Aquarius. I find it verging on hilarious that people can get upset about it :') |

I've already closed one thread featuring an appraisal of an album that ain't been released yet and advised you all of the reasons.Cannon fodder indeed  -------------

The Visions album's out now prog shoppers. Go knock yourselves out y'all. (I deserve a free copy for all the work I've had to do on this  )-------------

Having listened to Visions now, I can say its definitely the better album. I think the shorter song format works for them better here with only two big epics rather than a hole album of them, its just so much more concise and coherant, a very good album. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005 |

| I'm loving Visions, but I went with Aquarius for now because it sticks in my head more. Once I've listened to Visions for a few more weeks I'd be able to make a more informed decision. |

Aquarius is way more memorable IMHO.

Judging by your post and signature I guess that spelling just ain't your strong suit. First post after being banned for two weeks? Off to a flyer (keep your powder dry pilgrim)  -------------
