| | Sound Space: Science Fiction Audio Reviews |
 | | Space Metal, a fresh concept album from hard-rock artist Arjen Anthony Lucassen, is therefore a welcome aberration, since many of the tunes are directly inspired by well-known SF movies and, in at least one case, a famed British TV series. |
 | | As the name implies, Space Metal fuses some of the finest facets of heavy metalin addition to a few of its excesseswith a bevy of creative narratives fueled by the best science-fiction films, offering a sometimes trite but invariably exhilarating harmonic journey to far-flung destinations that, as the liner notes attest, "seem strangely familiar." |
 | | Still, Space Metal remains, for the most part, fulfilling and fun, forming memorable "sonic space movies" that are truly innovative and entertaining. |
