Guiding the album is narration from Mike Mills (Toehider) along with collaborators like Irene and Floor Jansen (Nightwish, After Forever), Robert Soeterboek, Marcela Bovio, and Patty Gurdy, adding depth to the album’s diverse sound.

Eclipsed (GER) – #1 album of the month – 9/10
“’Songs No One Will Hear’ is an outstanding album, guitar-driven, with a smooth pop sound, captivating melodies, wonderful vocals, memorable compositions, and many great arrangement surprises. All in all, a mega-strong performance and top-notch entertainment.”
Powerplay Magazine (UK) – #1 album of the month – 8/10
“True to his style, Arjen blends powerful epics with lighter, playful tracks. Lush melodies, Tull-like prog episodes, strings, acoustic touches, and flashes of metal make it a true kaleidoscope.”
Fistful Of Metal Magazine (UK) – 8/10
“Arjen never misses, and this is a critical hit!”
Rock Hard (GER) – 8,5/10
“No one celebrates the apocalypse as compellingly as the mastermind behind Ayreon and Star One. On Songs No One Will Hear, ‘Mr. L’ unfolds his signature multilayered progressive color palette in all its glory — resulting in one catchy tune after another.”
Metal Hammer (GER) – 5/7
“Musically at times beautifully theatrical and stylistically quite diverse, Songs No One Will Hear is, of course, a tightrope walk between kitsch, artistic ambition, and commercial appeal.”
