Well, after a deep theoretical studies and some field researches the answer was finally found… in a way. 😆 “How a centaur can bigspoon someone”, part I, I suppose.

Answering to already received questions in advance. How tall is Danny? He is about 240cm (some details in the next post). What breed is he? Well, he is not a horse, but his lower part looks like a cross between a Mecklenburger, a Friesian and an Arab, which ultimately could give us an Orlov trotter. How fast is he? 20-60 km/h, till 88 km/h sprint. Can he drive? He could definitely drive a Hammer and hypothetically could also remove a row of seats in MR2 and lay there on his stomach (the lower one), but he needs to think about the seat belts. Is Simone a sphinx? Yes, kind of, we couldn’t decide between a phoenix and kitsune, so now she has both feathers and fox paws. Why does Scott look like a little pink mermaid? This is canon, all questions to the creators of "Submarine". Why doesn’t Ash have suction cups? He does, but he rolls his tentacles into tubes when he’s out of the water to avoid dirt or sticking to something/someone (it can leave bruises). Why Alex is covered with leaves? We also had a fight about the appearance of his character, proggers voted for dryad (thanks to SW) and metalheads for another centaur, so the prog side won and Alex is the new Steven (btw for me musically too).

I thought I should listen to Voyager's whole discography in chronological order and see how their sound has developed through their career because their older albums sound almost nothing alike their sound today. So here's my review/things that I noticed/general thoughts about their debut album, Element V from 2003.

When I was first getting into Voyager, I remember that I was hesitant to listen to their early stuff because I know that most bands and artists' early years are... usually very rough. My first impression of Voyager's old stuff did confirm this opinion. I think that early Voyager is very generic heavy metal with very little that sets it apart from everyone else. Not to mention that the mixing on some of the songs on this album is rough and the vocals seem to drown in the instrumentals a little.

However, there are good songs in here! I like the opening track, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi and the baroque-esque (?? is that a word?) hapsichord sound in it. I like how it transitions to the next song and the synths immediately after. It's such a different sound and almost whiplash-y, but it does foreshadow Voyager's evolution and chameleon-like nature. Voyager has refused to stay in a single box since day one. I love that. There's also a general medieval-ish or baroque-esque sound and lyrics for the album that invokes images of knights and high fantasy in my head that took me by surprise when I first listened to this album. It's so different from modern Voyager! It's fascinating that we got from this to the more modern synth sound in Fearless in Love.

One thing that stands out to me is that Daniel's vocals are sometimes growled, when he doesn't growl in the later albums at all. Fascinating!

Overall, Element V is not to my tastes, but I can appreciate it. There are three songs that are on my Voyager faves playlist, but the rest of the album I don't much care for. I feel bad for saying that, seeing how much I love this band lol. But then again, I know for a fact that the more I enjoy their music just increases with the evolution of their sound. I already look forward to this experiment. (Didn't say "voyage", HAH.)
