"seeing them (alan & natasja) evolve has been a pleasure.Haven't been around for a few years but after all this time I still love it!!!!Thank you for using these songs that have existed for a while now ; I've been waiting for them to be released.Quality and serious creative talent are what lie beyond this beautiful piece.If you are a musical connoisseur you need this as part of your collection.Times change but "Eleven" will always be cutting edge for music enthusiasts."
The other albums by Eleven are better

"I really like this band a lot, but I have to say that this is probably their worst album. I really like "Thunk", the self titled "Eleven" album, and "Avantegardedog" (sp?) and even their input on Chris Cornell's first "solo" album Euphoria Morning makes it sound more like an Eleven record than a true solo project of Cornell's. But when I listened to "Awake in a Dream", I was just basically disappointed. It's way too pop-oriented and happy sounding, with none of the off-beat, minor-chord, weirdness and creepy vocal/musical arrangements that make the other aforementioned albums so enjoyable. Do not judge this otherwise excellent band by this, their only sub-par album. I suggest if you are interested in checking out these two musical geniuses, pick up either their self-titled album or Thunk. You won't regret either purchase."
