at first about this one who talks taht the reason was family ok so if she want to be with her son thats ok but if ADA , band is more comercial it doesnt have "metal opinion" so its quite possible that AdA start to ravelled the world and ect
You can call me Dorian, if you like. I prefer that over "this one"
I see what you mean. However, whether the band sounds more mainstream or not is not too important, I think: metal bands or bands with what you call "metal opinion" travel around the world just as mainstream pop bands do. Just look at all the American tours TG did in the past several years. Anneke has stated in interviews she wanted to spend more time at home. I guess that means it's likely she will do that, and thus will tour less.

and about famlily reasons and stuff we can give a lot o exemepels when singer or musician are in the big band have kids
and i can give you a vocalist in poland Kasia Nosowska she is the former vocalist of the one of the most popular polish bands since 15 years , shes got a child , she got also some solo albums , that albums are in music way totally diffrent from her bands job , her band named Hey in poland is very popular when they realesed they album they are everywhere , a lot o radio interwews , clipshoots , festiwals concerts , even abroad (for poles but they need to travelled), and also she write words for other musicians so she can do a lot of diffrent stuff and bieng mother
I am a bit familiar with both Hey and Nosowska's solo project, and this lady really is an impressive singer! And from what I've heard her solo project is quite different from Hey too. I wasn't saying solo projects in general had to be like the original band, I only said there was no reason for Anneke to change her sound that much.
And of course some people can combine being mother with being a star and travelling around the world, but others can not. Also, many mothers just wouldn't want that: they want a quieter life, being with their child more often. Nosowska's choice is her own, and so is Anneke's. We can hardly judge any of the two for making their own choices, right?

this music is to similar to Tg i dont mean her voice but the music the way that songs are built , and 3 people i asked in the first moment was thinking that SSB its a some song from HTMAP or SB , or You are nice is very similar to debris .give me some diference between TG and Ada pleas give me
SSB is Sunken Soldiers Ball, right? Interesting, you mentioned it before. There's no denying that the intro (first half minute) sounds like TG's Red is a Slow Colour. After that, the similarities end. The way Anneke employs backing vocals in this track is unlike anything she's done before. I can't recall TG using any trumpets, now that I'm listening to the track again.
The construction of the songs is, in my opinion, also quite different: tracks are shorter, there's less experimentation, there are less sound effects both by keyboards and guitars. As you said yourself, this project is more commercial. I prefer the term mainstream, because I don't think Anneke expects to make big money out of this. The music is also more mainstream, simplifying song structures significantly.

last day i put in my mp3 player HTMAP Souvenirs and Home and after that Air and i dont feel that nothing changed maybe only that guiters are worst so for me Air is a better version of Home mixed with HTMAP and if amy Winehouse was the singer od the band i would say the same thing
and i guess if band without anneke in voc recored album like this some of you will attack them like some where attacked
gathering alike femalefrontedmetal bands
I don't really understand what you're saying in the end, could you clarify that?
Well, if you listen to those four cd's in a row you'd be deaf not to notice any differences, but I guess you mean there's no difference between the three TG albums and Air.
I'm sorry, but HTMAP and Souvenirs are both very different from Air, way more so than Home. The two former cd's are full of experimentation, have a layered sound and have longer tracks in general. There are many similarities between Home and the quieter songs on Air, I agree. In my last comment, I already gave some reasons for that. Those quieter songs, however, are so quiet and minimalistic that I would never recognize them as TG/ADA songs without Anneke's vocals. There's hardly a specific sound that distinguishes them from thousands of other pop songs.
In the less quiet songs, I'd just as soon draw parallels with Anathema and Porcupine Tree, as I mentioned before. Tracks like "Witnesses", "You are Nice" and the climax of "Trail of Grief" sound roughly the same as PT when Steven Wilson is trying to rock. Certain parts of "Ice Water" sound like passages Anathema's Fine Day to Exit. "Come Wander with Me" (I've never heard the original) seems like a Loreena Mckennitt song. And right now I'm too lazy to listen to more tracks, so this will have to do.
Yes, there are similarities between TG and ADA. But it's Anneke's distinct sound and her special way with melodies that makes them sound somewhat same-ish, not the music per se.
