He went on to say that "Music this over the top almost defies criticism. Reviewing it is like reviewing the world's tallest building. It doesn't care; it just goes on and on." Exclaim's Laura Wiebe Taylor felt that the album had some great songs, such as "Liquid Eternity" and "E=mc2," but that some of the other songs were weaker, including "Newborn Race" and "Web of Lies."Wiebe Taylor Laura February 2008 Ayreon 01011001 http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Metal/ayreon-01011001 live https://web.archive.org/web/20121007082347/http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Metal/ayreon-01011001 7 October 2012 23 June 2011 Exclaim! She concluded her review by saying that "ultimately, 01011001 is a hard rock extravaganza." Chad Bower, in his review for About.com, said that 01011001 "has something for everyone," and that the album is "a musical tour de force that takes the listener on a musical journey with an interesting storyline and very well-written songs." Record Collector's Tim Jones noted the differing styles of the album's songs, saying that "The Truth is in Here" is similar to the music of Blackmore's Night, that "River of Time" is reminiscent of Jethro Tull, and that "Beneath the Waves" reminded him of Pink Floyd.
