2008-03-11 16:06:07 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Ayreon for any length of time. But I was hoping. After all, the previous album was a masterpiece that still resonates for me to this day. That one hasn't lost its appeal at all for me since it was released almost 4 years ago (has it really been that long Sadly, the diversity of that album seems to have been mostly cast aside for the...

AYREON - The Universal Migrator part one: The Dream Sequencer (2000)

2008-02-07 13:07:17 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Ayreon's Universal Migrator set. The concept itself is interesting and the music is up to the usual Ayreon standards. The major problem I have is why would you not release this as a 2-CD set and why must the two separate discs contain two distinct styles of music In fact I even heard that Arjen Anthony Lucassen was even considering have only...

...Ayreon While the Universal Migrator pair of albums are often seen as a low point in Ayreon's long and strange career full of operas, for those who have the acquired taste they require they are a really big treat. As many people know, when it came to making these albums Arjen Lucassen (Mr. Ayreon himself) decided that when the double album was...

...Ayreon, being a troupe of forward-facing metal storytellers, can resemble Queensryche and can feel like their logical next step at times. Unnatural Selection is perhaps the most overt homage to that band, and the worst song on the album by entire kilometres. Aside from that fairly obvious comparison, Ayreon aren't really like any particular...

Ayreon's highly anticipated new album 01011001 (Y). Released about four months ago I was one of the many fans that eagerly jumped to the roof to buy this long awaited album. The next step in the climb to amazingness by Arjen A. Lucassen. After listening to the album a few times... I sit comfortably at 4.5 stars. I hate mediums. The album is...

AYREON - Actual Fantasy Revisited (2004)

2008-07-08 13:44:05 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Ayreon's second album Actual Fantasy was released in 2004 not long after his masterpiece The Human Equation . This rerecorded version of the original was an interesting choice for treatment considering that this remains the only album not to take place in the cohesive story of the Ayreon Universe. Also strange about this album is the...

...Ayreon's next release, The Human Equation. I was rather surprised and quite impressed with Arjen Anthony Lucassen's next incarnation on the Ayreon express. Like Into the Electric Castle, this one is another full-fledged progressive rock opera with numerous characters all portrayed by different guest vocalists. What is different, is that it...

...Ayreon, you should find little disagreeable about this album. In it Lucassen brings his sweeping sci-fi mythology full circle, tying together nearly all the concepts, twists and musical adventures of the Ayreon catalog. That he employs a hugely gifted lineup of musicians and vocalists should be a given at this point the man has a talent for...

...Ayreon you forgot about the feeling. Arjen again opened his heart and gave us all his feelings, personal from his current life and fictional from his dreams, and completed the circle of the Ayreon story in a masterful way. I really felt how dark this album tends to be, sad as our future and lonely as our present is. Planet Y is our mirror and...
