Human Equation is my favorite, but I like all of this albums. I just absolutely love the story on THE. It is a good one that needs to be read along to with the booklet so that you can keep up with what is actually going on.

I have most of their output, but I�m not really much of a fan. Too much pomp and symphonic elements for my taste and not enough molten metal. It doesn�t mean I can�t appreciate how professional they are or how cleverly composed their music are. and WTF!!! nice ladies Arjen. No wonder he smiles so much:
My introduction to the band was:
and I guess that�s as "metal" as Ayreon gets.
...oh and defintely keep away from this one unless you end up becoming a hardcore fan somewhere down the road:

I have the Human Equation and 01011001, and have heard stuff from some other Ayreon albums but I think 01011001 wins by far.

For me, Into the Electric Castle is the one to hear. I'm also fond of The Final Experiment as well.

Well Symph X being my favorite band I can tolerate some, good, cheese!
Yeah I did end up just checking the highest rated albums but still wanted some input. Well I'll check out those 2 first. |

I only have one album 01011001 and it kicks butt, it is really worthwile to listen to (sadly is the only one I have), it is sort of symph metal with many guest musician, with neuances from new age and ambient music + some industrial stuff, but mostly heavy symphonic metal, some riffs are really shugging around,
the human equation is the highest rated one on PA so might check that one out also (i have no clue how that sounds like but probably epic), Ayreon = epic, if you like fantasy and sci-fi put on some Ayreon with some headphones and you are in the seventh heaven (no Jessica Biel unfortiunatly), Arjen is godlike in epic stories so be prepear for some cheese also (but it is good cheese) |

OK this makes me a bit red in the face being one of the big name prog metal acts, (and one of the first I was ever told of) but I've never listened to anything by Ayreon. Can't let this continue.
Recommendations please! Also, what I can expect from said albums. Sure, I could check the highest rated albums on here and PA and read some reviews, but let's have some discussion instead! Edited by The Angry Scotsman - 22 Jun 2011 at 4:34am |
