Ayreon (pronunciation (help·info)) is a project by Dutch composer and musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen.

Ayreon’s musical style derives mostly from heavy metal and progressive rock, but combines them with genres like folk, classical and electronica to form what some call a completely new style of music. The majority of Ayreon’s albums are dubbed “rock operas” because the albums contain complex storylines featuring a host of characters, each represented by a unique vocalist.

Ayreon’s music is characterized by the use of traditional instruments in rock music (guitars, bass guitar, drums, synthesizers, electric organs) mixed with instruments more native to folk and classical music (i.e. mandolins, violins, violas, celli, flutes, sitars and didgeridoo). Lucassen writes the music and the lyrics, sings and plays instruments on all of the Ayreon albums, alongside many guest musicians. Arjen has said he will keep making Ayreon music until the day he loses love for music or until the day he dies.[1]

History

The first Ayreon CD, released in 1995, is The Final Experiment, which has a mixture of science fiction and medieval themes. The album features thirteen singers and seven instrumentalists, most of them Dutch. The Final Experiment is often mentioned as one of the first metal operas and a reviver of the rock opera genre.

    I have to agree. While The Human Equation is my favourite album of all time, it does not have the best individual Ayreon songs. Songs like Dawn of a Million Souls, Computer Eyes, Amazing Flight, The Two Gates, The First Man On Earth and And the Druids Turn To Stone definitely deserve to be in the charts.

    I'm not crazy about these charts. The Human Equation is great and all, but The Universal Migrator albums deserve some love too! Admittedly, they have some nostalgic value for me so maybe I'm not objective enough...

    Oh, and the best moment for me not only on the album, but music itself, is when LaBrie's ending note gets cut and the story lifted to completely new level with, like, 10 words. Since I'm familiar with the whole Ayreon concept and story, that part just literally made me unable to breathe for close to half a minute... again. It is so fucking unbelievable I find myself once again running out of words. I just hope that all that isn't what mankind is about to come, neither literally nor at any other level we could interpret it. Like always after listening to THE (which happens extremely rarely since it's so big and crushing and I must be in the mood for it), I will name it the best album I've ever heard. (Although I tend to do this with stuff like Seventh Wonder - Mercy Falls and Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime as well. Gee, it's good that I don't like those depressing concept albums that mess with human psyche! If I did, I'd question my sanity. -.-)

    Apparently the only thing that makes The Human Equation even resemble a man-made album (and not perfect/godly itself) is the fact that Mike Baker (R.I.P.) doesn't get to sing at all. Anyway, his role as Father is unbelievably well delivered - we hear yet another dimension of his incredible vocal delivery. It's absolutely irrelevant for me to search any "best" or "worst" parts of the album since the complete package is so out of this world. Every song and voice reflects the atmosphere that's taking place perfectly. Although I think I might like the strongest voices the best (and I realize not every role should have a strong voice; the roles are perfect, I'm only talking about what I normally prefer here). Magnus Ekwall absolutely fucking shines throughout the album, LaBrie is as unbelievable, as well as Flo- Irene Jansen. :) Marcela Bovio and Mikael Åkerfeldt have glimpses of awesomeness as well. And as always, Devin... well, he's ridiculous as Rage, especially in Day Sixteen: Loser.

    Good for solo album but I'm still waiting for new Ayreon's album with Fernando Ribeiro as a part of it.

    My one and only complaint with The Human Equation is that Rage/Devin Townsend wasn't on more songs.

    "He said that Ayreon project on hiatus. Still hoping for the best" I was under the impression that there would be no more albums released under Ayreon because the story has been finished. Lucassen's still going, but I don't think Ayreon is.

    01011001 isn't underrated, The Dream Sequencer Part 1 is one hell of an underrated album. I fell in love with Ayreon because of that album.
