      @@NotesReviews Haha, I know! Thanks man, I can perfectly live with this. The Final Experiment was indeed my first experiment, although I like the songs I was still unexperienced and searching. And yes, Transitus should have been a side-project, or rather a movie. Glad you like Human Equation that much. My biggest problem with that album is the production (drums!). But… coincidentally I’m re-mixing the whole thing right now, and it’s sounding so much better! You know your business, excellent analysis. Keep up the good work 😊

      I think the final experiment is a fully successful experiment to be honest... the story, the music are so well put together... it is really a solid record...

    Ah... The Human Equation. No other album was as instrumental in getting me to both love prog rock, Devin Townsend, and psychology. Great stuff!

    I would place 01 above Human Equation, but the Theater Equation is incredible and well worth any rewatch. Also, Annek v Giersbergen is not on Human equation, only on the live Theater Equaition, because the original singer for 'fear' wasn't into doing acting

    Oh man! The one album I listened in full was 01101011 but after watching this, I just have this urge to go through the full discography!
    I meant to go through the albums a while back but just never got around to it
    The Sixth Extinction is one of my all time favorite tracks, especially the section with Jonas from Katatonia 🔥

      Yep, that's the order of my top 10 too. I was starting to think it might just be me. These days I only listen to 01 & The Source on a regular basis (along with the live compilation video). 01 is the only Ayreon in my top 10 of all time. It is truly is a very special record - I use Comatose & Waking dreams as audiophile standards when comparing high end headphones as the sound quality is just so good.

    Electric castle is the best for me.. Love it. The live version he did is even better.

  • @musicisajourney

    The first one I bought was The Human Equation. It got me into Devin Townsend. The second one was Into the Electric Castle. I loved both albums. I finally bought The Theory of Everything as my third album. But I have only listened to it once. And that’s where I stopped. I felt three albums were enough. Then I heard Flaming Row whose has similar albums with concept stories and rock operas with lots of guests. And that was good! I think to go further might water down my impression of these kinds of albums.

  • @stuartmcivor2276
    @stuartmcivor2276 6 місяців тому

    Transitus is a strange one. I really like it but it's not really Ayreon, so where would I rank it? I've never got into Actual Fantasy at all.

  • @thisch1246

  • @lauscho
    @lauscho 6 місяців тому

    I only really skimmed through this video but I do think our rankings are almost exactly identical. Personally, my top 2 are Electric Castle and Human Equation, but yeah, we're pretty much on the same page otherwise! Human Equation is #1, and it got me into so many artists, particularly Devin Townsend... never would've heard of him if not for that album!
    Basically, I'd swap 01011001 and Electric Castle and THAT'S IT.

  • @damianvc31
    @damianvc31 5 місяців тому

    I love the Source so I'd put it above, but I still have to listen to the Universal Migrator (both parts) and The Human Equation, I only know the live tracks from Ayreon Universe. Otherwise I agree with most of your thoughts

    I know I'll be in the minority here, but I actually love Transitus, and would have it in my top 3 with The Theory of Everything and Electric Castle. Musically very different from what came before, but still has enough Ayreon DNA to make it shine, with outstanding performances from Tommy and Simone especially, and has some outstanding songs throughout its story, in Hopelessy Slipping Away, Listen to my Story, This Human Equation etc. And Tom Baker is an absolute star with his awesome narration.
    So happy that at least one song was included in the encores of the last live shows to show how amazing a full album show could be.

  • @Seryn88

    his name is pronounced Ar-Yun. 😉
    Transitus was initially intended as a film and not as an album, but due to covid-19 and a limited budget, the project is not quite what Arjen expected.

    Electric Castle is my fav for sure, but other than that I agree with your rankings. I think Transitus is easily the worst - it’s the only album I haven’t listened to since it came out.
