I still love watching this. I can only imagine how scary it is to make an Ayreon album knowing the bar has been set SO high by previous albums. But he just went into the studio and made the best one yet, like it was no big deal.
For some reason this remains my favorite Ayreon album. When I heard it the first time (kinda like "meh, Arjen can't possibly surprise me any more"), I went into a trance of listening to this over and over again. What a piece of art!
The doors to music heavan have opend wide once again. Guitars, keys, drums, harmonics, palm-mutes and hopefully a surpricing singers line up. I wonder and can only imagine what the story is going to be about. Thank you thank you thank you so much Arjen. Good luck and greetings to Lori too. It looks like she's taking good care of you, Thee, Milk, Cookies.
Man, even after his elbow injury, and his tinnitus, he's still going to complete this album. Arjen, you are my favorite musician of all time, and this album is going to be jaw-dropping!
Ayreon was what got me into prog music to begin with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every masterpiece of an album you've crafted, and I will await this one with more anticipation than I had for Rush's Clockwork Angels. Keep on rocking, metal hippie god!
over two months since and I can't go a week without listening to the little audio snippets in this video again. Needless to say I haven't been this excited for an album since Clockwork Angels.
This is amazing news! I recall Arjen mentioning that it could possibly be 10 years until the next Ayreon. Really happy to hear it's coming out next year!
The great thing about learning this great news so late, is that the release might not be too far away...! We are very much looking forward to your new work, Arjen! Warm regards from the cold north of the Netherlands.
This is the best thing I've ever seen. And then I was able to take my eyes off the silver clothes and saw that there's gonna be a new Ayreon album, and that made it even better. Awesome news, and awesome wardrobe!
I hope you have already listened the other albums, if not you're missing a big, big deal! Jajaja Into the Electric Castle or The Human Equation, I'll say no more. Greetings!
Cant wait to hear how the story continues Everything about the Ayreon universe is awesome, the music, the story, the atmosphere, the artists. Well at least we know what the best album of 2013 is gonna be :D
Oh my... I do so hope you will release the new Ayreon in the same manner you did with your solo album (which I loved!) Signed copies, t-shirt, poster, stickers kind of packages :D This video made my day at work see the light.
Saw this video first on my smartphone in a metropolitan area between thousands people doesn't know nothing about the best music news since 2008. Can't wait to have my preorder signed copy between the others.
From the begining i was smiling. through out the rest of the video and up to the point where he circled PROG, i believe my mouth hit the record for biggest smile, like i was going to eat my own head.
That's the most wonderful music news I've heard since 2008! Arjen, I hope you'll continue experimenting with industrial sounding parts like it was in 01011001 and GuiltMachine. I highly appreciate your projects because, despite it's still rock-music, they're consist of many elements from widely separated genres and in fact sound nice and beautiful!
Oh what I would give to have an awesome room filled with instruments like that. Especially if Arjen lived in it and played music all day. Looking forward to the new album!
"Universal Migrator I and II" are coming out on VINYL, woo-hoo!! Please re-release "The Final Experiment" on vinyl too, it's my all-time favorite Ayreon recording !! Can't wait for the new recording too. Arjen is such an amazing talent !!
"Will we ever understand this complex genious? This visionary thinker?" :D
I still love watching this. I can only imagine how scary it is to make an Ayreon album knowing the bar has been set SO high by previous albums. But he just went into the studio and made the best one yet, like it was no big deal.
the riff on "the theory of everything 1,2,3" is mindblowing!
A time when The Theory of Everything started... Great album. I think I have now listened to the album about 20 times now :)
For some reason this remains my favorite Ayreon album. When I heard it the first time (kinda like "meh, Arjen can't possibly surprise me any more"), I went into a trance of listening to this over and over again. What a piece of art!
This video humorously announced what is still Ayreon's best album to this day ! Thank you so much !
The doors to music heavan have opend wide once again. Guitars, keys, drums, harmonics, palm-mutes and hopefully a surpricing singers line up. I wonder and can only imagine what the story is going to be about. Thank you thank you thank you so much Arjen. Good luck and greetings to Lori too.

Arjen, you are my favorite musician of all time, and this album is going to be jaw-dropping!
The excitement level is. It's. OVER 9000!!! My joy cannot be expressed in words. A true modern-day Renaissance man.
Ayreon was what got me into prog music to begin with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every masterpiece of an album you've crafted, and I will await this one with more anticipation than I had for Rush's Clockwork Angels. Keep on rocking, metal hippie god!
Ahh, memories... It brings back so many memories... And to think of I got to know Ayreon when I was an elementary schooler...
Can't wait.
