This is a derivative of a different post.

Sorry if I sound like a post-whore right now.. I just discovered this forum after finished QC and decided it was time to make myself a nuisance as quick as possible.

Anyways, for those who have heard this album, and actually listened to the lyrics, you may have come up with a conclusion, a conclusion which I asked Arjen Anthony Lucassen about personally.

That is, the whole album is about various sci-fi movies Arjen likes.

The ones I've figured out are

1) The Eye of Ra - about Stargate (the movie)
2) Master of Darkness - about Star Wars, particularly Luke learning the force.
3) Perfect Survivor - about Alien.

I can provide specific reasons for my conclusions if you feel like it.

and please help me with the rest of the songs.  I'm totally not sci-fi movie-savvy to figure it out.

If you havn't heard the album, it's definitely worth checking out.

It's all there in the Wikipedia article. That I wrote.

Damnit.  I never thought of using Wiki.  Curses!

Storm Rider:
Can I derail THIS thread into talking about how totally stoked I am for the new Ayreon album?

Seriously, it's not only the tongue-in-cheek cheesy sci-fi stuff, but now he's breaking the fourth wall with it. It's awesome in a kind of trippy way.

kivenkantaja:
Whoohoo!  I didn't know a new Ayreon album was coming out!

You've made me positively excited and totally ok that this thread deviated.  'specially since KharBevNor totally derailed it right away.
