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.

Damnit. I never thought of using Wiki. Curses!

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.
-
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.

BAM! (http://www.ayreon.com/ayreon/ay_01011001.html)
Listen to Arjen's clip if you want to know what I mean about the breaking the fourth wall thing.
Anyway, January 29th holy crap I am far more excited about this than I probably should be.
-
friggen cool.
I'm excited now! though I'll be a very poor student by then.. but I think a new Aryeon album is definitely worth starving for a couple days.

:-o wtf??? no one told me that there's a 2cd version, daaaaaaaaamn
well...at least i've got the live on earth 2cd+dvd thing
-
"Space Metal" was a fantastic album.
I think I prefer it to anything he's ever done under the Ayreon moniker.
-
The second CD opens with a nine minute plus Hawkwind medley (Master of the Universe/Silver Machine/Psychedelic Warlords/Brainstorm/Assault and Battery/The War I Survived/Spirit of the Age/Lost Chronicles) with Dave Brock on vocals.
You really have no idea what you're missing.
-
Sendspace?
-
the 2nd CD is definitely cool.
Arjen doesn't usually dissapoint.
