The Final Experiment - Ayreon: Find the Grail Within You (1314 words)
by Frankingsteins - written on 03/02/08 (Very useful, 44 readings)
Rating:
Originally a solo album credited to Arjen Anthony Lucassen, 'The Final Experiment' is the first album of his prestigious Ayreon line (how ironic is that?), and is quite different from all of his later, more accomplished releases. A rock opera with multiple singers and the same sort of bizarre, trippy sci-fi/fantasy concept as his later works 'Into the Electric Castle' and 'Universal Migrator,' it's also the only point in the Ayreon discography that greater importance seems to be placed on the concept and lyrics than the music itself. That's not to say it isn't enjoyable or skilled, but much of the music ends up as overly repetitive or atmospheric backing for the singers ...

CD & DVD 
None The tracks are mostly brilliant Valentine is a bit weak Some decent Southern Blues Too technical and not enough feeling Wonderful lyrics, Great vocals None Two Great Tracks Many Repetitive Instrumental Tracks Approachable Ayreon without the flamboyance. Less distinctive and exciting as a result.Violent By Nature - Atrophy
Quite good thrash with crazy Megadeth solo frenzies. Lacks originality or distinctiveness, and starts off on the wrong foot.
Vanity/Nemesis - Celtic Frost
Return to form. Little stands out.
Various Artists - Gilles Peterson
R&B & Soul - Funk - 2003
Urban Legend - TI
His crossover hits are found here Gets a bit too deep at times
Uncovered - Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore
R&B & Soul - Gospel - 2005
Uncovered By Heartbeat - Cherubs
Pop - 2005
Unholy Trinity - Blitzkrieg
Revival of the class sound, unhindered by the curse of the nineties. Stuck in a time warp, and not the best example of the genre.
The Very Best Of Ray Charles - Ray Charles
Ray Charles Greatest Hits !
Abydos - Abydos
A great modern metal opera combining the best elements of the style and few of the weaknesses. The concept and lyrics themselves are far from riveting.
