Ayreon Final Experiment: Special Edition Songs Final Experiment: Special Edition Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   Excellent, too bad its under rated Despite his popularity this till remains one of Arjen Lucassen's most under rated albums, it has never received the recognition it deserves. Out of all the Ayreon CD's this has some of the most skillfully crafted progressive rock elements i have ever heard. If you like Ayreon and you havent heard this album, give it a shot and see where it all began!! Submitted by Stephen (Denver, CO, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
great work, pure art ! The Ayreon saga is just getting better with this special edition of "the Final Experiment". Arjen is probably the most talented artist I know, intertoining riffs, vocals and melodies with such a grace. I love it!! Submitted by younes (Nashville, TN, USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Where the 70's were headed Remember when music was an adventure, before corporate Big Music started refusing to sign any artist that wasn't a clone of the current best seller? Each Ayreon album takes you back to those days when music was original, magical, and exciting.
Arjen Lucassen, the man behind the Ayreon project, has just finished a massive undertaking to remaster and reissue all of the Ayreon albums. This album, the first, is the only one to be reissued without extensive remastering due to unavailability of the original master tapes. The sound is still excellent and the music fresh, and it's hard to believe this recording was first released ten years ago.
The bonus disc features newly-recorded acoustic versions of most of the original tracks, and these alone are worth the price. Arjen works with some of the best musicians and vocalists in the business to create his works, and it shows.
Lucassen's project recordings, including Ayreon, Star One and Ambeon, prove that the corporate fat cats haven't a clue. Grab a copy and see where the 70's could have taken us. Submitted by Robin (Austin, TX)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

| | Dream Theater Octavarium CD (2005)
Final Experiment: Special Edition
$11.15 As the sole major-label progressive-metal act, Dream Theater invariably set the standard as the flagship band of the genre. With the numerically themed OCTAVARIUM (including eight tracks signifying the band's eighth release) the shred-rock quintet continues to challenge themselves creatively. Opening track "The Root Of All Evil" picks up the thread that began with "The Glass Prison" (SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE) and carried forward to "This Dying Soul" (TRAIN OF THOUGHT). Drummer Mike Portnoy's lyrics for these songs read like a set of deeply personal journal entries documenting his painful recovery experience, further disclosed by a footnote nod to Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson. OCTAVARIUM chiefly finds Dream Theater stepping back from elaborate fretboard acrobatics, focusing on vocal-based, song-oriented ...
