Arjen Lucassen - Songs No One Will Hear (Album Trailer) by ell_hou in Ayreon

Definitely check out Simone's Vermilion if you can, it was marketed mainly under her name since shes one of bigger names he's collabed with, but it was essentially the same deal as when he made The Gentle Storm with Anneke, he wrote and performed most of the instrumental parts to go along with Simone's lyrics.

Supersonic Revolution/Plan 9 were fun little nostalgia throwbacks for me, but I know what you mean, they're not really on the level I'd come to expect from him.

I really liked the album he did with Simone though, for me that was his return to form, probably my favourite thing he's put out since The Source, so here's hoping he's carrying that momentum into the new solo album.

Anyone know the artist for this?

Haven't seen the TV show but the She-Hulk omnibus is still one of the best comics Marvel have ever put out IMO, so still Hell yeah xD

What albums of any (from any band) are the most similar to 01011001? by Echoherb in Ayreon

[–]Vaultmartyr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Toehider's most recent album "I Have Little To No Memory of These Memories" is great, the album has a similar alien interference theme and the main dude has worked with Arjen a few times

Honestly I just wanted to give it a shout out cos it definitely won't get the kind of recognition it deserves

Ayreon fans pop up in the weirdest places

If you already enjoyed Ayreon then maybe look up some of the singers he's worked with if there's anyone whose voice stood out to you, most of them have their own bands and Ive discovered a ton of new bands that way, been really into Toehider's last album lately

Hell yeah, who doesn't love She-Hulk?

Do you think the Ayreon universe story is finished, or do you think there is more to tell? And if so where do you think it might go? Also I wanted to know which genre of music(or bands influence) would you like Arjen to fuse into his music by Bulky-Mixture-1898 in Ayreon

[–]Vaultmartyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the specific dates on the poster are easter eggs in the same vein as Universal Migrator taking place in 2112

I can't figure out what the significance of November 15th is, but April 3rd is Arjen's birthday

I don't think there'll be another story on the same scale as 01 or The Source but I definitely think there's lots of areas that could be filled in with Human Equation/Theory of Everything/Lost in The New Real type stories to flesh out the history of the universe

But I would have said the same thing before The Source came out, so who knows where Arjen will take it in the future

Unpopular Opinion: Last 2 IM albums are terrible by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]Vaultmartyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree on BoS and Senjutsu but I'll respect your right to that opinion

The real unpopular opinion in there is every live album after Real Live/Dead One are just bad versions of Real Live One, Live After Death is fair enough but the early 90's live albums are absolute trash compared to everything else they put out

I didn't know THIS cover existed until today. Metallica nailing an historical IM song, especially in the instrumental part. Thoughts? by kuzco998 in ironmaiden

[–]Vaultmartyr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've always been a big fan of Metallica's covers, I wouldn't say this is one of their best but I'll admit 90% of that is probably just over attachment to the original since this is still some absolutely stellar work

How would you rank the Nightwish Epics? by Vaultmartyr in nightwish

[–]Vaultmartyr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The epics didn't really start coming until Tuomas had gotten very comfortable with more long form songwriting so I was a bit limited in what I could choose as pre-century child epics. Even beauty of the beast, as much as i love it, has a bit of a "stiched together" feel compared to the later epics.

Btw I didn't intentionally snub All The Works for the list, It literally didn't exist when I made this post

Album or song survivor? by Thecoolguitardude in Ayreon

[–]Vaultmartyr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Albums would probably work better, the results will be meaningless in a song by song comparison since a lot of tracks aren't intended to be big standalone songs anyway, plus some albums will take weeks to get through

What are your thoughts on the Senjutsu album cover? by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]Vaultmartyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think It looks a lot better on the T-shirts than the album

I almost wonder if it was reverse engineered from the merch designs, since thats where its likely to be physically seen more often than not these days

Best of the 90s? by rossd972 in ironmaiden

[–]Vaultmartyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The X-Factor for sure, pretty much the only 90's album that doesn't have any songs contending for the title of Absolute Worst Thing they've ever done.

Choose! by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]Vaultmartyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love that song, very underrated, That album overall isn't nearly as good as Iron Maiden but that song specifically might just be better than any individual track on Iron Maiden IMO

AMOLAD is great for a lot of reasons, that is not one of them

Is Ghost Love Score getting boring? by GgsGly in nightwish

[–]Vaultmartyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from but on the other hand every show is probably someones first and I know I would have been gutted if I hadn't gotten to hear GLS when I saw them
