Ayreon is so AMAZING!!

Ayreon is the brainchild of the incredible Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Ayreon, since about 1997, has been a series of rock operas that have had the same consistent storyline, it's amazing that's he's had all of this story planned since he began producing. His latest is 01011001, and it came out this year.. but you haven't experienced Ayreon until you have all the albums, and that's precisely why within the past month, I've focused my online energy to getting every CD, including the out-of-print singles! The regular albums are hard enough (not to mention expensive) to find! I have yet to see one in person in a store here in America (and that's why I love eBay). I believe my favorite album is "Into the Electric Castle" and I'm actually currently working on a picture for it.

And also, it's not just Arjen performing on the albums, one of the main appeals of his project is his use of guest vocalists, for example: Floor Jansen, Simone Simons, and Anneke van Giersbergen, from some of my favorite bands!

In other news, I'm turning 21 in less that two months!!! I can't wait! I'm going to have my birthday party at my favorite Japanese Restaurant, and then have the afterparty at my house in our new pool! It's going to be so much fun!

That's all for now!
