^ I was being sarcastic. It sounds like the reason you stopped listening to him is that he keeps doing what he does best. That's all I was saying, basically.

Not what I meant. How did you get that from my words?!  Arjen can do whatever he wants. I am just not going to listen anymore. I thought my post was clear. I quit on the artist, the artist can do whatever he wants.

Well, Arjen can do what he likes... unlike Cristi, as you'll probably remember, I actually never found a single Ayreon album I enjoyed and have just listed about 10 from 2004 that I preferred greatly. It's actually an odd one, because I thought the Guilt Machine album was quite reasonable as was the first Stream Of Passion which he was involved in, but never Ayreon or Star One I'm afraid.

So Arjen should stop doing what he's uniquely qualified to do ... I guess it's one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" things

Oddly, as much as I loved Perfect Element and RL, I could never really get my head around 'Be'... it was just one of those bemusingly disappointing affairs. I'm sorry, but I never liked Mastodon at all... did try at the time, but they just weren't for me. I'll get back to you with 2004 releases of this ilk I would have included. Therion: Lemuria/ Sirius B... no list could be complete without this. Angra: Temple Of Shadows (their best) Abydos..... Prog-metal perfection if you ask me Mind Key: Journey Of A Rough Diamond (really enjoyed this one-ff at the time) Evergrey: The Inner Circle Andromeda: Extension Of A Wish - Final Ext Nightwish: Once Dead Soul Tribe: The January Tree yes, I'd have voted for any of those... I think Therion might have nicked it, with Abydos and Threshold in joint second??

I used to like them, but their last few albums made me quit on the band altogether. Arjen also repeats the same formula over and over, it's become tedious, well, at least for me. I can't even listen to the albums i used to like (i.e. Into the Electric Castle). His other projects are not better.

Conversely, I'm genuinely bemused by the enduring unpopularity of Ayreon. No one in my local village has even heard of Ayreon.

Mastodon just for the insane drumming and for not being a crap dinosaur ( I used to make the mistake of thinking they were named after one
)
