Ayreon - The Sixth Extinction (2 of 2)

[GameSpazzer]

I would like to thank this song for making me a metal fan. That is all.

[thenight3d]

ok if you have head phones then try to here a echo

[richtier]

so, does this mean no one could prevent the human's extinction?

[AvocadoRogue]

@richtier

Seems so... depressing, huh? But what's this business with the 'migrator soul' and completing the "Circle?" 

[richtier]

@AvocadoRogue if you heard the "universal migrator" both parts, it is revealed that the last human alive used the "dream sequencer" in order to send visions to the past and warn the humanity about this, but as we all know, it wont work, humanity will extinct anyways, so he goes further in the past, even before the big bang, when the first soul was born, he joins the first soul in a travel in the space to reach the earth, the first sould couldn't make it and he then becomes the...

[richtier]

@AvocadoRogue he becomes the "universal migrator" so he completed the circle, the last human alive, became the first soul of humanity...

[AvocadoRogue]

@AvocadoRogue

Upon a bit of reflection, I do not think that this is the "end" however. The impression this gives me, is that this "migrator soul" is something like a newborn "Forever" (similar the vocalists), and from his human experience has 'answers' that the others do not. For this reason, they seem to be competing to persuade him to their sides, either to create new life and try again, or abandon the pursuit...

[richtier]

@AvocadoRogue remeber the "Forevers" are from "Planet Y" they are inmortal and has almost unlimited knowledge and power, like "Into the Electric Castle" they can manipulate space and time, and this "migrator soul" is just a human using the "dream sequencer", although it is an interesting theory, i don't think it's totally true, besides, what do you mean with "answers"?

[1pa2ch]

@richtier What do you mean by 'totally true' - of course it isn't, Arjen made that up... PLEASE, people, don't start talking about this as if it was real. It's great music (probably some of the greatest tracks ever), but it's not historic fact or anything like that.

[ochomilcuatro]

Epic ending.

[l3mp3]

3.24...when hansi brings the real power....daniel, tom and hansi...its like a dream...

[Brunstead]

Nice to hear Hansi Kursch on this track.

[alma20vomastek]

masterpiece,this is what Arjen's music is:).this song is epic.

[wontoe25]

i heard about this band in holland, its a dutch band, so that was really great, they have a lot of really good albums, with great singers featuring in them. i really love this band, and espicially this song

[kathyyyyyyyyy]

@wontoe25 It's not actually a band, it's one person.

[OCPDaveL]

Keyboard solo made my head asplose.

[rockster07]

holy shit.. 8 vocalists and every single one is amazing... just the range that they have is astounding. each and every one of these guys is better than most other people ive heard. seriously, i think my ears just came.

[DevilWilliam8]

best keyboard solo ive ever heard

[taxi911]

i agree!!!

[icedragon769]

This is the music of the future.

The pop genre is driving itself into the ground, people are getting bored, moving back to the good music like prog, jazz and classical music. Soon the pop music companies will go under and this will be all thats left and the world will be a better place.

People wouldn't steal music and ruin the industry if the music was good like this!

[Thystonius]

Absolutely, I learned about Ayreon by youtube, but got all the albums :-) and Star One. I don't mind spending 250 euro on music of this amazing quality.

[Adultguj]

I'm not sure but do I hear Nightwish's vocalist at the end? If so, she sure as hell didn't spend a lot of time in the studio for one line!

[pengudeus]

You're probably hearing Floor Jansen

[Adultguj]

Could be, in that case she sound very alike!

[RedTideOfWolves]

Perfect ending for a perfect Arjen's project

[LSofACO]

Fantastic ending to a great album, and great performances from all the vocalists! It's a shame youtube made you split it in two. :/

[tegneren33]

I love Jørn's voice!

[metabog]

Man that Steve Lee is a monster.

[Moony1397]

Anneke van Giersbergen was The Gathering's vocalist. Great band that one, I didn't recognize either, and her voice is amazing. =)

I'm so glad I found Ayreon while I was 12 (I'm 13), and I'm sure I'll cherish these masterpieces until I'm gone. At the pace music industry is going, I wonder if in the future there will be any great and quality music such as Ayreon, even though for me every music has it's own beauty. Ayreon is an amazing Project, and they are simply Over Epic. =D

Ayreon Forever! =D

[AlexLococo]

great music isn't for ages

but someone that young would be litsening to things quite crap (i used to litsen to linkin park when i was your age, and i said people that didn't like them are gay for that, now i feel gay for saying that)

ayereon is great epic and progressive

not many bands do that in a row

[Moony1397]

Turned 14 last month, still addicted like before. :P (and by some twisted coincidence, I'm listening to Guilt Machine at the moment. after weeks of not listening to Arjen's projects or similar... o_O)

"but someone that young would be litsening to things quite crap" Hence why I am glad I found Ayreon before crap mainstream took over. ;)

I like Linkin Park, but I respect others' taste in music, even if sometimes it bothers me, which unfortunately happens a great lot.

Haha, too right. :D

[AlexLococo]

yeah

unfortunately and fortunately, the greatness of the progressive genere is that there are NO bands that sound alike (except when dealing with mathcore, although some bands are quite unique)

every band is in the same genere, no one plays the same shit of the other, that on of many reasons why i like it, but the problem is like when you say "i wanna hear something similar" you can't find it

you can hear something similar to nightwish, morbid angel or metallica, but not from this

[jibber102]

Is it just me, or are the singers better on this album than the Human Equation? ( except LaBrie is awesome and he's on the Human Equation)

[EnochMetatron]

Well, I fucking love Eric Clayton, and Marcela Bovio, but for the most part, I think so too.

[TeeboTheMightyEwok]

I am going out on a limb here by saying

masterpiece

this is beyond epic.

[Morganzo7]

3:51 is the prettiest thing I have ever heard on any Ayreon album. It gives me the chills.

[kukundrela]

Yes! who is the female singer here????

[Morganzo7]

Anneke van Giersbergen, my favorite female vocalist.

[kukundrela]

Oh, Shit, I did not recognize her! I love her voice as well!!!! AMAZING, ASTOUNDING< ASTONISHING!

[kukundrela]

I know her, she is so pretty and talented ! The Gathering and Agua de Annique :)

[borgasi]

I came here exactly for finding who was singing this part that also gives me the chills!

Thanks!

[HellBoyDestiny]

me too!

[Battossai3000]

the guyb at the beggining is the singer from rhapsody?

[lawlbob]

Wrong album. Fabio's on Flight of the Migrator part 2.

The guy at the beginning is the mighty Jørn Lande!

[hippiefreestyle]

Make us whole.. Migrator soul.. Follow you home.. Complete the Circle.. We must survive.. Restore our lives.. Always be sure Complete the circle!! Send back visions..Into the past.. Of war and decay.. I lear the final cries..... We ARE the future.. We are the pain.. Complete the Circle!!

[AV85]

Actually, it's "The way I'll show" and not "Always be sure" ;)

[hippiefreestyle]

^^ smuack..

[HellBoyDestiny]

Jorn Lande is awesome,I fuckin love the "Complete the Circle" part!!!

[metal666king]

epic!!! hands down the best song on 01011001

[Altairograph]

Definetely, one of the best ending parts ever!

[omunae]

Love this song, the keyboardist reminds me a lot of Kevin Moore when he was in Dream Theater.

[daniel27ad]

@omunae Well, he's not kevin, he's Derek =)

[KnivesNinja]

I love the heavily emotional keyboard solo. Gives some heart to the song...and EPICNESS!!!!11one!!juan!!

[JornLande310]

at  4:24 its awesome

[ShadeXH]

The vocal harmony is just about the best thing ever

[Saga667]

the final scream of jorn lande was amazing

[Nephin79]

Can't wait to hold the limited edition in my hands.:)
