I've listened to a lot of Ayreon, but really find them quite hard to get into. I can never remember a single song. Human Equation? Into the Castle? Accelerator? See - I can't even remember the names of the albums, and I've listened to many of them. I see them as a kind of Dream Theater, all flash and bang but nothing memorable. Well, that's not quite true: "Hollow Years" stuck in my memory, and there might be one other. But nothing from Aryeon. I get the feeling of a kind of vanity thing, though I could be wrong there. Maybe it's the idea, as you say, of an overarching concept across several albums.
