Now we're moving to Ayreon's third album, Into the Electric Castle, one of the more popular albums by Arjen! There are seventeen songs in the poll, including the intro track and the spoken track near the end of the record; three songs will go straight to the Finals, the fourth will join the Consolations. And with that, it's time for Round 1 to begin.

The deadline for this round is 48 hours.

Had to relisten again and take notes, such an album is difficult to remember properly.

I vote for Forever of the Stars, the most uneventful intro out of the two.

[Scorpion]

Yeah, Forever.

[Train of Naught]

This album is honestly one big blur for me, and I don't like it nearly enough to properly rank it given the length and amount of songs on here. /Train out

I'll come back after some rounds when it has been trimmed down a bit.

[Adami]

Forever of the stars.

First two votes will be easy, after that will be more difficult.

[Kwyjibo]

Welcome but forever is okay also.

This is where this really gets interesting 

When ranking this album for the predictions I realised how much I like this album. It's easily one of my fave Ayreon albums. Some great songs on here but ranking the ones at the bottom is more difficult.

[Crow]

Yeah the album is a bit overlong but a lot of the songs are great

I wonder, is Amazing Flight a well-liked song? I always turned the album off when it got to it because I can't stand it that much.

It's top half of the album for me.

Damn, this album is actually really good. Most of the songs have something about them that I really like.

[Scorpion]

Amazing Flight has Arjen's hippy, which is weird, but other than that, I really like it. It's probably my #3 song on the album.

Forever
