Ayreon Survivor — Actual Fantasy — Round 3
« on: January 31, 2017, 12:19:33 PM »
Actual Fantasy (1996)

Round 2 Results:

Farside of the World - 6 (85,7%)
Forevermore - 1 (14,3%)

The number of people who predicted Farside of the World would finish in the Top 3: 0

Eliminated:

1.
2.

3.
4.
5.
6.
7. Farside of the World
8. Actual Fantasy



Farside of the World is out, and I suspect now that these two songs are eliminated, it's going to be fun. Let's see how Round 3 will go.

The deadline for this round is 48 hours.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

I'm not sure what other people think about this album, so this next vote may seem a bit reckless, but I think it's well-deserved. The verses on this song are especially awful. I'm going with

The Stranger from Within

These first two albums are a bit difficult for me 'cause I have clear favorite(s), but on the rest I'm quite undecided.

Guess I'll pick Computer Eyes.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Forevermore, although I'm probably shooting me in my own foot because I think I predicted this song to be in the top 3. But on seriously relistening to it, it just isn't that good.
Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.   ;D

Evermind should I get that flaming row album

I'm seriously considering it because I've liked it when I listened to it but 1. It's long and there's probably some filler 2. I worry the cheesiness will grate on me with relistens

also I hope forevermore doesn't go out I like that one a fair bit. Tbh i put it at 3 on the album but I'd probably put it at 2 now if I redid the list

With anyone else I would've probably said yes, but with you I'd say no. You'll listen to it a few times and then you'll put it on the shelf, because of the reasons you mentioned.

I've got to say, though, I have this album and I'm very happy with it.
