Album Notes & Community Reviews

As Arjen Anthony Lucassen's second project under the Ayreon moniker, this record notably diverges from the interconnected sci-fi narratives of his other releases. 'Actual Fantasy' functions as a standalone collection of computer-driven, synthesizer-heavy progressive metal exploring individual mythological and cinematic tales.
