Killer solo by Michael Romeo.

Lucassen + Romeo = Mindblow²

This is my favorite one from the album. What a song!

There's something really awesome here. Forever, after callusly creating the 5th extinction for their own benefit, not really caring about the massive number of lives they ended in the process, have evolved emotionally, and now they're willing to go through so much effort, shattering physics itself, in a desperate attempt to save humanity.

4:26. That's when Michael Romeo comes in.

Einstein would approve

Remember first time listening to this great song in 2008. Still got the magic!

If only this thing (the album) had a re-release on vinyl. The only folks selling are online and secondhand for up to €180,-. I have a soft spot for this album, and it meant a lot to me throughout my painful years, right now it is on a very small list of albums I WOULD LOVE on vinyl.......this one and 10,000 by TOOL (which i love for the same reason).

"It all came to me in the wake of a dream Bending space, reversing the stream The knowledge is mine to influence time And avert our decline (we'll avert our decline) We could use this to salvage mankind Send projections into the past (telepathy time) Etch humanity's fate in their minds Let them know man won't last (It all came to me in the wake of a dream) This may be our last chance If we want man to survive A mirror reflection Show them our world as it dies Cut through the barrier And do what no one has dared Let's break the equation... E=mc² 2x Our first try was a minor success No control, I can but guess We have to move now; don't know just how No mistakes are allowed (We can make no mistakes) I have sent it but nothing changes Just a line in some ancient lore (Medieval times) I don't know just how far it ranges Everything's like before (It all came to me in the wake of a dream) This may be our last chance If we want man to survive A mirror reflection Show them our world as it dies Cut through the barrier And do what no one has dared Let's break the equation... E=mc²" 2x

Michael Romeo is unreal.... my fav guitarrist of all time!

A physicist friend told me the E=mc2 equation would have been pretty useless if broadcasted from the future. The extended version called the relativistic energy-momentum relation would have been more useful. I'm not splitting hairs, just adding an extra notch of nerdiness. :)

i still remember when i was such a little kid and got introduced to the wonderful Ayreon from a portal 2 music video best thing that ever happened to me

Lyrics in italiano: L'ispirazione mi venne al risveglio da un sogno piegando lo spazio, invertendo la corrente ho la conoscenza per influenzare il tempo ed evitare il nostro declino. Potremmo usare tutto questo per salvare il genere umano mandando una proiezione nel passato mentre l'umanità svanisce nelle loro menti fargli sapere che l'uomo non durerà L'ispirazione mi venne al risveglio da un sogno Potrebbe essere l'ultima possibilità di far sopravvivere la razza umana il riflesso di uno specchio rallenterà il nostro mondo mentre muore superando le barriere faremo quello che nessuno ha mai usato infrangiamo la legge E = mc2 Il nostro primo tentativo fu un piccolo successo nessuno controllo, ma immagino che ora sia tempo di muoversi, solo non so come non sono ammesi errori non possiamo sbagliare Ho inviato la visione ma niente è cambiato solo una linea nelle notizie di qualche nazione non so quanto lontano sia andata tutto è come prima L'ispirazione mi venne al risveglio da un sogno Potrebbe essere l'ultima possibilità di far sopravvivere la razza umana il riflesso di uno specchio rallenterà il nostro mondo mentre muore superando le barriere faremo quello che nessuno ha mai usato infrangiamo la legge E = mc2 (L'esito dell'Esperimento Finale è stato affidato alle tue mani.)

The lead up and solo at around 4 minutes may be the greatest of all time. Fits the mood so well.

This song is so good. Its criminal!

killer track lml

Listen to the warning!

It's as if they sent the message to the past and in the song The Truth is in Here Mr. L is the only one that got it and now everyone thinks he's nuts.

Pretty cool song

The song to save Earth and Humanity

Everything is energy☯️

ye3ah dude the solo, i get that hes a relativley cheap hire. but my god is that shits amazing.

In the main riff I hear a homage to the Doctor Who theme tune.

Who is the male singer (Jermain van der Bogt)or some one else??

What is 89???? What does it all mean????

Remarkable that some find the task of violating E=MC^2 more feasible and palatable than acknowledging the inequalites wg. I seriously need to revisit this album with a Marxist lens.

3 people couldn't break the equation it seems

so they sent general relativity back in time is this all a paradox

some one listen immigrant song in the intro?

Climate change

:\ i feel bad doing this but ... E=mc2 is not the complete equation
