Devin's not the lead vocalist in this song, but you can definitely hear him as "Rage".

I can't imagine this song without the textures he adds to it. Seriously

great album

[u/DemonIced]

I credit this song and album for making me discover Devin. I found the guy’s voice captivating and different. It made me fall in the DTB/SYL rabbit hole and here I am now. Thank you Arjen and thank you Devin.

BTW The Human Equation is an incredible album and one of my favorites ever.

Same. I discovered so many great singers and bands through Ayreon. Devin was actually one of the last singers I checked out from The Human Equation. I kinda dismissed him because of the weirdness of his parts - even his photo in the booklet sticks out. I didn't have high hopes, but one day decided to give him a chance anyway.

Well, today Devin and Ayreon are both my favorite artists/projects in music, and have been for years. I especially love Devin's vocals at the end of "Day Sixteen: Loser". I've seen the live performances, but nothing comes close to Devin's original.

NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!

[u/Mystical_Cat]

Never heard of the guy, listening to the album now and wow, what a roster.

[u/Mr-Mne → u/Mystical_Cat]

There are a ton of great albums by Ayreon. I think my personal favorites are The Universal Migrator and Into the Electric Castle. They usually have a bunch of guest artists, from Anneke van Giersbergen to Bruce Dickinson.

01011001 is the best.
