{{tropelist}}
''Ayreon'' includes examples of the following tropes:
* [[After the End]]: ''The Universal Migrator''
* [[Ancient Astronauts]]
Line 83 ⟶ 84:
* [[Heavy Mithril]]: They're sci-fi/fantasy.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Is that (fill in the blank) from (insert name of band here) singing about black holes? {{spoiler|Probably.}}
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: We gave them dreams, and what did they dream?
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: Ayreon in the song "Nature's Dance". It's [[Blessed with Suck|understandable]].
* [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]]: the Dream Sequencer and the machinery used in the Final Experiment.
* [[It's All About Me]]: The barbarian oh so very much.
* [[Large Ham]]:
** Both Bruce Dickinson and Jay van Feggelen (the Barbarian) come to mind. Bruce even has the line "Feed me light!"
** Steve Lee on ''01011001'' comes to mind too. "The AGE of SHAAADOWS has beguuun!!!" Particularly ironic since he's supposed to be playing a character incapable of feeling emotions.
Line 111 ⟶ 112:
* [[Somewhere a Paleontologist Is Crying]]
* [[Soprano and Gravel]]: Floor Janssen and Jonas Renske in ''01011001'', the Indian {{spoiler|and Death}} in ''Into the Electric Castle''
* [[The Stoner]]: Hippie.
* [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]]: The Forevers.
* [[Title Drop]] - ''01011001'' has a [[Title Drop]] of the previous album (almost) in "The Sixth Extinction": "We must resolve this human equation..." Voices can also be heard chanting "0...1...0...1..." in "Age of Shadows/We Are Forever" on the same album. ''Actual Fantasy'' has two title drops both in "Actual Fantasy" and at the start of "Beyond the Last Horizon". ''The Final Experiment'' and ''The Universal Migrator'' also have [[Title Drop|Title Drops]]s in them.
** However, if you listen closely, (or read the lyrics,) you will find that they do not spell out the title (01011001, or Y), but rather the word "help" in ASCII binary code. The "off"/"on" part spelling "forever" is probably a better example.
* [[Touched by Vorlons]]: L
* [[Unhappy Medium]]: Ayreon and Mr. L.
* [[Unrealistic Black HoleHoles Suck]]
** Well, yeah--ityeah—it's ''singing''!
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Kamelot|Roy Khan]] had initially accepted an invitation to be a guest vocalist, but had to back out due to a minor throat injury that he did not want to agitate.
* [[World War III]]
