The Final Experiment is the debut studio album by the Dutch progressive metal project Ayreon, released in 1995. Originally released with no artist noted as Ayreon: The Final Experiment, the unexpected success of the album lead project leader Arjen Anthony Lucassen to detach the "Ayreon" name and use it as the project's name for subsequent releases at the suggestion of the record label.
