In 2013 Ayreon released its eighth album, The Theory Of Everything. The album features Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Steve Hackett and John Wetton, among others. Lucassen says he worked with singers he had never worked with before, and he has a rule that singers must come to his Netherlands home to record.

The Theory Of Everything is a new story exploring themes closer to home, unlike the previous epic about Planet Y. The 2008 album 01011001 had 16 guests. Lucassen and Lori collaborated on lyrics for the first time on this album.

Lucassen says there are no real choruses on the album and that he tried a completely new approach to songwriting for it. Lucassen does not go on tour.
