While Star One is not technically a rock opera like Ayreon, it is still very much a concept album. Rather than following continuous storyline, each song is based on a different sci-fi film and tells its own story. Lucassen describes the concept of Victims Of The Modern Age as follows: "I based the songs on dystopian and post-apocalyptic sci-fi movies that have made an impression on me throughout my life”. Unlike the first Star One album Space Metal, where all the songs were set in space, this time most of the songs take place right here on Earth.
