pip65 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Love Haken and love this release announcement. Makes me quite nostalgic for when computer screens looked like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefeltner11 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm really excited. Am I wrong in remembering that I read somewhere that this is a literal successor to The Mountain? If it is, then all the more to be excited about. That album was near perfection in my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) The Mountain is the only Haken album I don't have (don't ask why; I don't have any good explanation)...so perhaps I'll get both that and the new one at once!

pip65 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 If these two singles and the reviews are anything to go be, this album's going to be awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willowroolz Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 What pip said. That instrumental section of The Endless Knot, from 2:18 onwards, is worth the buying on its own 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRushmonkey Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) What pip said. That instrumental section of The Endless Knot, from 2:18 onwards, is worth the buying on its own They really surprised me with that kind of dubstep bit but i guess i must like it since I've listened to it at least ten times I don't know if it's possible possible to top The Mountain but this album is looking pretty close. I just wish they'd announce a full UK tour. Edited April 12, 2016 by LittleRushmonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people loved it, some hated it. As long as it's not overdone and it maintains a melodic front, I welcome it with open arms. I like dubstep in small increments, sure :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willowroolz Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I've listened to Initiate once and The Endless Knot twice. Not intending to listen anymore until I have the CD in my hands so the whole album's fresh to me :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Wait until you guys hear 1985 and The Architect. [i recently reviewed Affinity for dprp.net ] Think Dream Theater, with mathematical melody. Red Giant's good too. Really, the entire album is great. I have zero prior material, and had only heard a couple songs over the years prior to the review. Honestly, checking out their older youtube stuff, it's not quite as alluring as their latest album. Affinity is just a notch better than anything I've heard online from them prior. I'm rather particular in my repeat plays, but this is *still* playing in the car and I submitted the review earlier in the week.

stoopid Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) "Falling Back to Earth" from The Mountain is really good. I though the roach song was clever, very King Crimson inspired (also similar flavor to the mid-section The Architect). May take a few more listens to the Mountain until I'm hooked, it's been a slow burner. There's a touch more pop-Prog than I like but there's still also a healthy mix of heavier stuff, just like on Affinity.

willowroolz Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Affinity. Holy crap. If someone had told me, when I first saw Haken supporting Riverside back in 2007(?), that they'd produce something this awesome, I'd have laughed at them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
