RYM is a great resource for when first getting into bands, but I also like checking to see how much I agree with other fans/general listener's rankings. Here's how RYM ranks Haken: 1. The Mountain 2. Visions 3. The Cocoon* (Henshall solo album) 4. Affinity 5. Aquarius 6. Vector / Virus (complete tie) 7. Fauna ^ looks like there's a good amount of overlap in agreement. I think higher of Vector / Virus than most others do, and less of Visions.

trollface died out by the early 2010s but for some reason latinos still love using it unironically

1.5k per month for a studio here, some other minor expenses in addition to that. this is considered "a steal" here

a few years ago i felt guilty about using amazon so much since it kills independent american retailers, but now i feel like i'm noble for using it instead of aliexpress. ...but i am also considering starting an aliexpress for certain things

apple and google are performing the worst among the mag-7 and on one hand i'm glad about that because they suck as companies, but on the other hand i'm upset i backed the wrong horse by getting apple instead of microsoft or nvidia (which is booming). tesla and amazon are chill though

Santiago looks epic

you haven't listened to their first three albums then :D Like i was alluding to in my last post about the band, it wasn't good until their fourth album "fourth dimension" when Timo joined as the lead vocalist, and then once they got Jens in as the keyboardist for the fifth album they really started to break ground.

Stratovarius is the only one I can think of which has been around for a long time (late 80s) and their best albums have been from 2011 onward. I'll admit some of their absolute best songs are from the earlier years, but when it comes to making good full-length albums Elysium, Nemesis, and Eternal are all amazing. What's also interesting about the band is that none of the band members are original band members - they even lost their main songwriter Tolkki in 2008 (this is the real reason their music has been a lot better since then, lol), the two longest standing band members now are Jens and Timo who have been in the band since 1994/1995, and they are a key reason as to why the band began to see success. It's cool that the band is all about the merit of the musicians and you can tell they're passionate about the practice, you have a 60 y/o keyboardist, 54 y/o lead vocalist, 46 y/o bassist, 40 y/o lead guitarist, and the drummer is in his early 30s. It's like they're a family of older/younger brothers.

it's because he still has the hair, that's the secret
-
if we're talking age of the members then personally I'd say it depends on the genre, and vocalists seem to get aged out faster than musicians.

I think it's impressive that they're doing what they do in their 70s, my grandpa is just a very disagreeable person

cool, that's on my birthday If you are not going to be in the path of the total eclipse, you can still see a portion of the eclipse. In Northern California when the eclipse reaches its max at 11:15 a.m. PDT, it will look like someone took a bite out of the sun with about two-thirds still visible. ^ i'll take a couple glances :)
