Very unfortunate album title for the new Haken album, given the circumstances.

I liked the song, nice riffs, if it had a solo, keys or guitar, it would have been even better (for me that is). ---- I thought the two primary purposes for the internet were cat memes and overreactions.

I went to Google Play and it says it is only available for pre-order, becoming available on July 10. I'm in Australia but I thought it was released today (5 June)? - edit: just looked at their Farcebook page and found the following statement "Unfortunately, due to ongoing logistical challenges, our new album 'Virus' will now be released on July 10th." ---- The sun shines over The Fool...

I'd think of it as a two part concept. I have a pet theory that both albums are about social media, but two sides of the same coin. One individual, one societal. Loading...

metalbrat Posts: 270 From: India	+1 14.08.2020 - 20:58 Rating: 6 metalbrat Posts: 270 From: India Neither liked Vector nor Virus. Old ones were really fresh at those times and they never followed Dream theater. But in 2020, there's nothing new. ---- In the beginning I was made of clay.
