I was always here, my evolved brethren.
At any rate how’d Haken get a photo of my great grandphather?

Haken are a great band, but I feel they've going downhill for a while. The performance is still top-notch, but it doesn't seem to have the... bling-bling (?) it used to.

This is pretty entertaining in most parts and I got some Gojira vibes here and there. Some unnerving simpler moments keep me from enjoying this fully though. Taurus is my favorite song here.
I like the idea and art style on the album cover.

I honestly didn't care for the singles on their own, but after listening to the album, I realized that this was one of those albums that sounds better played together than the songs sound on their own
What I found more ironic about that is that this is a rare occasion where a Haken album ISN'T a concept album.

What an absolutely fantastic album! Has potential to dethrone The Mountain as my favorite of their albums.
Edit: It has.

Tbh if you compare it to their other album ratings on MS this should be at least an 8.3

Yeah it makes no sense for it to be their lowest rated album.

Really enjoying this album, certainly my favourite of theirs. I'm surprised by the overall low rating it has received thus far on MS, but clearly not as preferred as the rest of their discography by the masses here.

Other than Taurus and Elephant Never Forget which are great songs, I really didn't enjoy this one that much.

This is their best album since Affinity.
Haken brings back much of the progressive originality that was lost during the Vector/Virus era, when they were in danger of sounding like just another technical metal band. The production quality has been stepped up a notch as well. Their virtuosic musicianship is phenomenal as always.

The instrumentals and vocals are fantastic in this album, and right up there behind Mountain and Affinity. It def does seem like they brought their creativity back around. But I can't say I'm a big fan of the lyrics, of which I haven't been very crazy about for all the albums after Affinity

Great prog record, I can't say if it's their best it's probably not but the songwriting is still fantastic, it has such an uplifting sound, it's very well crafted, and the musicianship is wonderfully performed.
Again plenty of influences I hear from Tool and Dream Theater to Yes, but "Elephants Never Forget" screams out Gentle Giant to me.

Haken has Hakened out a truly Hakenish album. Sempiternal Beings, Lovebites and Eye of Ebony and quintessential Haken songs.
