Red Giant vs. Lapse was really tough.  I think both songs are criminally underrated; both are top 5 songs from that album, IMO (along with 1985, The Architect and Bound by Gravity).

Edit: Shoot, I forgot about Earthrise.  :facepalm:  Well, those six songs are all great.  The other two songs aren't nearly as good as any of those.

Aquarium should be kicking the crap out of Initiate.

I don't either.  Of the other 35 songs from this contest, there are only a few I would rank lower (Eternal Rain, Darkest Light, Earthlings and maybe Nocturnal Conspiracy).  Heck, even Cockroach King is better.

Red Giant vs. Lapse was really tough. 

It is actually; couldn't decide between those two, and neither between Pareidolia and Celestial Elixir.. They're far from being my favorites btw..


-Best songs :hefdaddy: Initiate and The Endless Knot..

When I first started listening to Haken, Pareidolia was the song I liked the most.  Now, while I still like it, it wouldn't be among my 10 favorites by the band.

Celestial Elixir, meanwhile, is still their best song to date (certain days I think Vision is, but most days I go with CE).

-Best songs :hefdaddy: Initiate and The Endless Knot..

If by that, you actually mean, "The two least best songs from Affinity are easily Initiate and The Endless Knot," then I agree.  :biggrin:
