I thought it sounded somewhat grounded for their standards. Some new elements for sure but overall the first time I came out of a Haken album thinking "that sounded like your typical Haken album". Maybe that's a controversial opinion?  :lol

I for one think it doesn't sound anything like the old Haken. Feels like a different band to me.

Doesn't sound like old Haken, but it sounds like a followup to The Mountain. Conversely, The Mountain sounded like a total change in direction from Visions.

I really disagree...but to each their own. I thought every album was different, but a natural progression from the previous album. Affinity seemed like a complete left turn to me. But in a good way.

The Mountain was tighter and sonically different.

Well they were 'bound by gravity'. I like the mountain more, but affinity is solid.

FANTASTIC SHOW!!!!

I couldn't believe how wild the crowd was for a Tuesday! There was a big mosh pit for nearly every song. Ross was even moved to exclaim, "Wow! You guys are a wild bunch, aren't you?"  :metal

Great set. Minor sound issues. Band was tight and really got into the energy of the crowd.

I got to meet everyone but Diego briefly. Everyone was awesome. Thank You Scientist was really awesome as well. There were a surprising amount of supporters and a few new converts.

I was really blown away at how much Ross has improved his stage presence. Older videos just show him being the singer, but now he's much more of "a frontman". But the whole band was on fire IMO.

I just looked at the Comcast home page and there is a video about a dying star tearing planets apart and immediately thought of Hakens affinity album.

Lots of great lyrics on this cd.

Just a heads-up, it's november again, which means the annual Haken Survivor is starting in Polls & Survivors. I posted the intro post in the Results&Discussion. Let's do this once again. I'll post the first actual poll tomorrow at around this time.

I might just check them out again when they go to Amsterdam. Hope they are included in the batch of free concerts for Melkweg members, I know BTBAM and Protest the Hero were and Haken aren't much bigger so there's a chance I could enter for free :corn

I hope that since this is no longer the AffiniTour they play a more balanced set, I like Affinity but would love to see some more Aquarius love next time around.

I'm pretty sure Haken aren't nearly as big as BTBAM, or PTH for that matter.

I can't say for sure, but all I know is I've been to both shows last year, and Haken was way more packed than BTBAM/PTH. Neither had an absolutely massive crowd though.

Well going by Facebook followers, BTBAM and PTH both have nearly 5 times as many followers as Haken. Not sure how much that actually reflects how 'big' they are.

More to the point though, Haken are infinitely better than BTBAM and PTH (and I do like both of those bands)

You guys are probably right, I do not have any ground to judge these band's popularity outside of the information I have been given since I only know a handful of fans of these bands in person. So I assumed a concert's turnout was the most accurate way of telling, but facebook likes is probably more accurate.

Nonetheless, I like them both way better than Haken but that's just me :lol and since I am in the vast minority here I will just keep my mouth shut and continue the actual Haken discussion. Very likely going to that Melkweg show, should be good!

Really hope they do some dates in America around ProgPower this go around with this type of set. I was tentatively looking at attending ProgPower again, but now September has other interests in store...

Not too thrilled about the remasters. Bogren's full remix of Remedy Lane is interesting, but I don't see much potential in simply remastering albums that had decent masters to begin with

I don't think so. My understanding of the announcement is that they are being released separately as DIFFERENT 2CD versions, where the second disc on each is an instrumental version of the album (like they did on Affinity). Personally I don't really have any interest at all in that second disc, but there you go.
