1. Pareidolia
2. In Memoriam
3. Somebody / Nobody
4. Falling Back To Earth
5. Because It's There
6. Cockroach King
7. - 9. whatever order

Cockroach King is a fine song ruined by atrocious vocals. A shame really since the instrumental parts are amazing.

I don't think making an album where the least best song is better than Cockroach King, which I still find annoying as hell*, will be difficult.

*Vocally; musically, it is fine, but man oh man, those vocal melodies are cringeworthy.
cockroach king is like top 3 on the mountain but ok

I'd say top 1, but who's keeping score?
I am, and I'll confirm the top 1.

No, Nick.  Falling Back to Earth or GTFO.

Nick, is Hen's visa issue resolved since he had to enter the States to board?  Or did he use another way to enter the country?  I have no idea how international travel and visas work.

Hen is ready to go for the next US tour at this time. That said, stupid things can happen with entering the US, so I would never give a 100% guarantee, but as of now, all is well.

That could be the case if it was not for Because It's There.

I guess you could say that Cockroach King is not there yet  :coolio... :emo:

Nope, it's the regular version.  The vocals are too cartoonishly laughable for my ears.

The vocals on CK are pretty goofy, but they're also really fun and I enjoy them very much.

Of the three long epics, my early thoughts are that it is close call between Crystallised and Celestial Elixir as to which is the best of them; both are pretty great to me after only a couple listens each.  Visions seems solid, but not as good.

Update:

Celestial Elixir is by far, not only the best of the three long epics, but the best song that I have heard by them thus far.

I agree, but for me, Crystallised is a close second.

Bumping this thread to acknowledge the awesomeness of the band and those working their web store. A few months ago I ordered a Charcoal Restoration shirt but it was out of stock after I had placed the order. I thought "oh well", and the time went on.

Today I got home from work and found a delivery from their web store - it was a 'Climbing The Mountain Tour 2014' shirt AND a handwritten letter to inform me that they've found an old shirt in my size to make up for the inconvenience. And a "Merry Christmas from HAKEN".

Celestial Elixir is, indeed, amazing... but I wouldn't put it on the same level as Visions or Crystallised.

That's odd, I'll give it a couple more spins then. I had only heard Visions before and I found The Mountain to lack everything I like about Visions which was very rich in instrumental composition to me, The Mountain felt very vocals-oriented.

This is one of the albums I'm most excited about this year.

The Mountain is still fresh, inspired and amazing to my ears. I can't wait to see how they plan in topping that one.

So, I've had some insights on the direction they're taking the new album in, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to say what they are. They definitely intrigue me though!

And great to see that Jens Bogren is producing again, the man is amazing.

Pretty sure they're not, they're just calling it that as a working title like pretty much all bands do. I think they did something similar with HAK3N, i.e. The Mountain.

Yeah, just like the working title of the Cockroach King was Hacock. #RealFact

This article from Prog names Haken's fourth album as Verbatim.

(If that's the case, this thread should be renamed "Verbacontim". Calling it now.)

That would be a really good album title though. Very proggy, and very Haken.
