Haken Survivor Main Thread

And we're back! I hope everybody had good holidays, I surely did. Even though I saw some activity in other survivors I wouldn't have had the time to create threads with all the family gatherings I had to attend. So, here we go again, with a tie-breaker round, since the last one ended in a tie between the two shortest songs left (what a surprise!).

Knock one song out of the tournament, you know the drill. The top three will surely continue, either in Consolation or in the Finals.

24 hours, as always.
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:

Good song, but TEK is better.

Because I wub the dubstep section of Endless Knot, I'm voting for Earthrise.

That electro-section bit actually sounds so lifeless but when it turns into that guitar riffy it becomes great

Earthrise, no contest. Oh and I guess I'll do one of these now that I can rank them:


1. Initiate
2.
3.
4. Red Giant
5. Earthrise
6.
7. Bound By Gravity
8. Lapse

people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

Earthrise is amazing.. But yeah, TEK is better..

The song has everything I like from Haken: a nice start, good verse melodies, great choruses, innovation that excites -I don't mean the car ;D but the electronic part, which I like-, an awesome solo, a section that stand outs of the classic estructure of a common song, and we even have that pretty ambient section before the final chorus..

Not the best song on that album because Initiate and The Architect exist, but easily a top 5 of the entire catalogue.. :metal

As much as I love Earthrise, The Endless Knot is a sick song

Regarding this survivor; I'm planning to have this running in full again from next Monday. In the past two weeks I've only been home 2 evenings, so I've been very busy. I'm back home on the 2nd of January and I'll properly resume it then. Have a good night tonight on New Year's Eve!
