This is album is awesome! I can't stop listening to it. My favourites right now are 1985 and Earthrise but everything on Affinity is magical in a way only Haken can pull off.

1985, holy hell. It's my favourite right now - and a Top 5 Haken song.

It's funny, people are ranking lapse rather low and I think it's one of my favorites on the album. That chorus is really powerful. But to each his own I suppose.

I feel that way about Red Giant.

Maybe a dumb q but should I expect the album tomorrow if I preordered it? Never preordered anything before and CM Distro hasn't given me a tracking # yet.

I was JUST ABOUT to address the exact same issue!

I don't know what's going on...but I've got a double whammy because I ordered as a guest (I was not signed in to any CM Distro account) and it let me pay thru my PayPal account without signing into to CM Distro.   So....no account = no email confirmation and no tracking number.

But now there's a bigger problem.   PayPal is saying that my transaction was processed by TheCenturyFamily, Inc.    I tried sending an email to the contact address provided and it was immediately kicked back to me as being a non-existent address.  So I tried the given phone number....that was also non-existent.    So I went to the website and created an account and tried to send a contact message...but it won't send.   It says to click on the "airplane" icon, but when you do that, nothing happens. 

So....transaction processed, but no way to contact anyone.   What.....the.....crap????

EDIT!!! - Update....the contact message *DID* go through.  After hitting the icon, you then have to hit "send"   DOH!!!

Having the ".exe" in the title isn't going to fuck with the sound file in my computer as long as I have the ".mp4" or whatever afterward, is it? I don't want to rip the album just to find the first track won't play because the computer reads it as an executable file.  :lol

:rollin You'll be fine. It's the last extension that matters.

I mean, really, I should know better, but still. Made me raise an eyebrow.  :lol

I'm going to go with 4 tiers. I don't know how to rank this album, but it's not Haken's best one (it is The Mountain, in case you had any doubt  ;D).

God: 1985
Great: The Architect, Initiate
Good:  Lapse, Earthrise, Red Giant, The Endless Knot
Meh: Bound by Gravity

Great and good tiers could perfectly change, though.

Checking out the instrumental version of the album, and it's actually rather cool. The album is that much more delicate and coherent that it works really well as a sort of post-rock/post-metal album. I normally have no interest in instrumental versions of albums, but this one is not bad.

One thing I noticed (even more than before) when I listened to the instrumental version is how damn good this album sounds. The production is so good it makes me sad.

I'm rarely alone in the car these days, but I hope I will be soon so I can rock and try to sing along with the instrumental versions.

I'm just now finishing my listen of the whole album.  Incredible.  What an legitimately enjoyable listen, both in regards to content and production.  Of all the newer prog bands out there, I really think Haken is the top, at least for now.

I`m on second listen and I`m astonished amazed. My favourites at this point are 1985 (pure genius), The Architect (not as great as Falling Back to Earth or Crystallized, but still fantastic) and The Endless Knot (great modern metal track).

Listening for the second time right now. I'm really a huge fan. It's like they asked me what aspects of their sound are my favorite, and then did exactly all of my favorite things. This isn't much better than I was expecting, as the singles really set the bar high imo, but it's still surprised me frequently with how well done it is.

Gave the album another full spin today. I think I might be able to rank it based on my first impressions (first 5 listens):

1. 1985
2. The Endless Knot
3. Earthrise
4. Initiate
5. Red Giant
6. The Architect (kind of a let down at first, but it's slowly growing on me)
7. Lapse
8. Bound By Gravity (this one is gonna need a lot more listens before I appreciate it more)

All the tracks are really strong though. This might be my favourite Haken album so far, since I don't feel the urge to skip any tracks unlike the other three albums. (looking at you Cockroach King and Atlas Stone)

10:17 of The Architect sounds like it was taken straight from an Opeth song.
