This one is only mildly easier.

wtf

Nocturnal Conspiracy

wtf

I voted Portals but it's a toss up between that and Premonition. Nocturnal Conspiracy is my Top 2.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

The Mind's Eye, easily. Like Sun on Aquarius, it's outclassed by everything else on the album.

I'd be shocked to see Nocturnal Conspiracy eliminated in the first round. I didn't expect it to be anyone's least favorite.

I'm just as surprised as you guys. It would have stood a chance had the rest of you voted for Portals. But noooo!  :biggrin:

I honestly think Nocturnal Conspiracy might be the all time worst Haken song alongside Darkest Light.

Wow I didn't know it was so disliked.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

There is NOTHING anyone (that I know of) “dislikes” about this album.

Most Haken albums are like trying to pick which one of your fingers to chop off.

You're all crazy. Nocturnal Conspiracy is a top 10 maybe even a top 5 song.
Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.   ;D

One of the toughest things about this album is the Mind’s Eye/Portals/Shapeshifter trilogy. If taken together, it is absolutely the most sublime thing on the entire album without question and possibly a top 3 all time Haken moment. But the individual parts probably don’t quite hold up as well in a situation such as this survivor.  But I never listen to them separately, so I’m going to have a difficult time voting for any of them.
