I just gave Charlie's solo album a listen and I'm pleasently surprised. The first two singles didn't resonate with me, "Arctic Cemetery" reminded me too much of BTBAM and "Tiktaalika" felt like a riff showcase without musical flow. I was worried that this was Charlie's aim with this solo project and that the whole album would be like that, and boy was I wrong. The album is diverse and flows beautifully from start to finish. The track "Tiktaalika" is placed near the end and with the rest of the album in the back of your head, it works really well as a retrospective and breather before the finale.Anyway, don't sleep on this album.
Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.
I be am boner inducing.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
I am in the middle of a pretty heavy studying phase for an exam right now so I don't have the time to listen to any music I'm looking forward to hearing this one though!!! I'm curious, how do Charlie's lead vocals sound?
Just listened to Charlie's new album, and I liked it a lot. Very heavy, and very proggy, with a lot of energy. 10 pounds of fun in a 5 pound bag.
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.

I've listened to the album twice and it's actually really really good. I'm kind of pleasantly surprised by the quality of the songwriting... I don't know, I think I underestimated Charlie's skills as Richard was always the main songwriter on Haken.
Just had my first listen to Tiktaalika and really enjoyed it
Jumping on the hype wagon for Tiktaalika. This is a fantastic album Definitely wears its influences on its sleeve. I hear Megadeth, Metallica, BTBAM, Dream Theater, and parts of it sound like if King Crimson wrote a Thrash Metal album.
Charlie's album deserves a thread of its own. Amazing playing and one hell of a ride from front to back. So many cool parts and killer riffs!

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

I absolutely love Prosthetic. It’s a great tune!
