Holy smokes this is such a great album. Definetely contender of progrock album of the year.

This has been knocked down a couple of spots by some recent releases, but it's still likely to land in my year end top 5. Just a brilliant progressive rock/metal album.  :metal

Gave it a listen today. I love Damian Wilson's voice, but I think it needs some time. It wasn't doing anything particularly mind-blowing on my first listen.
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

That's how it was for me... and then it just got better every single listen.

Wilson's voice is somewhat like it or hate it, but he's managed to really display his diversity on this one.
I also admire the lyrical content, is has a depth to it you seldom hear anymore. '...and the moment it started, I lost hope'. It just breathes an ominous feeling from the start and rather dealing with the violent acts itself, focusses on the human side of living in a warlike enviroment.  And the beginning of the last song The big day is breathtaking, vocally. I'm seeing them live on 4-9, btw.  :metal

Finally got this in the mail today and listening for the first time.  Really loving it so far, and I haven't even hit Daddy Fucking Loves You yet.

They're doing a small tour through Europe together. I'm catching them at both dates in the Netherlands.

First one was fucking awesome, Haken played Visions in full and Headspace played I am Anonymous in full. I'm expecting the exact same setlists tomorrow though. I had a chat with the Haken guys once again and talked a bit to the guys from Headspace, got my CD signed and stuff. I actually only just got home at 1:30 am.

Lucky guys, I'd love to see this tour. Haken and Headspace are two of my favorite prog metal finds of the last few years. Great bands.  :metal

Oh my God what the hell is this. I've heard Daddy Fucking Loves You on Nick's radio show and figured "oh yeah, this is kind of nice". But the entire album is. Uhm. I'm not good with words when it comes to music (ironic for someone who's supposed to review shit, right?).

GNNNNHHHHH RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH GOOOOOOD. This man's voice. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Right. I think I´m ready to do a little live review of this gig. Now, going into this, I was only familliar with the Headspace album.
Haken I hadn´t heard. I thought, well, Haken are probably the headline act, So I´ll just watch Headspace and then split.
Boy was I wrong. Haken was first on the bill and they utterly, and totally blew me away technically, melodywise and soundwise. Every single musician was on top of his game here, especially the drummer, both guitarists and keyboardist.

Big, lush arrangements on the songs, with a great singer who more than holds his own live. Definetely going to check out their both cd´s Special mention goes out to the keyboardplayer for his Super Mario break in one of the songs...you must hear it to believe it!

Headspace had some startup problems soundwise, but absolutely proved to be able to perform their album ´I am anonymous´ in a live setting. Wilson owns the stage from the moment he sets foot on it. He captivates his audiance and proves once again, to be one of the finest lead vocalists out there in Progland. He´s able to do it all, powerhouse as well as making the athmosphere very intimate with little jokes here and there. There was even a small blind girl at the front of the stage totally enjoying the show.... The entire band just played out of their skins and I predict a bright future for this band if they should continue and record a next release.   :metal :metal :metal 3 Shouts from me!

Cool review!

With regards to the bands; the Headspace guys (well actually just Adam Wakeman, who is an awesome dude to talk to!) told me they were already working on their next release, probably to be released in September next year. How or what it's going to be is difficult to tell, because all the guys in the band have other stuff going on as well and they can't really make Headspace their top priority (with for instance Wakeman also playing for Ozzy), but they love working together and playing music together, so something will come most likely.

The Haken dudes were very content with their shows and their tour and Ross Jennings (the singer) told me they would like to record a live album sometime in the future. I can't remember now whether he said something about a new album, but I believe he did. Same thing, expect something next year.

A bit off-topic: Haken's new album is no secret, they talked about it openly in interviews. Richard Henshall said a few months ago that he already had a lot of raw material written, even too much for an album.

Good luck topping Daddy Fucking Loves You, the best song with a silly title ever, though. That's a genuine classic!
