Conner typically doesn't do interviews and specifically told me he isn't good at answering the typical new album stuff, so I put those items in there to make things more comfortable for him and allow him to talk about something he can more easily express, in hopes of making the final bit about Vector go easier for him.

For those who may be interested, Haken already put on youtube 5/6 of the song Puzzle Box and the right order (from my perception) to listen to the “test subjects” is: 3, 19, 4, 17 and 9. I guess is missing only the first 1/6 of the song. Very cool and different song so far!

Just to tease you both, I must say that these 5/6 of the song already released seem like a complete song! I guess it's the beauty of prog music... ;D

Same, the whole puzzle is cool for those interested, but I just want the full song and not to play games personally.  I watched one of the videos and just figured I'd wait for it to be done.  But for everyone else that loves this stuff, that's great.  I think its cool of the band to find new ways to premiere music, especially this way which makes it feel proggy in the release too.

All 6 vids are now online. I assume they'll probably put something up that has the whole track sometime soon!

Sounds really really awesome so far!! I actually really like the atmospheric/electronic section in the middle. I can definitely hear the guitar-oriented riffs coming through as well. Almost like Affinity meets Visions.

Puzzle Box is on Spotify. Listened to it a couple times. Pretty much how I felt about the first track, solid instrumentation and the production sounds killer, but the vocals are a let down for me personally.

Gave it a listen after work. It's not as immediate as The Good Doctor, it needs a couple of listens for me to grasp it all. But a fine track nonetheless.

It's a nice track. The little instrumental in the middle throws me off a bit but the rest of the song is good.

:lol As with most of the material in the mountain, I don't enjoy when they go with prog just for the sake of prog and break the flow of the song. But since it's just a small part I think I can mostly ignore it in this song.

Had a few listens of Puzzle Box today (finally without the breaks of switching videos) and wow, what a ride. Introducing it in parts did the song a disservice IMO.

The track is top notch, I didn't even notice the absence of guitar solos until I read about it.

I really like that Haken did something a bit different structurally with Puzzle Box. They so often do some sort of chorus reprise, even after long proggy songs, that it was quite refreshing for them to do an ABABCDE structure in a way that flows well and feels tonally consistent even though themes aren't repeated (except the opening verses and choruses). I remember thinking something similar with DT's The Bigger Picture.

I am liking this song WAY more than the first one.
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

It seems that Haken are going to release a vinyl LP with the 4 L-1VE bonus tracks recorded at Prog Power!
https://www.insideoutshop.de/Item/Haken_-_L-1VE_-black_LP-CD-/16496

I don't quite understand this release but Haken is always a no brainer for me.
I just hope they will release the "actual" L-1VE on vinyl too!

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces
