The HAKEN Survivor 2018 - v. Aquasions Mount Finitor - Main Thread
Elite:
Back from being gone! After a year of not having had the annual Haken Survivor on DTF (we had the league ran by DoC last time around, which meant I didn't do the Haken Survivor for a change, because they would be so close together..), here it is yet again! Coinciding with Haken's new studio release, which at the time of writing this I still haven't heard, because my pre-order hasn't arrived yet, we're set out to rank all the band's songs once more.
I'm going to stick to the traditional Survivor method, in the sense that I'm not going to do an album ranking to decide how many songs off each album go to the Finals before starting with the main thing, but there will be one twist. We're doing the following albums:
- Aquarius (2010)
- Visions (2011)
- The Mountain (2013)
- Restoration (EP, 2014)
- Affinity (2016)
- Vector (2018)
- Bonus Round: Enter the Fifth Dimension (Demo 2007/2008)
From each album, the top 2 will automatically go to the Finals, while the song placed third goes to a Consolation round. From Restoration, the winner goes to the Finals, while the song in second place goes to Consolation. All the songs placed fourth on the albums will join a Play-Off, of which the winner will join Consolation. This pool of songs sends three more songs to the Finals as well. See the next post to see this in 'detail'.
The whole 'Demo Survivor' will run simultaneously with the Play-Offs/Consolation rounds and doesn't influence the rest of the Survivor in any way.
I'm going to start this one in the coming week and I'm going to run one round a day. I might skip over some weekend days, because I'm usually busier then, but I'll try to keep this running quickly. If I can keep the pace, this will be over before the end of the year.
Here's all the main threads for the previous 5 editions I ran. It's quite interesting to see how the collective DTF perception of the Haken songs has changed over the years. Fun times were had. Let's see what this year brings, right?

Evermind:
Yes! I'm in!
Some time off the weekends sounds just fine for me, I'm not on DTF for most of the weekends, so that's great. This also gives me an excuse to listen to the whole Haken discography again, which is also great.
However, I basically listen to Aquarius at least once a month. I'm ready for this one. :metal
cramx3:
I'm in. Aquarius, Restoration, and Enter the Fifth Dimension I dont have/haven't listened to enough to vote so I'll sit those and follow, but definitely in on the rest of the albums.
