New album!

I remember vividly when Visions was released, because by then I knew Aquarius completely by heart and Haken had cemented themselves as a favourite act of mine, despite only having one album out. I recall hearing teaser snippets of the album and actually seeing them perform two songs from the album when I saw them live in the summer of 2011 (I believe I got to see Nocturnal Conspiracy and Insomnia) and all of that got me immensely excited for this release. On the 'Anonymous Visions' tour, when they toured together with Headspace, I saw them perform the entire album in full, which was really a blast to see. Initially, this one was enjoyed more by me than the band's debut, but over time its novelty wore off. While I still think this is an outstanding sophomore album, it kind-of ranks at the bottom of their discography now for me, which shows how excellent their material really is.

I'm curious how this album will do this time around. This one has a weird tendency to yield a different outcome every time I host the survivor.

My first vote goes to The Mind's Eye.
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I didn't feel comfortable enough voting for Aquarius because I honestly haven't listened enough to fully digest the album (which I obviously need to rectify). Now I can finally participate in this survivor... I know this will be controversial, but I'm going with Portals. It's a good song, but it's just my least favorite on such a strong album.

ehh, it's probably gonna go out in the bottom half of the album so i don't think that's too controversial  :lol

Portals has never made it past sixth place (which I personally think is a shame).

Hoping that Deathless will be crowned champion here. Easily the best song on this album, and one of the best that Haken have done.
