Haken – Affinity
I'd recommend reading this along with listening to the album, following it song by song. Bear in mind this is simply my interpretation. Well, I've already written one of these on Haken's most recent album Vector, so this marks the end of Haken month. Affinity, in my opinion, is the Haken album I find most … Continue reading Haken – Affinity
Haken – The Mountain
I'd recommend reading this along with listening to the album, following it song by song. Bear in mind this is simply my interpretation. Haken's third album marks a shift in their sound. Where their first two were quirky and fun with clear influence from Dream Theater, The Mountain is a more matured and refined sound. … Continue reading Haken – The Mountain
Haken – Visions
I'd recommend reading this along with listening to the album, following it song by song. Bear in mind this is simply my interpretation. We carry on Haken month with their second album, Visions.

Haken – Aquarius
I'd recommend reading this along with listening to the album, following it song by song. Bear in mind this is simply my interpretation. Haken's first two albums are, in my opinion, very cheesy.

Between the Buried and Me – Automata
I'd recommend reading this along with listening to the album, following it song by song. Bear in mind this is simply my interpretation. I've been putting this off for a while. Between the Buried and Me's lyrics tend to be a little too metaphorical for me to easily pick apart the stories of their albums, … Continue reading Between the Buried and Me – Automata
An Endless Sporadic – Magic Machine
It's recommended that you read this along with listening to the album. Follow song by song. Bear in mind this is simply my interpretation. Magic Machine has the feeling of an old episode of Star Trek - it has a sense of cartoon adventure and silliness, and this combined with the obvious 70s prog influence … Continue reading An Endless Sporadic – Magic Machine
Haken – Vector
I'd recommend reading this along with listening to the album, following it song by song. Bear in mind this is simply my interpretation. This album is the audio version of one of those really old monster movies from the 30s; it sounds gothic and ominous, it's short and punchy and it has a suitably halloween-y … Continue reading Haken – Vector
