Now you are ready to do the Messiah Complex, its a 5 part track from their album Virus. It directly ties in to this and some other elements of their discography.

Love it. Gave me those Gentle Giant/Kansas/Yes vibes. Maybe you can do a music video with your puppets someday. That would be cool.

This was the first Haken song I'd ever heard. I listened to it and watched the video many many times before moving on to some of their other epic songs. All I can say is it's probably THE best way to introduce someone to Haken. If they can't enjoy the quirky humour of this video and the combination of genres that are mixed into the song, then they'll honestly never understand the magic of Haken overall. It's pretty much that simple.

I was lucky enough to see them open for Devin Townsend back in 2020, three shows before they pulled the plug on the tour as things were about to shut down globally. It was an absolute treat. They are every bit as note-for-note impeccable live as the studio stuff.

This album is what hooked me on Haken, didn't care much for their older work but The Mountain and everything after I've loved, especially Affinity.

This is the first thing I've heard from them and also got hooked. Instantly. I never really cared much for "rock opera" type of music, but surprisingly I actually like the first two albums, especially Visions. And yeah, Affinity is great!

@CapOlimar 3 ай бұрын

@@MikeThePole I'll have to go back at some point and listen to them again, it's been a long time. I don't listen to nearly as much prog/metal these days.

@chetthehoss 3 ай бұрын

Mountain was the first Haken I listened to. Cockroach King was the first song I heard by the band. Mountain was a really easy album to get into and love from start to finish. I loved it so much that when the earlier albums arrived, I was sort of hesitant to listen. It honestly took about 5 times listening to each album top to bottom before they became my new favourite. Haken is one of those bands that you can just put on the album and go from start to finish and feel fulfilled. There's just something about the complete experience, and I'm glad it was still the same (for me, at least) with Fauna. I hope you can go back and truly enjoy their earlier albums. They truly are both masterpieces (Aquarium and Visions)

In their recent Asia/Aussie tour they played Crytallised, I've listed to tons of Haken, never listened to that before. It was a 20 minute wonder! How incredibly lucky were we to hear a 20 min long song live from such a band?! Fantastic!

@ryan_nstuff 3 ай бұрын

The youtube algorithm just sent me down the Flagman rabbit hole this week. Absolutely love that band now. They're touring with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, which is why I think it was suggested to me. To bad they're only part of the tour in Florida and not coming out to California.

@Tmpp88 3 ай бұрын

Looks like there's some audio/encoding problems happening from 5:56 onwards, luckily it didn't deduct that much from the insane experience that is this song! This song along with the two that come immediately after it on the album, In Memoriam and Falling Back to Earth, was the trio of songs that elevated Haken from "promising newcomers" to "prog metal royalty." What a hallmark of a song, seriously!

@eliteextremophile8895 3 ай бұрын

Falling Back to Earth has one of the most beautiful parts in music history, to me at least.

@eliteextremophile8895 3 ай бұрын

i've listened prog my whole life and I've always been prog lover foremost. I found this band just about a year ago through their album Virus. I mean, I have heard their songs before, but in context where I never realized to ask the band. Anyway, I listened only for the Virus (especially Messiah Complex) for like two months through and through and was hooked. I was so hooked I didn't even realize to look more into their stuff, but when I did, my whole life changed. Now this is definitely maybe even the best prog band ever to me ever. I can't really categorize bands and Vildhjarta is still the only band I can say is the best band ever to me and no other band I can put in order of preference, but this comes so close.

@themightymcb7310 3 ай бұрын

Recommending a band to you called Kaonashi. They're a self-described "emo mathcore" band that change their sound a bit album to album and have a VERY unique vocalist. I'd recommend the song "Why Did You Do It?", but the algorithm might like their newer track "I Hate The Sound Of Car Keys" a bit better.
