Reminds me of the older Haken records in the best possible way, all while still being absolutely new. Can't wait to hear the rest.
Totally agree! They are like futuristic DT cuz they are not so Djenty. Haken got that Hit-The-Spot Balance that DT has yet super fresh every time.. I always Compare DT Large Hurricane, bwhy Haken are ThunderStorm!
Haken tried to incorporate a lot of their sounds from passed albums in the one song. I hear Vector obviously, Multiple layering vocals like the Mountain. Passages reminding me of Visions. I know the Fairytale of the Nightingale and I love how they incorporate the lyrics as the nightingale to be inspiration to writing/composing. Also not sure it is a tie in, but the nightingale is the official animal of Ukraine.
Hmmm, maybe (the National bird of Ukraine 🇺🇦 🪶)
Honestly the first song by Haken I’ve ever heard. First listened to it this morning after seeing it on my TH-cam recommended, thought: “Why not?”. I’ve got to say I am impressed with their work and I can’t believe I’ve never listened to them before. This song really makes me want to dive deeper into this band!
Oh man, you lucky lucky person. Go to Aquarius, Visions and then The Mountain to hear the development, then plunge into Affinity, Vector and Virus to see where they went next. One of my favourite bands of all time, and I’ve only known about them for 4 years!!!!
I love the hints of the old haken sound on the new song it’s sooo good
Yup!
Absolutely love this. Was not crazy about the prior album, but this sounds incredible. Yes please
I couldn't click fast enough when I saw this reaction pop up.
Edit: Loved it, great reaction as always, Jim!
That almost mugshot looking picture of them side by side is absolute meme material
Just listened to this 5 times in row this morning. I was smiling a lot
Damn, this band never disappoints.
Haken are special, this is going back to more proggy stuff, the last two albums were very rock and riff orientated and I guess that was because Diego was going. I hear the mountain a lot in this!
WTH are they talking about? Music, great. Nightingale flying to a totem? What!? Somebody fill me in because I'm clueless here. I've read all the lyrics and I'm totally missing any symbolism or even any reference to current events. Too deep for my feeble mind I guess.
Me too! The music is good though, eh?
You’re quick hahaha, this song is again a Leap! Yet lies in Classic Haken’s original sound!
Have to be honest, this one didn't grab me... i love their other stuff(mostly), but if 4-5 listens weren't enough to like this song, i probably won't like it.
Yeah, I am with you. I mean this is obviously difficult song but I just cannot get anything out of it. I love me some prog but man this had like extra layer of cheese on top of it. :D
Solid first song released, but I have this sneaky suspicion that when the full album is released this will not be one of the top tracks. They are holding back a bit with the first song.
I think so too... Showing us a glimpse but not the whole shebang
Let’s hope so…. A teaser is always a good way to garner interest, if they can up the ante then I’m all in!
@@JimNewstead Prosthetic is a great heavy track but the first single on Virus and it didn't even get us ready for how good tracks like Carousel were.
@@ryanmcgill5048 or the messiah complex for me. When you flip to side d on the record, fasten your seatbelt!
@@nathanaelcole8466 yessir Messiah Complex is brilliant
I'm a bit on the fence with this one. Some parts I really liked, others I'm unsure about. Might take repeated listens to form a firm opinion. Strong ending though.
Also, that instrumental bit in the middle had a real Dream Theater vibe, to me.
Multiple listens is sometimes what’s needed. Not every song always hits on a first listen. Sometimes a first listen might make you dislike a track with a passion! Then, slowly, the track gnaws away at you until you realise it’s part of who you are! Sometimes!!!!
It actually reminds me more of their older stuff from Visions and The Mountain. This gives me a lot of hope, I like their heavy stuff, but I absolutely love their more melodic and proggy stuff. Can't wait for the new album.
Trying the copy Spock's Beards...not the song but the photo. Good classic sound. Solid first song.
😄I had exactly the same idea when I saw that picture.
That's pretty funny. I believe this was fan-designed artwork! They had a contest for design this single's cover.
Great music and group, been listening to them for years, i didn't know they released a new song, thanks man
This is one of those prog songs where first impressions may not be good, not that it was disliked, but more that it wasn't enjoyed. There are a lot of Yes! songs like that, they are so complex that at the end of it you are perplexed by what you just heard. With more listens you get a better handle on what the song is doing and it becomes more enjoyable.
I'd disagree that this song was in your face or heavy, though it is certainly overwhelming. So much happening and so much to process.
Commenting after the 3rd listen lol. Really good jam mate! Thanks for the video🖖🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽
You’re welcome!
Hey, Louie! I'm sorry I missed you guys last night. Didn't know you were on here, too. Big WAZZZAP from Illi"noise"! 🤘😜🤙
To me this song feels a lot more like a return to an old sound in a developed and new way. I'm loving it and I can't wait to see what they release next!
Great reaction Jim! As always :-)
Took me about 5 listens. I absolutely love it ❤
I wouldn't say a million miles from Visions when the intro chords are basically the theme from Visions
Ok. Not a million miles…. But it sounded very Radiohead at the beginning, morphing into a chunky crunchy Haken. It’s so obviously Haken. But I don’t hear the melodies and the slightly off-kilter sounds of some of the previous records. But this was only a FIRST listen, there’s more to uncover and discover on multiple play throughs. A great track, hoping for big things with the new album. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@JimNewstead of course there was no jab intended with that comment I just noticed the Visions reference right off the bat first listen. Possibly I've just listened to their discography more than you have so it's a matter of it being stuck in my head. I love your reactions and cannot wait to explore the new album with you!
@@JimNewstead I agree 100%. I think it was interesting but I won’t lie, I don’t think this can compare to anything from their debut to mountain. But overall the song was decent. I loved the middle instrumental though! 👍
I was refreshing my Spotify at midnight thirsting to listen to this song. I am pleased and estactic
Hey Jim :) Nice Song. I could only dscribe it as a mix of Progressive and..Playful hehe, enjoyed it a lot!
Oh and i have to drop in my old trusty Klone recommendation ..i'll change the song tho! So...
Klone - Gone up in Flames
Klone - The Drifter
Damn it!!!! Why do I keep forgetting Klone???? Sorry, must try harder!
@@JimNewstead Haha its all good mate, actually quite a bit funny how it became like a tradition for me to write that :D But yeah i am really curious if you like them
Sounds like a return to form.
Awesome song! And released on my birthday! Amazing!!
Happy birthday 🥳 🎉🎂🎈
@@JimNewstead Thank you 😊
Happy Happy! 🥳
This sounds great! I really like the band sound. This is almost a bit djenty!
They are a djent band, some have nicknamed them Djentle Djiant.
@@JimNewstead What a perfect description for Haken. I love it.
@@JimNewstead
I only just learned the term djent when this was played on Doug's Jukebox on Dr. Doug's Discord last night. Nice to have a term for part of the heaviness I don't like about various genres of "metal."
Their discography is all over the place with influences, from Meshuggah to King Crimson. I'd recommend starting with The Mountain and then listening to their entire discography. One of the best bands I've ever heard in my life.
@@Mason_____ I've listened to several records of Haken, but never considered them a djent band. Meshuggah is one of my favorites, also Periphery, and these bands are proper djent To me Haken is more vocal orientated and melodic band.
...why do they all have those hipster beards, did you meet them recently ;-) ?...but sounding great, looking forward to the new release.
Nope, I’ve never met them, but I have interviewed Ray Hearn the drummer on the channel and spoken via email with Richard Henshall, one of the guitarist.
Jim, I mentioned yesterday that I am seeing Nektar on Cruise to the Edge next week, well Haken will be there, too!
Lucky lucky luck so and so!
Haken again 😃
First impressions are good but I definitely have to hear it again for a few times. This is normal for me; the more complicated the music, the more times I need to hear it before I really like it.
Have you listened to the band IQ. Quite similar but still different band.
I’ve only heard very limited stuff by IQ but not anything I can actually remember off hand. That probably means I was listening casually while doing something else rather than actively listening.
@@JimNewstead same qualities as Haken. Latest album, Resistance,is good. Scrape across the sky. Road of bones. Etc.
This song fits into the mountain album
It doesn’t have the melodies of The Mountain for me, at least on a first listen!
About time man
Haha! It was only 9 hours after release…. Or did you mean Haken, not Jim? 🤣
