"Dream Theater is so amazing... these guys suck" NO "These guys are so amazing... Dream Theater sucks" NO "Dream theater is so amazing! These guys are so amazing! I'm going to explode from so much awesomeness" YES.
+Daniel González If you ask me, this is more comparable to a band like Leprous (minus when Ihsahn is making a guest appearance). If anyone hasn't checked them out, they're also amazing ;-D
+Nicolás Rubilar Well, while the top guy is right, DT did make progressive rock popular again and pioneered the modern progressive metal sound. Though I suppose when I say modern that's probably about 10 years ago.
Omair Sheikh I actually prefer Coal over Bilateral. I took me a while to get into it though. Still cannot reach Haken imo, but both are really great bands.
I know I'm slightly late with this, but you should check out Yes' earlier stuff if you like that, Jon Anderson sings kind of similar. Start with Awaken.
Oh man those fifths at 2:10 *drool* I'm also digging that whole step drop in the chorus from "my" to "vision" with the chord change. That's very Haken of you, Haken.
God created Dream Theater as a Messiah to save humanity with prog music, now they've inherited their blessing to Haken! What a Band!! Keep it up, guys! Much Love from Lebanon \m/
If Dream Theater aren't the Cornerstone of modern progressive rock/metal and they suck so bad, then why do they immediately get compared to on every prog video on RU-vid? If they "suck" so bad then there's no comparison right? It's obvious that people here a new "prog" band they like but suddenly feel threatened by Dream Theater enough to put them down! When I first heard Dream Theater back in 92 I don't recall people suddenly saying "Oh Rush is easy compared to Dream Theater man" or "Kansas & Yes" has too small of a drumset so they aren't as good as Dream Theater bloke! Ol' chap" Dream Theater is doing what they do and if you grow apart from that and find something fresh and new that's fine! But all the musicians from these prog bands are excellent whether the songs are good to you or not! That's why there's variety so be glad there is! Be glad Dream Theater are the pioneers of "modern" prog! Yes, King Crimson, Rush, Styx etc... are the pioneers for that era
Haha... Why dont you... Because obviously someone with intelligence wouldnt troll around... Theories are wide spread beliefs based upon fact, or even superstitious reasoning... You just have a bland opinion... And go play in traffic?? What are you 5?? Haha... Or, as this conversation has shown, maybe you just have the mental capacity of a 5 year old. How pathetic...
This was one of the first songs from Haken i was exposed to. Im glad to say that I've been a fan since, and had the privilege of seeing them live on their 2018 Vector tour. These boys our outstanding, and really went from "imperfect cell" (dangerous and powerful) to "perfect cell" when they added Conner. How's about a Dragonball Z analogy for ya😉👏🏽👏🏽
Seriously awesome! Loving the D-Tej runs on keys. You guys were already 10 out of 10, but it keeps getting better and better :) Those strandbergs look sweet too. Roll on October so I can see it live!
All art is subjective and I think DT have proven their selves world wide. I love this song there's so much emotion and plenty of playing for the prog heads . Hakens music just stays in my head in the best way! My current favorite band for the last couple of years! Can't wait to see what this band does next!!!
Why do you guys compare DT and Haken? First and foremost these two bands are friendly to each other. If you go on Jordan Rudess' channel he, and his son, have mad a Haken-medoly. Second, they play different kinds of Prog. This is like comparing Aryen Lucassen to Periphery, two almost sides of the prog spectre.
I love 70's prog and jazz rock. I found this band through Cardiacs and Knifeworld. Excellent music and amazing musicians. Nobody beats Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter though. That is just how my head, heart and ears work. Everybody is different. Lots of love listeners.
Great Stuff!! They never fail in these incredibile and complicate rhythms, play with syncopes and The singer is always getting the right note... Seems impossible! Wow, I love it
Love the 'new' song. Sound quality is so much better, and love the revised parts. Although i have to say i miss the circus parts as well as the jazzy solo from Blind.
What an amazing band Haken are. I really look forward to hteir continued evolution. Conmplex, clever and challenging. That is what Progressive rock should be.
My second fav prog band after Dream theater. These guys really rock, and even though some riffs of them sound very similar to dream theater; they don't strictly imitate them, this is a hard thing to accomplish so stop criticizing them harshly and just listen to them and respect their work.
You guys are doing GREAT! im a Dream Theater fan and i admit u guys are doing things similiar to them and with your own style! its AWESOME! keep up the good work!
Great re-worked version, but it does sadden me that they clipped this somewhat. One of my favorite bands, they deserve neo-prog quality production! That aside, the instrumentation is top notch as always, and the fact that they were this crazy ambitious even 6 years ago blows my mind.
great composition....has a medieval Egyptian feel in the song....absolutely amazing... and one more thing,a lot of people are commenting garbage here,don't look on that...keep up the good work.. :)
