From a drummers perspective, martins drumming shines on this album. There is no drummer that has the feel and intelligence in their playing as Martin. I'm so happy he is back. I have been playing drums as long as Martin has and was always trying be technical. Martin influenced me to go back to the groove. Thanks Martin!
My favorite drummer. Amazing Super Group, one day they'll explode here soon. . . ? . In a perfect world they'd be opening for Tool on the next world tour. ;)
I really enjoy this album. It's one of my favourite. I only discovered Soen (shame on me) a few months ago, while preparing myself for Graspop-currently cancelled due to pandemia😣. Anyway, I feel lucky I was fortunate to finally listen to Soen. Great lyrics and music!!!!
The last few minutes of the interview seem to me to be very honest; true words. No idea what substances they are talking about, but I am glad for them and Soen as a whole.
I love you guys. I been trought a really tough moment of my life, with deep depression and anxiety, and your music is aways with me, lifting my soul, warming my heart. I love the way you don't take the music like a job, like a obligation, and don't hurt yourselves trying to proof someting for the other. Thanks Soen, thanks Joel, Martin and all of you...
I love and appreciate these guys musicianship, the realness with which they write and record. In a world of digital recording it is very warming to know that they use analog. I’m so looking forward to the new album release. Latest news, October 25th 2018, is that their mixing right now. Go soen! Love you guys!!
I never thought about how the music was made. i love your attitude and this is very genuine. You guys are so right with your attitude. I found you by accident with Joel's O Helga Nacht but am now fascinated with you both. Like the music but not your video though. Makes me feel sad, lost and hopeless.
"Making it organic" is perfection for me, this is how musics should be and that's why I cant listen to those shitty musics made these days. I loved and enjoyed SOEN from the very first song I listened to.
Great to hear that they don't do drugs and other shit. Lopez had a very bad run with it when he was in Opeth (with Mendez), even he got very ill and that was the final nail in the coffin for Mike. Martin looks much healthier than he did during the Deliverance/Ghost Reveries days.
I think Martin's cynicism has rubbed off on Joel. Joel used to be the sweet silent front man who was behind the scenes if that makes sense. now he seems to be fighting for that position.
