I've kinda lost interest in Haken as I'm not all that into their thrashy/metal/proggy stuff of late, prefer The Mountain stuff.

Thats the thing about the upcoming Haken album - I think its going to be a "back to roots" album In some way.

Listen to the first single they released this year "nightingale". Wow thats such an amazing song! Sounds like it came right away from Vision or The Moutain. Then, the second single "The Alphabet of Me" just proves that Haken are one of the most creative metal bands out there.It is so unique and new. Even a bit Pop-ish but in a good way.

Anyway, 2023 sounds really promising.

Im sooooooooooo exited for the new Earthside album. been waiting for so long and its finally happining.

Also expecting the upcoming Yossi Sassi record.

I hope that Zoop and Southern Empire will release something.

Yea the other day I saw the video for Alphabet and thought of Maroon 5...... LOL

And thats a bad thing...?

Maroon 5 with distortion and oddly uncommon time signatures. Tongue

I don't like Maroon 5, not bad or good for me.....That Haken song is just ok, I don't have desire to hear it again.

New Redemption album coming soon, looking forward to that.

I'm also excited for Earthside. I didn't like the last single by Haken. The haven't surpassed the heights (pun very much intended) of The Mountain, for me at least. I also love Affinity and Restoration, I rarely listen to anything outside of those three.

The Cocoon is from the adjacent projects the one I enjoy the most. Nova Collective, Tiktaalika and Novena are all good, excellent musicianship, but I don't connect with them as much. I don't care for To-Mera at all.

The Resonance Project sounds Haken-ish and they are great musicians. I recommend it to everyone interested in Haken.

There will be albums from Jordsjø, Elds Mark and The Chronicles of Father Robin.

Jordsjø released an album just a little while ago. Confused

That was old material, if you think about "Jord Sessions" and "Nattfiolen Suite". New album will be called "Salighet", due summer 2023.

I didn't know that, a new album from them is more than welcome, i thought it was rather quickly. LOL

I expect a new studio album from Focus to come out in 2023. Thijs van Leer has said in interviews that the band are working on a new album that will be called Focus 12. Still no official announcement though, and no release date.

Hi,

Music, for me, WAS NEVER ENTERTAINMENT. And that is the difference.

Starting with a household that had over 3K LP's of classical music (over 100+ operas), the variety in it was what ended up showing itself to me as valuable and important, and the "urban styles" (per SW) of selecting many of these things, is fine with me, although I am a believe that if you listen to more things, and have a wider listening experience, than just your favorites, that your music choices change right away.

This is not bashing at all ... it is a suggestion that there is a lot more music out there, and that slimming down the number of choices, is not allowing many of us to appreciate new things rightly and correctly. Folks, indeed, have their own choice and I will always stand up for it, however, my thoughts are that being aware of the "difference" and a lot of other materials, ends up being a much more satisfying musical experience all around, than being disappointed that the album by X, or Y or Z is not really that good, or perhaps we get taken for a ride with an album that has superb technical recording, but the music really did not get elevated because it was not helped beyond the recording design and thoughts.

I, kinda call it ... listening to it all as a 3-D experience, and to me, just like film, the NEWER things have always come from somewhere else ... and not the same folks. There are/were a couple of folks that blew that apart (Godard being one!) but there has never been a band that pulled a Godard, yet ... and it won't be heard amidst these lists, I don't think, thus making the choices a "favorite" rather than really good musical choices ... by whichever standard one uses, though a couple of folks think mine is this or that and in the end, I have no preference ... except new things, because you already heard the old! This is not a comment about JT and so many other bands that have done outstanding and far out stuff over their years of music, but it is a comment that history has shown that CHANGE is what it is all about ... not the same stuff or folks!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
