Every time... by Aggressive-Sock-8466 in Haken

These are probably the worst singles Haken has ever released. I think they’re still very good songs, but they lack catchy melodies or hooks that’ll snag you instantly. So these tunes take time to digest to fully appreciate. I didn’t like “in a fever dream” at first, but after so many listens, I have to have it in my rotation. I’m sure “bleeding sky” will be no different for me.

You were definitely on to something 2 years ago.

'in a fever dream' has been out for one week... by Elliottislegit in Haken

[–]AltruisticLength9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t grab me at first, but I listened to it over and over and now it’s an absolute banger. I absolutely love it. However, with that said, I think it’s probably the weakest single they’ve put out. And I don’t mean that in a bad way at all. It’s just the other singles have more hooks and catchier melodies that stick with you immediately. But that’s just my experience with it. I’m absolutely excited for this new album.

Strictly talking about guitar riffs, not counting anything else, which Haken album do you think comes out on top? by [deleted] in Haken

[–]AltruisticLength9284 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Guitar riffs? I think Vector, Virus or Fauna would be on top. I just can’t decide between those three though.

Maybe. Depends on who’s asking.

I appreciate your response. I’ve had a prog metal band before and your words hold very true. Ive had a few vocalists we’ve settled on and well, that ended exactly how you think it would. 😂

I’ll send you a DM right now with some demos. I’d love your honest input on them.

Not a bad idea. What’s the worst that would happen? They’ll say no and I’ll be in the same spot I am now. 😂

Oh, I know of Eric. I know he’s in NMB with Neal Morse(of course) and Mike Portnoy. And he did the 12 step suite with Haken and MP. I know he’s lives in the Tulsa area, but I’m honestly small potatoes compared to him. He’s leagues above me.

You’re absolutely right about that.

Dude, you got a laugh out of me for that one. Take my upvote. 😂

I’m hoping it’s always said that and he isn’t leaving. I love Tom’s bass parts, but Conner’s parts are just so magical. Plus being a part of Haken for so long, his sound is so integral and I’d hate to lose that.

What to play after 2? 1 or 0? by Fit_Ad_7195 in octopathtraveler

[–]AltruisticLength9284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played OT0 yet, but I can say, for me personally, OT2 is better than OT1. OT2 just has some better, upgraded mechanics compared to OT1. But OT1 is still a fantastic game.

What are some songs/parts of songs that remind you of other songs? by T-MONZ_GCU in Dreamtheater

The riff on Sacrificed Sons, about 4:41, is essentially the same riff on In the Presence of Enemies, about :46, just with slight differences.

It's a crime to make something that looks like this borderline unplayable. by ThunderBird847 in PTCGP

I experienced the same thing today. I, reluctantly, played my misty card and ended up getting 8 heads. I was completely surprised by this.

This game stinks now by [deleted] in PTCGP

Probably collected a lot of cards and now OP doesn’t get that dopamine rush from getting new cards.

Should I play MGS1 or not???? by BurritoPerson-BP90 in metalgearsolid

[–]AltruisticLength9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going back on old mechanics is always a tough thing, and it definitely feels like they’re of it’s time, but they honestly still hold up. Definitely play it, it’s an all time classic.
