Haken - The Point of No Return

[Raffael900me]

00:25 reminds me of score

[NastyProgger]

7:39 reminds me of Symphony X ;) Haken is the future of prog meatl !! And I love fretless :D

[themadscientistwho]

Which album is better: This one or visions?

[GasparXR]

I fucking love this guy's voice! These guys feel like a demented mix between Dream Theater, Tool, and a wide variety of other musical influences. I ordered both CDs recently, hopefully I get them soon

[Kummen]

That fucking intro! Oh man...... it's simply brilliant

[MrDavidbenrey]

"the wather is thicker than blood

and we can't look her in the eyes.

release her to the steam!"

Brilliant!!!

[pastadedientes]

Fantastic album. Reminds me to Kansas.

[mark79er]

the whole album is just perfect, also the poweful well-mixed sound of all instruments.

it blew my mind :)

[kinginsomnia]

I'm really glad to hear a band who will still be keeping this awesome genre alive even when Dream Theater get too old. (Dream theater are my favourite band by the way)

[iFerret1]

this song is really awesome but what's with that hideous voice at the 5th minute? was that an attempt of combining growl with a masterpeice? don't get me wrong, I love the combination of clean vocals with a short growl like when "riverside" are doing it, but that was awful

[skanka4646]

This is great

[Asrakorn]

circus ? lolololo

[Raffael900me]

shred some mermaid \m/ 2 hand tapping

[olcaldrew]

nice

[BinaryPill]

~9000 views? Pathetic! Why won't anyone listen to good music anymore? When will people finally realise that there is more to music than Lady GaGa or Rihanna or Justin Bieber or (insert popular artist here)?

[RiccardoTheBeAst]

This band is AWESOME.

[tJustSoup]

reminds me of final fantasy 7 for some reason....

[arthasbr]

eleven minutes of ear raping, nice

[Gravesen2]

Not sure about this one. Musicianship is very good, no doubt about that, but what about this songwriting and the arrangements. Sometimes, it feels as if they don't bother about nice transitions but arbitrarily combine different parts. Where is the 'flow'?

[mark79er]

@Gravesen2 when you listen to it many times, every transition fits perfect. and you have the kind of feeling, it couldnt be better :)

[Ornothrus]

It sounds to me as if Yes, Rhapsody & Tolkien were doing a threesome and had a son out of that!

[DonPetrushka]

@Ornothrus, and of course Dream Theater)

[555Ryan666]

This song

 matches with mario!

[TheZairae]

Dream theater fans are kind of rabid. For me, they only had a few good albums. Sorry. Aquarius is kind of incredible for a debut album. Look forward to seeing more stuff from Haken.

[satriani123xx]

@TheZairae hahahaha...typical troll... dream theater have a lot of great albums and a couple of masterpieces... Haken is good, but not that good

[FormerlyMrBean667]

If Dream Theater did this, I would like it.

[sebkw96]

im sorry but charlie griffiths (lead guitar of haken) has got like the best track record of bands - he was in fuking linear sphere!

[ephemeralsentience]

soooo gay

[benjaminvize1]

@ephemeralsentience MATE SHUT THE FUCK UP DONT BOTHER COMMENTING ON IT IF YOU DONT LIKE IT i wonder what you listen to ? mindless crap in 4/4 time in c major

[rokusho0100]

@ephemeralsentience woah, where'd that mirror come from?

[666satanification666]

This song is an absolute masterpiece. It seems to combine all the good things from bands like Unexpect, Arcturus and obviously DT, all of which are phenomenal bands. I am absolutely thrilled with this, it's beautiful.

[benjaminvize1]

@666satanification666 you have a great understanding of this my friend :DDDDDDD DREAM THEATER FOR THE WIN

[Raffael900me]

@666satanification666 fuck yea the this bands influences are heard but the creativity and musicianship is also showed fuckin amazing

[Camilink94]

With a musical future like this, I have no fear of what's to come...

[hurtken]

sometimes less is more,and their is no less here!!

[ElGolemista]

6:25 - 7:59 <--- to-mera? lol that was maclean's fault

[ChristoMafesto]

Great song, great band with great musician skill and creativity. If you like this band / song because of how complex and different it is, you are well versed in understanding what good music is all about and you are the people that need to fight against a music industry full of created plastic, mindless, pathetic artists that brainwashes today's kids into little debased sluts and emasculated men. Music is a form of expression, all that is expressed in the mainstream is how to be cool. pathetic.

[navas015]

@ChristoMafesto Thank you sir, I agree with you, this band is brilliant in every aspect.

[MrYungsan]

@ChristoMafesto yes i agree, but ive heard reviews saying every one of these melodies and riff have been done by dream theater

[bajko1000]

@ChristoMafesto i am agree in everithing you said...but for me todays prog music sounds still to comercial for me. The best period of progressive music for me where 70tis. beacouse bands in thouse days have very classical and timles sound....but i will be very happy if todays children would listen haken and not bullet for my valentine

[thesemenincident]

@ChristoMafesto I've never heard such ridiculous hyperbole in my life...

[ChristoMafesto]

@thesemenincident Thanks for you're compliment. I'm glad my "Hyperbolic" style got a reaction from you.

/tips hat

[saxman076]

@ChristoMafesto Dude, I just started listening to these guys and I already love them. The way they change rhythms and the singers range is outstanding. How they incorporate all the instrument sounds with their TWO keyboardists is amazing <3

[lunavega]

@ChristoMafesto So agreed!! Too much garbage and crap err rap music taking over....I guess people like driving around in rattling trunks and putting rims on crap cars too...ignorant people!

[vaxkors95]

@ChristoMafesto I'm pride to be a 15 years old boy, that likes prog music...

[bramdemakker]

I like the weirdness

[DiegoKatabian]

anyone know any tabs for this? or any other haken song...

[Cambrand]

I like this band, but i cant help feeling that they are doing the same thing over and over with their songs. Trying to find as special chords as possible and they are kinda repeating throughout the whole album. some things that bothers me thats all. Altho.. the piano @ exacly 01:53 = epic

[peripetilja]

Unbelievable good : )

[Hellothere1234512345]

this track is really, really good

[navas015]

@Hellothere1234512345 yeah man! it has so many influences... You can see many things here....... all of em majestically good!

[Basskay]

I love this band. They're extremely talented and unique. I really hope they get the success they deserve (not likely though, considering this style of music tend to go right over people's heads).

[quadrupleplay]

I need to give Haken more attentive listening. Thanks for this upload - it will make hearing this album easier with only one video for this song.

Aquarium and Drowning in the Flood are only in 360p, so if you were planning to upload more songs from Aquarius, please upload those two.

[navas015]

This is the best Progressive Rock/Metal album of this year for sure!
