Haken - Virus - Album Review

Haken – Virus – Album Review

Artist: Haken

Album Title: Virus

Label: InsideOut Music

Date of Release: 6 June 2020

Top 50 Albums of 2015

1. Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase. 

Finally, Steven Wilson reaches peak Steven Wilson. Prog fans rejoice. 

Hand Cannot Erase feels like it’s been years in the making, With Steven Wilson’s solo career, he has allowed himself to experiment and branch out in many directions such as more straightforward, more electronic, and more complete condensation of the 70s. However, this is the album where these skills, having been honed, are united to form a more perfect album. The album is full of the virtuosic playing that remains the standard for the prog scene today. However, the real strength that puts this album at #1 is the songwriting and the cohesion. The album is remarkably subtle for a genre of music that is known for bombast. This album is the journey of the year, providing the listener with new routes and intricacies to discover in looking into how a woman can just disappear with no one noticing.

4. The Dear Hunter - Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise

Oh thank god Migrant was just a phase. 

Okay previous album bashing aside, The Dear Hunter has been one of the most exciting bands in the modern progressive rock scene, and one with significant crossover success. This is not surprising because their music is often quite catchy and consistently intriguing to all. The music is pompous, quirky, unique, dense, haunting, and passionate. On top of it all, who can resist a multiple album spanning concept? And oldtimeyness which is played perfectly, as it had been on the other Acts. Knowing the audience that this blog has drawn, if you are not listening to The Dear Hunter, you are missing out on some of the best progressive rock out there today. And this is an album that has it all.
