RESTORATION

This was my second album that I listened to from Haken, well this is an EP not an full album but you know. This is very much like a short successor to The Mountain, the mix and mood of both albums are very similar, the songs are very similar in terms of a writing perspective and the instrumentation and playing is also very similar in style to The Mountain. I think this is a pretty good EP for the most part, Darkest Light is a bit of a heavy song that has a bunch of Djent. Earthlings is a bit of a softer song with some atmospheres. Crystallised is the epic that... well... I think that should've actually been on The Mountain, replacing a few songs or making The Mountain a double discer. The structure of that song is unbelievable, its dynamic and it's got emotion, it does rip from Gentle Giant with those harmonies they did on The Coakroach king. It's a very unique EP and I'm very glad I picked this up.
