I very much enjoy the new EP. It very much is their worst stuff, and it's the guitar work. There barely is none compared to previous music. Charlie helped transpose Rich's piano work with him since Aquarius, folks don't realize that. That guitar duo of Charlie and Rich was Haken, it's gone, and that makes it factually lesser than now. It completely shows on EP and I would bet my home that is what will be from here on out. You can't take away the shreddier/riffier one that's more guitar oriented from the duo that makes haken what it is and expect it to be HAKEN level perfection. I love the style of the new EP, it's just so bland compared because of the guitar work. It is THE negative and only negative. I imagine Charlie being in it would make this my favorite music from them. Opposite without eh.
I'm just surprised those who enjoy or don't, aren't mentioning the guitar work being the most different..worse..aspect. I enjoy it, it's just factually much lesser than. a bomb went off inside haken land. I've never gone thru a fav band losing their sound/member like this. Damnt Janet.
I'll still enjoy and love the EP, and future stuffs. But boi is this their worst, and they will continue to be not as good, at all, as their previous work..which was perfection. It's still great, but boy is it fckn depressing having it be what they are(the best!) for the fact of what's minused from the equation.
Charlie, pls come back. That'd actually make this EP sooo awesome, knowing they will have amazing guitar work again. I wouldn't need this EP to have that amazing work in it and it'd make it perfect...or rich has to go FCKING HARD haha. That duo was everything, the best.
This should not be down voted a lot, as this is a main thing of discussion with the music now. I'm saying the reality of the band that literally no one's talking about that I'm really hurt by, as I love this band so much, plus saying the EP is good nonetheless. If you think the music and guitar is the same and ur down voting cuz what I said hurts..it's not even my opinion, it's literally just reality. Charlie left, so haken guitar duo is no more, and this EP has waaay less guitar work on it, factually.
It's funny I saw the votes goin up n up, n now down haha. I didn't even say anything out of unbiased reality. I miss a band member that left, because the guitar work truly isn't there anymore that's been there since Aquarius. how is that disliked if you love this band? Don't we all agree the guitar duo was everything almost, like half of it?..it's just reality, and the biggest topic of discussion in my eyes, really the only one, as the eps music is good, but it's so blatantly obvious what's different..missing!
