Prog Album of the Week - Week 59 (11/02/2014): Haken - Aquarius

As always, we encourage participation from everyone - if you've never heard the album, there's a YouTube link provided! Go check it out and report back!

Welcome to the fifty-ninth week of r/progrockmusic's Album of the Week! Last week we discussed Opeth's Damnation and that was lovely.

If you'd like to peruse previous weeks' discussions, please visit the archive.

Last time we discussed Haken, we discussed their most recent effort; this one's probably a bit heavier, so be weary!!

• The album on YouTube
• Progarchives review (4.07)

####Potential Discussion Questions:

• Maybe this qualifies more as progressive metal, but hey, metal and rock make a great duo, right? Just like last time, I'll pose the question "too heavy, or just right?"

• How would you personally rate the album?

• Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
