For anyone who cares, I've been listening to Haken since Aquarius released and it opened the gates of prog rock for me. To this day, with its ups and downs, it is still my favourite band of all time and was lucky enough to go see them twice in Argentina.

This is my tier list, from best to worst.

1. Aquarius: I know there is a bit of nostalgia here but it's one of the only albums that I always find myself gravitating back to. The whimsiness of the composition is something I only found glimpses of on later albums and I'm wishing a return to roots for them. If i had to pick one song: Drowning in the Flood, or Point of no return/celestial elixir. Second place goes to Sun
2. Restoration EP: There is a lot of Aquarius for me here and the only bad thing is that it's so damn short! If i had to pick one song: I just imagine the three songs are one long epic song
3. Affinity: Holy, this album is FUN and so many references to classic prog rock, a lot of King crimson too. The production value is insane
4. Visions/Mountain: This one was a tough spot but I ended up putting them in the same tier since, when I listen to one I usually listen to the other. When I'm in a more "meditational" mood, I put these two back to back an they never disappoint. If i had to pick one song: Nocturnal conspiracy/PAreidolia
5. Virus: It took me a while to get accustomed to this album but once it did, it hit really hard. It's very heavy in a good Haken way and the overall story is great. IF not for the nostalgia that visions/mountain bring me, this would be my fourth pick instead of fifth. If i had to pick one song: Invasion
6. Fauna: I like 3 or 4 songs from this disc, and it sounds very good live. Sadly, it doesn't resonate with me, and I tried. If i had to pick one song: Beneath the white rainbow

Haven't yet listened to Vector, would love to hear your opinions and if there is something from them I'm missing

Edit: oh shit, i forgot Affinity

I am unsure if this is a bug or it is intended. is there another way to hide or completely block certain subreddits? It certainly was surprising to see a subreddit I thought I had muted in my feed and when I went to check, it actually was muted. So why did it show up?

More bands like Reliqa? the EP "I don't Know What I Am" absolutely blew my mind

The production value, the heaviness of it and also how whimsical the changes are. On top of that, the lyricism is top notch.

Destiny Potato is a band with very similar vibes which I also love
