If Bound By Gravity was just music and no vox, it would make me escape to my happy place. Vox are good but instrumentally it’s just sublime.

Instrumentally Haken are great. The vocals are just awful. It’s too bad. The bass player is Thomas MacLean ... a member (former?) of To-Mera, another great European prog metal band. I haven’t heard any news from them in a while though. Sucks.

Vocals aren't awful any more than Jon Anderson era Yes' vocals or Rush's vocals are awful.

I'm really sick of the hyperbolic treatment that prog vocals get, to be honest.

Not true. There are plenty of prog metal bands with great vocals...
Queensryche
Fates Warning
To-Mera
Klone
Evergrey
Symphony X
Subsignal
Andromeda
Sylvan
Spocks Beard
Porcupine Tree
Anubis Gate
That's off the top of my head...

The Contortionist - Language has superb vocals imo

"Not true. There are plenty of prog metal bands with great vocals..."
I mean that prog metal vocals often get a bad rep when they shouldn't.

^ Ahhh understood. To each his own. I am just not a fan of the vocals.

Problem with prog is that the artists think their songwriting / instrumental talent is superb so they can get away with subpar vocal-lines / vocalists... Ruins most prog bands imo

Literally could not be further from the truth.

There is so many talented singers in prog, it's ridiculous

Vocalists aren’t trying to “get away” with anything. Kind of a ridiculous statement. Prog has a lot of unique and off kilter voices that might not vibe with some people. But I also think you’ll find this in any genre

I love how they said the new record would be more heavy and then they release this as a first single. Honestly though, it's pretty catchy and the trumpets are a nice touch. It's groovy too

"Vocalists aren’t trying to “get away” with anything. Kind of a ridiculous statement. Prog has a lot of unique and off kilter voices that might not vibe with some people. But I also think you’ll find this in any genre"
Then again, there are unorthodox but nonetheless excellent vocalists in bands like Van der Graaf Generator and people throw a fit at those as well.
