Fauna signals a lyrical departure for Haken; their first album without an overarching story, it’s comprised of unconnected songs sharing a theme of animal-human behavioural parallels. Considering their previous multi-album concept arc resulted in them releasing an album called Virus during a global pandemic and having its release disrupted by said pandemic, one can understand why they may not have wanted to give fate a chance to be tempted this time around.

Haken are a great band, but I feel they've going downhill for a while. The performance is still top-notch, but it doesn't seem to have the... bling-bling (?) it used to.

This is pretty entertaining in most parts and I got some Gojira vibes here and there. Some unnerving simpler moments keep me from enjoying this fully though. Taurus is my favorite song here. I like the idea and art style on the album cover.

I honestly didn't care for the singles on their own, but after listening to the album, I realized that this was one of those albums that sounds better played together than the songs sound on their own What I found more ironic about that is that this is a rare occasion where a Haken album ISN'T a concept album.

Just like the old lady said to her husband, I only wish it was a little harder...

What an absolutely fantastic album! Has potential to dethrone The Mountain as my favorite of their albums. Edit: It has.

Tbh if you compare it to their other album ratings on MS this should be at least an 8.3

Sempiternal Beings is amazing, song of the year for me so far.

Really enjoying this album, certainly my favourite of theirs. I'm surprised by the overall low rating it has received thus far on MS, but clearly not as preferred as the rest of their discography by the masses here.
