Anyway, over all I think they are all decent to really good.  Looking forward to the new album that is nearly complete.

Any info on the new tracks, titles, name.......??

I know. For me they are pretty equal.

A few months ago, I've made a "single CD" selection from the last three albums with only my favourite tracks and a nice running order.

1. Broken (6:48) - Islands
2. World Gone Crazy (5:06) - By Royal Decree
3. Revolution (6:03) - By Royal Decree
4. Miracles for America (10:04) - Waiting for Miracles
5. Vertigo (9:59) - Waiting for Miracles
6. Solaris (9:32) - Islands
7. All I Need Is Love (5:54) - Islands
8. Ascending to the Stars (5:41) - Waiting for Miracles
9. Funeral Pyres (7:15) - By Royal Decree
10. The Crowning of Greed (4:50) - Waiting for Miracles
11. We Were Always Here (7:35) - Waiting for Miracles

Total Time 78:47

You can give it a try... Wink

I haven’t listened to The Flower Kings in ages. So I need to put that right a.s.a.p

I will need to give it more listens to see if it hits me differently than when I first heard it. That's the reason I don't have that one on LP........Maybe that will change.

Keep em coming man!

Scot, great list. I especially like your top five or so. Imo (out of what I have heard so far which is most of them) the Flower Kings didn't put out any bad albums. Of course some are better than others.

Desolation Rose is the last one I bought but I didn't care for it too much to be honest. I still have it though so maybe I'll try again. Maybe it will grow on me.

I've listened to all of The Flower Kings albums now, but I still think Roine Stolt's Flower King album is the best of all of them. It's blooming marvellous! Thumbs Up
