Humanizzimo. I absolutely love it. It's to me the ultimate example of how to write a long multi-part epic. Every element I love about long songs is there: theme reprises, tension and release, sonic variety, perfect balance between vocal and instrumental parts. It's amazing. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |

| This is hard for me, since I like The Flower Kings a lot. I voted for The Truth Will Set you Free, but any of them could win, and that would be fine with me. |

'Stardust'...I suppose...but I only have the first 7 cd;s....and 'Garden' and 'Truth' are about the same level of quality for me . I stopped buying them at Unfold the Future because I was having trouble differentiating one from another....the music while very good has a sameness that gets all blended into one for me. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Stardust We Are. Not only it is catchy, logical, well-crafted but the way the themes of this epic are interspersed through the whole two disc album makes it its real peak point. ------------- yet you still have time! |

| Stardust We Are. The problem is it's so good the band can't better it so you wonder why they continued to write epics for so long. |

I voted for Numbers, but now noticing that Humanizzimo, I think I may have voted for that instead. ------------- I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!) Check out my music on https://tempestsounds.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - my bandcamp ! |
