that's the point!!
it's odd thar Retropilis is so underestimated. The title song is amazing  . There are some weak points, but I dont think that it deserved to be in such low rate here...
there is everything for everyone

without a shadow of a doubt its The Rainmaker such a sensational album that made me fall in love with the flower kings...unfold the future is also terrific however their most recent stuff is too much too complex feels like they are cramming everything into a song a little overbearing.

Interesting to see all the diverse comments coming in here. Just shows what a consistently good band the Flower Kings are, there is something for everyone amongst their stuff! As already stated by me earlier, Flower Power is the one, in fact, it is in my top ten albums of all time, and I think I love the second disc even more than the brilliant first disc! But Unfold The Future does run it close. Interestingly here though, My third fave is Adam And Eve, followed by The Rainmaker and Stardust We Are. For me, Space Revolver is one of their weaker efforts. It is too heavy in parts for me, and only I Am The Sun parts one and two are up to scratch. (Although I do love The Chicken Farmer's Song!) It is still better than their first two albums, though. Haven't heard the new one yet, but hope to get it in the next couple of weeks. That could change everything!

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

1.) Unfold the Future
2.) Paradox Hotel (!!!!!)
3.) Space Revolver
Paradox Hotel. Seriously guys, it rocks. It takes a while to get into
though, I'll admit, but it has a very distinct feeling, differing it
from other Flower Kings releases. And the filler doesn't feel like
filler!!!

I wish they had condensed their greatest ideas in one album. It would be awesome. Unfortunately they release EVERYTHING they compose, and because of that I think most of their albums are plenty of filler. I voted for Space Revolver which I think contains almost no filler.

I abstain for the moment. It's clearly between Stardust, Flower power and Space Revolver.
Stardust: Might be best over 2 discs.
Flower power: Garden of dreams is fantastic but i'm not so sure about the second disc.
Space revolver: Has in "I am the sun" the best track. There are some weaker
tracks in the middle though. And it's only one disc.
Amazing that no one voted Stardust.

Space Revolver. Unfold The Future as the runner-up.
