Flower Kings Appreciation Thread - Progressive Rock Music Forum

^ Love the cover artwork!

TFK are not a band that I listen to often, but I do enjoy them whenever I do. I listened to By Royal Decree for the first time earlier and really liked it. I will definitely check out their new album.

The new one won't be out until September.

Plenty of time for me to re-listen to all of their albums then.

Looking forward to the new album! Smile

These are sounding good! I hope we get some quirkier tracks like We Can Make It Work or Letter from their last album

Very solid record. I'll be posting my Album Review next week. I think. I gotta check with Inside Out to make sure I don't publish too early. But I think fans of the band are in for a couple surprises.

I'll be "watching" for it........

^ Awesome, thanks Scot!

God Save the Child King!!!!!

Well, I gotta say the new album is pretty solid.

I also have to say that I think I'm already tired of the formula Roine seems to have used since Miracles. I mean, I understand that he wants to keep that TFK sound, but I just haven't heard anything remotely as good as the albums up to and including Unfold.

That said, I'd still love to see the current band live, especially with Lalle at the keys! I doubt they will ever come to the USA again though, so Canada might be the closest possibility. Better yet, why not a live album?

Anyway, like the previous albums I enjoy it while I'm listening to it but then nothing really sticks with me and I really just don't hear any really great material at all. I also still feel like a lot of tracks are unfinished, just like most of the albums since Miracles. I must say I was disappointed by all the talk of "epics are back!", only to find a single 12 minute song that's really not "epic" at all. Anyway, a decent album, but just another reminder to me that their best days are well behind them (IMO).

This thread can't die!!!! Wink

I'm guessing most here are aware of the below coming out soon. Awesome set list, though I would have thought it would be a double, but I'll take what I can get.

So, my playlist was on random and 'End on a High Note' came on, love that song, always one of my favorites.

So, it kind of sparked a little prog resurgence with me and I'm starting to catch up on the last ten years or so.

So, from a Flower Kings stand point, which of the recent albums should I be focusing on. Same question on a broader sense, what have I missed?

Also, shout out to the thread, how the heck have you all been?
