Seeing this thread reminds me of that band. I've listened to it twice and forgot about it. Seems like this isn't my cup of tea, sadly.

I had a similar experience. Took me a bit to get into it, then I quite enjoyed, but within a week lost entirely the desire to listen to it.

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

I absolutely love the album!

I quite like this. Stumbled on it by accident. Not a massive progger these days but the vibe is good, afaic.

Glad someone likes it. I haven't even thought about this album since the week it came out (same with Invention of Knowledge) so maybe I'll listen again and see if anything's changed.

Yeah, I bought it about a year ago and I've probably only listened to it in full once. I can't entirely put it down to lack of inspiration on Roine's part, because Waiting For Miracles, the Flower Kings' last album, is absolutely brilliant.

I like this album well enough, but I'll be honest, I don't think I've listened to it more than a dozen times since its release. Given the folks involved, you'd think this would've been way more popular, but it just didn't strike the right chords with me (and many others, it seems).

And at this point, this feels like it'll be another one-off from Roine (looking at you, Anderson / Stolt), especially now that Roine and Jonas are working on a new TFK album, less than a year after the last one. Also, Daniel is working on new POS, Tom is with Kansas, and Marco is always seemingly doing a dozen things at once.

The Flower Kings (and occasionally Transatlantic) are where Roine's heart truly belongs. By some distance his best music has been made collaborating with those musicians. I mean, obviously it's good to branch out and make music with others, but it doesn't always have the same electrifying results.

The whole isn't greater than the sum of the parts with this album.  Great players but zero chemistry on this album. Plus, for me, I'm not a Daniel Gildenlow fan by any stretch.  The cover art is the most inspired part of this album in my opinion.

Gildenlow is one of the reasons I’ve stayed away from this one. Guy just rubs me the wrong way. He has a good voice but it just comes across as pretentious. Did not care for his appearance on the last TA album at all.

I still like this album. Wish there would be a follow up but I doubt it given the circumstances.
