This record delivers a collection of songs that is one of TFK’s best yet, and it makes no difference whether they are viewed as one epic theme or as 13 separate works, because the album flows beautifully with good sequencing. Whether you prefer fatter guitar sounds or more hippy vocal meanderings, whether you prefer ballads or rockers, it is all there, and it is all delivered to the highest standard. More than that, this album presents a maintenance of form for The Flower Kings that declares once again that this band is simply not to be ignored. It’s rockophonic, baby – in fact it is downright hip.
