BANKS OF EDEN

There are a few weak The Flower Kings albums but also even fewer flawless albums. Banks of Eden is the best of them and the big advantage over older albums like Stardust We Are, Flower Power and Unfold The Future is the more accessible length and the structure compactness. Banks of Eden is a 53 minutes prog joy with 4 very good shorter songs and a 25+ minutes grand epic. Numbers, my favorite song from this album and also from entire TFK discography, is an emotional roller-coaster of light and dark passages, moving from one section to another, taking us on an unforgettable journey, and the big climax near the end of the song is one of the best moments in Flower Kings history. A well deserved 5 stars and an highly recommended album!
