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.

I just purchased all of The Flower Kings vinyl reissues and they are absolutely stunning! Listening to Stardust We Are was an almost spiritual experience. I don't have a huge vinyl collection, but after listening to these reissues, that has to change.

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.

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).

I'm listening to Stardust We Are right now on cd. I bought it earlier in the year (or maybe last year) but have only gotten around to listening to it right now. I had it a long time ago. So far so good. Maybe one of the albums (certainly one of the double albums) to put prog back on the map (if it was ever off the map).
