4 stars Before to say of this album is necessary to introduce a brief history of TFK. This band it's so important of new generation of symphonic prog bands of 90's. It's so difficult to define or compare with other band of style or sub genre, it's better to say that TFK create a new style symphonic prog rock and pattern for other bands as Magic Pie, Anima Mundi and others.

In this album, TFK shows as prog rock can be so funny and different, the voice of Roine Stolt contribute for define also the style of band. The sensation "prima facie" is something simple, but happened high levels of creativity; the melodies summon up somenthing of funny, exploring the possibilities of keyboards. Moments so heavy in guitar and voice, Roine Stolt has a clear interpretation. Sometimes looks that hear a soundtrack of a movie because facility to change of melodies. In fact, perceives a tribute to classic prog rock bands, mainly for the use of keyboards; as the paralel projects of members of the group, it' sonds like a instrumental bands that use prog rock influences, but hearing the complete album perceives that is just a sensation.

Welcome Back is a excellent debut album of a band that has a style and shows this in your carrer, and more: style and quality that shows is possible to make a new and good generation of progressive rock. Prog rock don't live only in the past but the past contributes for a new resumption. I think that TFK is important not only as progresssive group but a lot of projects that emerged of this band.
