Customer Reviews

Good but not essential
I can write the same review for any Flower Kings album. They make fantastic music, but terrible albums. Isn't that a paradox? Well, not really, considering their notorious inability to select and edit their prolific output. The result is a frustrating album, that contains some really great, inpired music, yet ends up disappointing because the other half of it is filler material or just plain bad. If you cut out 50% of every FK album, you would end up with a masterpiece every time. That's the sad part for me - I cannot sit down and enjoy any of their albums without skipping tracks. So my solution is to make one amazing MP3 compilation and listen to that instead! In the case of this album, "The Garden Of Dreams" is a great prog suite if you remove about 20 minutes of it, cutting it down to just 40 minutes (wink wink). The second cd has some amazing moments like "Psychedelic Postcard", "Hudson River Sirens" and "Stupid Girl" and the rest of it it utterly forgettable. So is it worth the price tag? You decide.

WOW
Garden of Dreams is one of the best prog rock or whatever you want to call it pieces of work in the last 20 years. The finale is as strong as anything Genesis or Yes ever did. Roine is a master writer and Bodine an exceptional interpretur of those fantasic meoldies with the aray of keyboard sounds he weaves into each song. Nice work. I don't really care for the rest of the disk or disk two after that, but at 20 plus minutes Garden is worth every penny for this one- Prog fans , do a one click buy on this one.

Great Progressive Album
Flower Power is a great progressive rock double album. There is a wide variety of tunes with long jams and well written lyrics. It reminds my of the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
