Here's the third
releases of the second Flower Kings guitar player and vocalist.
Here, he can express his ideas with freedom being the main
songwriter. The album start and end with the sound of a
clock ticking which connects all the songs together and
identify the main concept of the album : time. The first
song "Stop the Clock" is one of the highlight song of the
album that illustrate all the colors and moods of the album,
from the heavy parts to some more gentle melodic part. The
symphonic music of Flower Kings is balanced with some heavy
and darker rock sound. "Everything can change" brings some
more conventional rock with a little jazz segment and some
bluesy and sometimes pop feel. "Pages" starts like a ballad
with some flute and some Yes influence that's get more upbeat
with some straight forward melody. Some nice vocals parts
are bringing this song to another level. "Genius" is less
complex but still emotional. "In the Warmth of the Evening"
is the second highlight song that is complex and contains
many shades, textures and tempo changes. "Something Worth
Dying For" is dark and goes to the Progressive Metal side
with some crunchy guitars. "Someone Else Fault" is a return
to some classic/hard rock sound in the first part, but in
the second part it gets more symphonic.
This album could
be the most satisfying of the band's career. If the vocals
and the guitar work of Hasse Froberg are the main attraction,
the rest of the musicians complete this band perfectly to
create this captivating album that will enjoy fans of Flower
Kings, Yes, Kaipa and more standard rock bands.
