Very Disappointed

"I'm a MAJOR FK fan and I was eagerly awaiting this CD's release. Now after owning this for over a year I have to say that this gets the least play out of all my FK disks (I have them all). This set contains way too much weak/filler material, the better stuff could have been fit on one disk. I'm also very unhappy with the sound/mix - being a bass player, one of the things that I loved about the FK's was the great bass sound (regardless of player) and this is way too weak on every song - overall mix sounds like it's missing its usual oomph. Jonas - ditch the Fender and get back on the Yamaha! The Instant Delivery DVD contains most material from this album, so that was a disappointment as well - Meet the Flower Kings is MUCH better. Let's hope they get on track with their next "new" album."

"This is my first Flower King's album and may very well be my last. The band is very talented musically no doubt, but the songwriting displayed on this album is very disappointing. I keep trying to find something I like on these two discs, but even the instrumentals are just close to being good but never quite win me over. My apologies to all the FK fans out there, but I will be selling my copy of this tepid work. - Ciao"
