"whoever wrote that last review is obviously an ametuer prog fan. This album is not a ripoff of anything, completely original. composed entirely by Roine stolt himself, the leader of my favorite prog band, the flower kings. every track in this album is epic, especially, track 1,3,4,5,. pretty much the whole album is spectacular, except for song 2, wich is not so great. but if you like progressive rock, then this album is for you. and check out Roines side project Transatlantic, which is with Roine, Neal morse, the leader of spocks beard, the bass player from dream theater, and the drummer from marilion (another good prog band) this is really good as well. but Roine is the best guitar player this side of Joe Satriani. and he is a spectacular composer. infact i would say he is one of the most talented artists in the prog world. not to mention that the flower kings is the most popular and successful band in sweeden and in the US as well, yes even better then dream theater , which i dont really consider them that progressive in the first place. but thats a whole other soap opera. so if that doesnt help you out then i dont know wat will.

BUY THIS ALBUM!"

"This CD is amazing and definately the best Roine & the Flower King's have done and that is saying alot since many of their albums are superb. This album really set the stage for what the Flower Kings are all about and brought us into their world of higher intellect through music. Like looking down from somewhere above on all that has happened and all that is going on in this world, laying the path for the new world. AND ROCKING! I bought the Artwork Series version as well as owning the original for many years and this album sounds just as good in 2005 as it did in 1994."
