Review title: Like "V" and "Snow"? You may not like this one.
Product review: If you're like me, you really like (most of) "V" and "Snow", as well as Transatlantic (although you prefer SMPTe to B.A.F.), and you think about half of every Flower Kings album is brilliant (and the rest "okay").On the same page? Ok. Good.I can't recommend this album. Wanted to like it. Can't. So much of it collapses into hard-rock cliches or limp ballads. The other 2-3 star reviews on this page are spot-on.These guys are cracker-jack musicians... no one's doubting that. And Nick D'Virgilio is a more than competent lead vocalist (as he demonstrated on "Snow").But the songwriting just isn't there. Not enough hummable moments...and I like humming Allan Holdsworth, so what does THAT tell you?That said, I'm curious to see what the next album brings.
