When I first put this one, I hated it. The "sound" was more of the same (Flower Kings, Kaipa) and the music was awkward, like the melodies were strained to fit awkward lyrics.

I haven't changed my mind about the music sounding formulaic, but I'm starting to like it much better after about three listens.

If Stolt sang and played on the first track, you'd swear he had written it. This 19 minute tune is Karmakanic's version of the great FK tune Love Supreme. Yeah, the lovey dovey lyrics are stupid, but I can tell that over time I'm likely going to come to cherish this silly tune.

The songs vary from the harder edged Let In Hollywood to the orchestrated and lovely Eternally Pt. 2.

There's nothing here as wild and experimental as Do U Tango from Wheel of Life, but if you're a Flower KIng fan, then you'll probably come to enjoy this one. It's certainly a better outing than the last couple of FK albums.

I'd give it a 7 out of 10 for those who like the Flower Kings. If you don't like FK or Kaipa, then you're not going to have anything good to say about this.
