And what's the difference between the edit and the standard version?

The edit version is shortened to 3:47 for radio play, etc...

Tell me what's so good about it. ;D
I 'obtained' the album 'Adam & Eve' and I thought it was a nice album, but I was not thinking "D**n, this album is so good". Maybe 'Paradox Hotel' can make me think that. So how is 'Paradox Hotel' better than 'Adam & Eve'?

I hear a lot about The Flower Kings lately, but I can't get myself to listen to them, maybe their latest is different.


I'm planning to buy:

- Arena - Contagion The Max (of course!!)
- A.C.T. - Last Epic
- Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory
- Dream Theater - Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence
- IQ - The Seventh House
And some more

But WHERE IS MY MONEY?!?!?!?!?! :P

It indeed is better than A&E which was a nice but standard, more rocky album than the previous, jazzy Unfold The Future album. The epic "Monsters & Men" for instance is marvelous, though as an epic fan i'm easily impressed.  ;)
By the look on the lyrics it seems to be a conceptual story but i haven't figure out yet what the story is. Heard it three times now.
The artwork is pretty weird though. Quite cartoonesque.

It's has all the ingredients you expect from The Flower Kings. Songs with humor and songs in sober earnest.
Most of the songs are not 'that' long though. The lion's share is below the ten minutes.

It's not their best album thusfar though, in my opinion that is, 'cos i think that Stardust We Are and Flower power are unbeatable but this album obtained the first place for me.  ;D

An old fashioned 2cd, like we are used to by TFK.

Hope this helps a bit.  ;)

Greetz,

The answer:

Quote from: www.theflowerkings.seThematically, the record deals with the curiosity of existence, and the "Paradox Hotel" is a reference to people's life on Earth. "We are only guests here; we can't take much with us. We check in, we use the hotel bar, pay the bill – you get nothing for free – and then leave again sometime", Stolt explains the concept. "We live for a while, without having any real idea of our purpose. Good things as well as bad things apparently happen by coincidence, but they always happen when we least expect them. Nobody has ever seen God, the manager of this 'establishment' but most people suppose he is doing his job somewhere"

Just to inform you.  ;D

Any idea when it's being sent out? I ordered the Caught In The Act dvd on the same day as that (21/3) but neither order has been processed. Tried emailing Verglas a couple of days ago but haven't had a reply as yet.

Well, at Progstore they mentioned 27/3 as the release date, so it can arrive here any moment i guess.

That'll be soo nice.  ;D

Apart from all the Arena cds I've been buying...

All of Symphony X's albums, love 'em
Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane
The Tangent - A Place In The Queue
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Evergrey - The Inner Circle
Amplifier - Amplifier
Dead Soul Tribe - A Murder of Crows
Anathema - alternative 4

and Deadwood season 2 on dvd  :)

Will , what is the Anathema like ? As a fellow Scouser i really should have checked them out a long time ago. Any recommendations mate ?

I have recently gone a bit "indie" and bought the best of The Smiths and Blur plus who killed the Zutons. They are all ok but .. it just isnt prog  8)

I am about 15 minutes away from winning Second life syndrome by Riverside on E bay so fingers crossed

Hello mate  :)

I must admit that cd hasn't really grabbed me as yet, but I've only listened to it a couple of times so far so I wouldn't like to say "yay" or "nay" on that basis  ;)

Is it new/sealed? If not, I'd step back from buying it, if I were you. If it's a used item, the band won't have any benefit from it. Indie bands like the one's we're listening to in here deserve our support, I find... Just my 2c, on a side note.
