First of all, this comes across as a very accessible effort with a satisfying degree of complexity and prog sensibilities. That being said, there are portions that are not particularly prog-centric, but still seem to fit anyway. There is nothing bad in the entire 94 minutes of music. It's a lot to absorb but worth the effort.

Description
[Machine Translation] The Flower Kings, led by Leune Stolt, an important figure in the Scandinavian progressive rock scene, is releasing a new album just one year and four months after their last one. This is the third album with original members Leune and Hasse, Jonas, who has participated in the band since 1999, and Zack and Mirko, who participated in the <Flower Kings Revisited> tour in 2018. This album also marks the return of founding member Michael Stolt for the first time in over 20 years. With virtually no touring for the past two years, the band was free to concentrate on recording new material, and also had the opportunity to dig up material that had been rejected from previous sessions. Some of the material was even written before the recording of the 1994 album "The Flower King. The album has a vintage feel in terms of sound, equipment, and instruments used, reflecting the melting pot of folk, symphonic, electronic, jazz, blues, funk, and 70's prog rock, and will appeal to prog rock fans of yesteryear. This product will be available for purchase on Friday, so products will be delivered on or after the day of release.

Description in Japanese
バイ・ロイヤル・ディクリー [Blu-spec CD2] / ザ・フラワー・キングス
北欧プログレッシヴ・ロック・シーンの重要人物、ロイネ・ストルト率いるザ・フラワー・キングスが前作から僅か1年4カ月のインターバルでリリースする新作。オリジナル・メンバーのロイネとハッセ、1999年から参加しているヨナスに、2018年の＜フラワー・キングス・リヴィジテッド＞ツアーに参加したザックとミルコを迎えての3作目。また、今作では結成メンバーのマイケル・ストルトが20年以上ぶりに復帰。この2年間ツアーが事実上ゼロだった状態の中、自由に新しいマテリアルのレコーディングに集中するとともに、過去のセッションでボツになった作品を掘り起こす機会にもなった。マテリアルの一部に至っては1994年のアルバム『ザ・フラワー・キング』をレコーディングした時よりも前に書かれたものまである。サウンド、機材、使用楽器など、ヴィンテージ感のあるアルバムに仕上がっており、フォーク、シンフォニック、エレクトロニック、ジャズ、ブルース、ファンク、70年代のプログレのるつぼを反映しているような作品で、往年のプログレ・ファンにも訴求出来る内容。 ※本商品は金曜販売開始商品のため、商品のお届けは発売日当日以降になります。
