This. One of the things I really like about Flower Kings albums is that, apart from the songs themselves, they are for the most part very nice sounding recordings. It's hard for me to separate the sonics from the songs after a while. I do think that Back In The World Of Adventures and Retropolis sound quite similar to each other, but otherwise I think most of the albums do have distinct differences. As far as songwriting I think things have evolved over time, but there's definitely the thread of a trademark sound (songwriting-wise) which runs through them all which is largely Roine's musical fingerprints.
But like you, aith01, I've heard these a lot over the years.
