Flowers (Echo & the Bunnymen album)

Flowers is the ninth studio album released by the English rock band Echo & the Bunnymen in May 2001.

The cover art is from a book by Michael Lesy called Wisconsin Death Trip (1973).

MacKenzie Wilson of AllMusic gave the album a 4.5 stars rating, praising the sound of album saying "Still clinging to the post-punk snarl that made them cult favourites during the '80s, Echo and the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant maintain a stunning inventiveness as they enter into the third decade of the band."

she also observed, "McCulloch isn't an angst-ridden punk -- he's aged with class -- and Sergeant's typically moody guitar work has mellowed."

"[8] Wall of Sound gave a positive review, stating "Flowers features the familiar psychedelic-tinged pop songwriting, chiming guitars, and unmistakable voice that have always been the group's trademark, but 20 years down the road, experience, nostalgia, and longing have tempered the band's sound.
