Unfold the Future is the seventh studio album by progressive rock band The Flower Kings, which was released in 2002. It is also the band's third studio double-CD. A limited special edition of the album contained an instrumental bonus track.
This album also marks the first appearance of both drummer Zoltan Csörsz, replacing original member Jaime Salazar, and Pain of Salvation's frontman Daniel Gildenlöw, the latter as guest on vocals on several tracks.
The style of the album is marked by several influence of jazz music and experimentation, with the inclusion of two free-form jams (or three, counting the special edition bonus track), along with the band's traditional symphonic progressive rock style.
Famous quotes containing the words unfold the, unfold and/or future:
“Thoroughly to unfold the labyrinths of the human mind is an arduous task.... In order to dive into those recesses and lay them open to the reader in a striking and intelligible manner, ‘tis necessary to assume a certain freedom in writing, not strictly perhaps within the limits prescribed by rules.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

“Much that is natural, to the will must yield.
Men manufacture both machine and soul,
And use what they imperfectly control
To dare a future from the taken routes.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
