After taking the world of rock music by storm with last year's surprise hit »Amber Galactic«,which was nominated for a Swedish Grammy and accompanied by a European tour that left fans speechless, Swedish classic/progressive rock supergroup THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA have released their impatiently awaited next album, »Sometimes The World Ain't Enough« today via Nuclear Blast.
The album was declared as "The summer album of the year" by ROCK HARD Germany's chief in editor, Boris Kaiser. Just like its predecessor, the album reached high positions in various European magazines' soundchecks:
- AARDSCHOK (NL) - album of the month
- ROCK HARD (GER) - album of the month
- ROCK HARD (FR) - album of the month
- SWEDEN ROCK (SWE) - album of the month
- ECLIPSED (GER) - #2
- METAL HAMMER (GER) - #2
- ROCK IT (GER) - #2
- POWERMETAL.DE (GER) - #3
- DEAF FOREVER (GER) - #5
A message from the bridge: "Do you know what THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA went through to get here? Curses, omens and maledictions. Dust storms and hordes of locusts. It‘s a wonder that they made it. But nothing stops a bunch of melancholic Swedes except for the Swedes themselves. And they don‘t want to be stopped. They want to conquer the world. And with their new album, »Sometimes the World Ain‘t Enough«, they might just have a chance.
Combining all the depressed longing, the desperate yearning, the unfulfilled wishes they‘ve all carried around for decades, they have finally managed to open a gate to another dimension with »Sometimes the World Ain‘t Enough«, a place where the champagne is stronger, all the females are undercover space commanders in evening gowns and pearl necklaces, and even their cats want to bite you. Ouch, says THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA, unperturbed, and carry on spreading their gospel of classic rock, content that they finally are where they‘ve always wanted to be.
’Cause we all need a dimension to call home."

When asked about the direction of NFO within the realm of classic rock, Strid explains with a chuckle: "Most other classic rock bands sound like weed or LSD - we sound like cocaine."
»Amber Galactic« was recorded at Handsome Hard Studio in Lund, Sweden. The album follows THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA's two previous releases, 2012‘s »Internal Affairs«and 2015‘s »Skyline Whispers«.
