Classic Rock Bottom

Disclaimer: All info that does not reside in my brain is gathered from wikipedia.com (mostly because Jon can't stand it) unless otherwise noted.

I'm a bit late getting around to this week's AOTW.  So without further delay, I give you the self-titled fourth studio album from King's X.  If you aren't familiar with King's X, the band is an American power trio that dips into metal, funk and soul.  A little bit of it all.  

It's a cool album.  I really like the song Black Flag.  I like Lost In Germany too.  

A used copy can be had on Amazon for about 6 and a half bucks.  Buy some music, that's all I have to say this week.

Tracks:

1. The World Around Me

2. Prisoner

3. The Big Picture

4. Lost In Germany

5. Chariot Song

6. Ooh Song

7. Not Just For The Dead

8. What I know About Love

9. Black Flag

10. Dream In My Life 

11. Silent Wind

For no apparent reason, I could never get into their music (maybe because they aren't melodic), but I do have great respect for their talent and I do own some CD's of their side-projects and guest appearances.

Actually, if I remember correctly they had one song on one of those Bill & Ted Soundtracks and I do own both of those CD's.

That song (Junior's Gone Wild) sounds a bit different from anything else I've heard from them.

And I bought a CD on your recommendation. Not King's X, but it was never specified, so I guess it's OK.

This is where it went wrong imo. The first two albums were awesome, the third had
it's moments. This was just more of the same, with no great songs.

Coming after FHL, this was a bit of a letdown and it seemed even more of a letdown with their next album, "Dogman". But a King's X letdown is another bands greatest album ever, so nothing lost here. It grew on me with more listens, but it's somewhere middle to lower of the pack in King's X land but it would still be another band's greatest album ever!

Not melodic? Say what??!!!!

There is a simple test for that.

You have to ask yourself: "Would Mary Poppins sing these songs?"

I think not.

I don't know boss... I cant find anything about this band or its off-shoots that I can sink my ears into.  The songs are just not interesting.  The musicianship is top notch, I would never argue against that, everything else is flat...

I'm out of the Kings X business...

Good thing I'm not JS, I would post 'em for the next 5 weeks... 

So.......you guys want another series?
