Editorial Review: Product Description: As a music consumer you ve got to be extremely cautious with a term such as cult band . It is often used to describe acts who are commercially unsuccessful or by groups trying to disguise their musical inabilities. With all due respect, this is certainly not the case with King s X. Doug Pinnick (vocals, bass), Jerry Gaskill (drums) and Ty Tabor (guitars) are consummate professionals who enjoy a brilliant reputation amongst fans, media and their peers. King s X s status as a cult band stems from their long time significance on the international rock scene as an all encompassing, fresh and innovative band. Their brand new album XV again proves to be a classic example of intelligent, varied and imaginative rock, on which they combine flawless skills, great compositions and superb production. Produced by sound maestro Michael Wagener in Nashville, Tennessee, the Texan power trio have produced one of the best albums of their successful career. And that is saying something! Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Another Kings X success.I love this band. This CD is a return to form. Heavy, and dark in spots, but still full of their amazing harmonies, and talent. If you like this band, this is a MUST have. So get your today. Rating:  - Green Like Moss (it DOES grow on you)Honestly, I have been not only disappointed with more recent Kings X albums, but also with the majority of reviews on Amazon (long a trusted source for my music-buying forays)-- too often, the reviews are suffused with typical fan-style adulation and lack an objective critical perspective. In other words, I got tired of hearing "these guys still rock" in the absence of juicy details about exactly WHY. My first listen to any album is basically "do nothing but sit and absorb the music" (i.e. I'm not surfing online or washing dishes or whatever). After that first pass, I was thinking "XV" was a 3-star effort (for reference, I'd give the best songs on "Gretchen" or "Dogman" 5-stars without a second thought, whereas many songs on ... Read More: Rating: - Go Tell Somebody... seriouslyThis is either top right after Dogman or equal to it. It is so heavy but done tastefully... I used to give people Bulbous to listen to to get into the band but now I give them this album... it can do no wrong. The 12 string bass thunders through songs like Pray and the bluesy "No Lie" reminds me of the boys just jamming. This album has something for everyone... unless you really like Jerry. This is a Dug heavy album but I don't mind. Rating: - Not Quite the Home Run #2Following King's X since the Faith Hope Love days, I actually quit buying this band's albums after "Tape Head". Too dark and depressing and not in a good way (think Pink Floyd's "The Wall" for depressing in a good way.) "Ogre Tones" (produced by Michael Wagener) was a return to the band's old form. Not the same old album of yore, but a fresh reawakening of the band that I have come to know and admire from the earlier albums. I was excited about King's X for the first time in a long time! This one is growing on me slowly. The performances, the production, the harmonies and solos are all there in top form. The weak spot is the songwriting, in my opinion. There are some good subjects to talk about here (hypocrisy, consumerism) ... Read More: Rating: - so goodWe saw them perform live in Houston - always amazing and wonderful. I'm so glad that King's X continues to produce such good music. |
