King’s X has been around since the end of the 70’s, making powerful hard rock and progressive metal that should have made them much bigger than they ever have been. Think Rush, only without the pretentious sci fi themes and vocals that are thousands of times more listenable than anything Geddy Lee has ever dreamed of doing. King’s X is a trio, but they sound much larger than that. Part of the reason why they have never reached the upper level of success is that they have been unfairly labeled as a Christian band, something that they most definitely are not. This self titled effort is their fourth album, released during the hair metal heyday of the Hollywood era. And, man…is this thing front loaded. Guitarist Ty Tabor is a beast, plain and simple, and deserves much more credit than he has ever received as a player. The vocals are powerful, with all 3 members singing in fierce harmony through songs that are surprisingly melodic.

And songs…this album has enough of them to keep you interested through the first half for sure…it’s as solid a first half as you will ever find on a heavy album. It’s tuneful and it rocks hard. And on “Chariot Song”, they sing the line “Are you going my way” with more conviction than Lenny Kravitz would ever have. The seconds half lags…more than just a little bit. This album is definitely top heavy and uneven, but man, when they are on, these guys can bring it. And sing it. They’re smart, serious, questioning their own spirituality (hence the erroneous Christian tag), and they are exceptional players. With bands like this, it always comes down to songs, a test that King’s X passes exactly half of the time. A ratio that, unfortunately, should be higher. Their better albums (Gretchen Goes To Nebraska, Faith Hope Love and Dogman) are better because they are more consistent. But if you’re a fan of this kind of rock, you’ll enjoy this one for sure. When it’s good…it’s really good.

interesting to see i'm not the only person here to include both brenda kahn's "epiphany in brooklyn" and kristen hall's "fact and fiction" in the same list :-)
