Kings X Ogre Tones 2005(mp3 320kbs)ICM369
_____________________________________
Ogre Tones is King's X first studio album with new material in four years.
It is a bit darker and more melacholy than some of their early stuff.
I've heard different comparisons, but I'd say this CD has more in common
with Ear Candy than any other CD in the band's catalog.
Ogre Tones has a poppy, trippy, psychedelic feel to it, which the cover art
indicates.
As usual for King's X this disc is loaded with the trio's trademark vocal
harmonies, the songs are dynamic and the song writing is pretty varied from
song to song.
Hurricane, Freedom and Bebop have that heavy groove that is the band's
signature.
Honestly is a minimialist, acoustic ballad and a highlight on this CD.
This song could easily compete with Summerland as one of the band's finer
mellow moments.
Album opener and the first single from this album, Alone is a monster tune,
although not in the sense that it 'rocks out' like Dogman.
If this song could manage to get some radio play, I think it could bring the
band some of the fame that it so richly deserves.
Sooner or Later is a slow, dark, melancholy jam, this song is essentially a
cop of The Burning Down from Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, and similarly features
a killer, feedback-encrusted, guitar solo outro from Ty.
The reworking of Goldilox was a nice inclusion here, I am not sure but I think
this song is a bonus track that will not appear on all versions of Ogre Tones.
Lyrically, the group grapples with issues ranging from death to the current
unrest in the world.
I am sure someone will note and be offended by Dug's blatant use of an expletive
on Get Away.
