Free Music Review: KING'S X TEH GROOVE
Hit: 5 Stars

Outstanding grooves are omnipresent on _Mr. Bulbous_, attributable to the band's amazing synergy and great writing. Take the opener, "Fish Bowl Man". It opens up the album with a sigh of feedback before the main rhythm comes together. Here, Pinnick's bass takes random stabs through the gruff rhythm and Gaskill's odd-time beat is strangely hypnotic. Mm, groovy sauce! The tune is not just groovy, it's quite uncanny: the weird (and catchy) chorus, the spooky spoken-word bridge, and the reflective metaphorical lyrics.

A highlight among highlights is the guitar sunshine and fantastic layered vocal arrangements of a tune titled... "Charlie Sheen" (?huh?). I also really like the soaring guitar hooks of "She's Gone Away", which also has an outstanding, boiling solo soaked in a bluesy juice, placed atop a groovy groundwork of deep-toned rhythm. The 10-minute "Move Me", split into two tracks, pulls all the stops - heavy duty riffs, psychedelic guitar, and freewheeling rhythm. "Smudge" has verses that sound quite creepy, both due to the grim rhythm of Pinnick's vocals and the sinister tone of the slow, moody instrumentation. A grinding guitar line carries up the memorable chorus shared by Ty and Doug. "Bittersweet" is a very short song, with great vocal harmonies and sparkling, spare beauty. And all the songs have DEADLY ROCK GROOVE. Except "Bittersweet".

Whether you like change or not, it's happening to King's X. Come along for the ride or stay on the couch - just hope you don't miss anything you'll really like.
