Free Music Notes for Strum Sum UpFree Music Review: dug's best Hit: 4 Starsthis is dug's best effort. so close to a kings x sound but yet a step up for his solo project.i would recommend this cd to any kings x fan.
Free Music Review: The very best of dUg to date! Hit: 5 StarsWow! This album is amazing. Don't get me wrong--the first three disks spent lots of time in my deck too, but this one just blows away everything dUg has done before. The grooves and the melodies stay in my mind long after the disk is off. And dUg's harmonies are delightful--nothing like hearing 4 or 5 dUgs singing together. Freakin' awesome. The idea of doing "Part 2" jams after some of the songs is genius. I like the way they naturally fade into the jams after the album mix so you don't notice you're into a new track at all. This is just really great songwriting and the best production of any of dUg's stuff. I was solidly blown away.
Free Music Review: Best Doug Pinnick album! Hit: 5 StarsBeing an old King's X fan, I'm always excited when one of the guys (usually Doug or Ty) put out some solo stuff. The latest Doug Pinnick album (he seems to be using "Dug" now) is his best solo effort yet.
Wally Farkas plays guitar all over the album. Dug (who normally plays bass on the King's X albums) also shares some guitar. The new players on this album makes for a interesting mix. The album is still heavy and aggressive like King's X, but with some pleasant eyebrow-raising fresh things.
Several of the songs have "Part Two" versions.
Perfect World, Pt.2
Dynomite, Pt.2
Life Is What You Make It, Pt.2
Cross It, Pt.2
and a real good groove on Coming Over that runs 10:01.
The production of Doug's earlier two solo projects was good but seemed heavier and muddier. This album sounds cleaner, and although heavy, has a lighter, uplifting classic groove to it.
If you enjoy King's X, you will be very happy with this solo project by Dug Pinnick.
Catch'em live if you can.

Free Music Review: I dig Dug Hit: 5 StarsDug Pinnick has blessed us with this new solo CD and I am loving every song on this disc. I love the variation!! This is one of the few CDs I could listen to know matter what mood I am feeling.
Free Music Review: WOW! Hit: 5 StarsI have been a King's X fan since I first saw them in 1989. Most of their stuff is superior to virtually anything out there. They are the best live band I have ever seen - bar none! The Ty solo stuff and his side projects have been awesome as well. I LOVE Doug, but have never been moved by his solo stuff - until NOW. This album is AWESOME! It has everything - soul, funk, harmonies, acoustic, heavy, rock, EVERYTHING that is good.
If you are at all a fan of KX or dUg, you will LOVE this album.
