I have never picked up Manic Moonlight as when I first heard some of it, it didn't appeal. I forget that they often grow on me. Anyways, finally picked up a cheap copy, (sorry Ty, Dug, and the other guy) and it kicks. It's not the first four or five albums but Ty's tone is intact and some great groove.

"The other guy" is Jerry Gaskill. Smile

And yes, Manic Moonlight is an excellent album. Smile Smile

definitely different and probably my least favorite release.. well maybe that is Tapehead... But I love it. Even the least favorite releases are soooo great. I am a total fanboy of those guys. Dug's last two solo albums have been very strong and I really really loved Ty Tabor's Rock Garden with its great 70s vibe

I knew it was Jerry, you just never hear about him. My attempt at humor.

I'm a fanboy too though I can never get into Dug's solo stuff. I miss Ty's guitar too much. I could never get into, Please Come Home, no matter how hard I tried.

REALLY??? Bulbous is one of my faves... it was so reminciscent of the earlier material

Dug's last solo album was very strong IMO

Manic Moonlight isn't their best work, but there is still some very good stuff on it...I love "False Alarm"...and "Believe"...

Hmm... I might have to dig out Please come home... too, then Veddy interrresting - I've had somewhat of a kick on Manic Moonlight recently myself. (Although calling a king's X album being good a "surprise" is just plain wrong...! Evil or Very Mad )

Until then...
Praaay for me.. pray for me! If you really... do believe - then don't forget to pray for me...

Before I traded off the bulk of my King's X to Mr. Of Fire, I was really diggin the later albums more than the earlier ones. Bulbous, Tape Head, and Manic Moonlight were all regular players for me.

So to be relavent to the thread, I must say that Manic Moonlight is an oft overlooked King's X masterpiece.

I love Supershine. I think Dug needs a really good guitar player to bring out his best.

You know when I saw KX in Seattle on the Ogretones tour they had played Chicago a few nights earlier. He said that Bruce was at the showing hanging out and that they were working on another Supershine album that was going to be waaay better.

I was/am excited.

Has anyone here heard Strum Sung Up? I really like it and was curious what others thought

Some of it here

I got the new KING'S X disc on Saturday. I'm on my second spin now, and while its not as immediate to me as Ogre Tones was, it's still very good & growing on me. The first thing I notice is the utter lack of guitar solos. Ty just doesn't solo much, if at all (nothing comes to mind as I type), on this record. The backing vocals are a little more "gang chorus" than stacked harmonies (although there are harmonies present). Jerry takes lead vocals on a song (first time since Ear Candy, I believe). Much of this record has a really loose, live feel...like they just cranked everything up to 11 and rocked! dUg sounds great, as does Ty. The songs to vary nicely from track to track.

Once I give it a more in depth listen, I'm going to post an official review. But once again I can say that KING'S X chose to NOT do whatever it was they did last time and moved on again to something slightly different.

Sounds pretty good to me. Maybe one day I'll hear it. Smile
