King's X - XV (2008)

 

The 12th album from this band from USA.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars and vocals.

Five guests added backing vocals.

The band continued on despite of lack of any commercial success. They had carved out a niche for themselves and they had got a good fanbase. 

The band returned to much of their roots on this album. Clever melodies somewhere between psych rock, hard rock, gospel, blues, soul and funk. 

The music is hard rocking throughout. The ballad Repeating Myself showcases the band's ability to still write great songs. There is lots of quality in this band. A true class band.

There is a lot of good songs here and a couple of mediocre songs too. This album is a return to some sort of form for this band. It comes recommended.

3 points
