[kj] MMXII album reviews:

[GREG SLAWSON]

I think this album will be more listenable than AD b/c the sound and styles are more consistent. AD had some groundbreaking stuff (Great Cull, In Excelcis) and
some enjoyable tunes (Raven King, Singularity), a "hit" (ESS) etc but this one seems less like several different albums put toghethe.
But I don't really know, b/c I CAN"T GET THE DOWNLAOD TO WORK!

Subject: [kj] MMXII album reviews:





KJ website indicates early reviews from MOJO (4/5), Classic Rock (9/10) and Artrocker (4/5).
 
I sense disappointment on this list. I think I had almost unachievable expectations after AD and thankfully, they didn't make AD.2
 
This album is not the epoch-defining game-changer we were hoping for. It is, however, a solid effort, a worthy addition to the canon and definitely in keeping with their two-album pattern since 1994. It does not have all the immmediately memorable tunes from AD, but it has several along with some growers and a couple duff tracks.. The fact that several people on this list have already cited specific songs as either the best or worst on the album indicates that KJ is still doing their job.
