A coworker in the record store turned me onto their debut in 1988. Fell in love with the band. Saw them tour albums 2-6 and a few times since. They never fail to bring it live. It’s a shame that they never broke huge, like they should’ve… in a perfect world. For me, and I’m sure I stated the same thing in last month’s show, it’s the Atlantic Records era. I love their first brace of albums from 1988-1986. That’s the stuff for me. And yes, I will be here for all future shows in this series. ~ Davey Cretin, from Cretin Classics.

First! Dogman through Mr. Bulbous...a heavy, turning quirky and weird time for King's X. Under appreciated era. I listen to these album as much as the "classics".

I made a huge mistake by forgetting that Manic Moonlight is the next album and then Black Like Sunday.

[@ericerickson4252]

Black Like Sunday (2003) comes after Manic Moonlight...then Ogre Tones (2005).

@@ericerickson4252 Right but here’s the thing about BLS. Those songs pre date OOTSP so I tend to perceive it as the debut album. Thanks 🙏

[@ericerickson4252]

@@shyshift Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of BLS. Songs sound and feel dated. Is every song a re-work of old material? I will say that "Two" is a favorite. Both the newer version and demo.

Ear candy definitely marks the change in their sound from the heavy kings x to the more jamband sounding kings x. That greatest hits is cool but i believe Atlantic released a box set or something called the Atlantic years. I love please come home mr. Bulbus. I can see parts in that album where they try to go back to the faith hope love style. Imo.

THe Sherrif album was actually quite good,guys. Sort of in the Boston dynamic of melodic rock. Very solid singer- Freddy Curci ..you may dig it. I'm sure it's on y-tube..search it out. T

[@tristanbrennan5684]

I wouldn't say dogman is heavier than previous albums but definitely takes on the grunge style. So many bands that year trying to go for that sound. I was once playing some black Sabbath tony martin stuff from around that time and i had some friends point out to me that even sabbath was playing with the grunge sound. Pointing out the riffs were leaning more towards an alice in chains style.

Altho Dogman did end up growing on me, the band never bettered the first four, IMHO. T
