Todem Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Jumping in now finally. I have had and loved Faith Hope Love for over 20 years -- one of my favorite albums of that entire decade, but for some reason I never continued. Time to change that kids. Please also share a brief thought about each album, however brief or wordy as you want to be. A thousand thanks..! Presto, This is band I also, have never listed too. I am going to dive is as well and cull a majority from everyones top 3 and start with those 3 albums. I binged purchased everything from Rival Sons and love them now. I am ready for another band to add to the inventory!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so correct...it's a beautiful record. I remember taking a break from KX after Dogman...but then I discovered Ear Candy and I was back on the train!http://www.kramerskorner.com/ty-doug-jerry.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Gretchen, but I'm more drawn on a regular basis to other albums in the catalog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I have two King's X albums and because of this thread I am going to give them another chance. This morning I listened to Gretchen Goes to Nebraska and it left me feeling a little empty. Songs built around tons of riffs and a solid rhythm section. I admit the riffs pull me in but after that I don't find much to the songs. The melodies are okay and I think that's the problem for me - the melodies just don't grab me and hold my interest. All in all, it's not a bad album but nothing really separates it from the pack. I give it a 6/10. Up next is Faith Hope Love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
