KING'S X

In 1992, almost all the elite of metal and hard music had nothing but good things to say about King's X (even Yngwie Malmsteen, although not a model of open-mindedness). Between the lack of recognition and the tensions with producer Sam Taylor, King's all the usual ingredients are present on the record, the recipe is scrupulously followed but the sauce does not take. The riffs lack substance, the choruses are too predictable, and in short, there is no enjoyable and spontaneous feeling of Gretchen Goes to Nebraska and Faith Hope Love. When Doug Pinnick admits to not even remembering the recording of this album, it helps to identify the problem: King's X makes an appearance, and that's it. The highlight of the album is "Dream in My Life"
