This is the third album released in 1990 by one of the world’s best rock bands. The first 5 albums are untouchable! Every one a masterpiece of the genre. The thing about KingsX is that when they appeared on the scene in ’88 no one had heard anything quite like them, and they were not as immediate as all the bands doing the rounds at the time. The three part harmonies are just superb, and add that to a killer rhythm section and a great guitar player, you can’t ask for much more. I personally love them, and the Grooveman monicker that I go by is from the track Groove Machine from the Tape Head album.
The opening track, We are Finding Who We Are, has a killer vibe and groove that only this band can do. As soon as you hear them you know it’s KingsX, no one sounds like them. The Beatles influences are more evident on this album than any other they have done, especially on the three part harmony lines on I’ll Never Get Tired Of You, Mr Wilson, and Six Broken Soldiers. One of may favourite all time KingsX tracks is We Were Born To Be Loved which is just incredible. The riff, groove, and off time interchanges are just nuts – and those harmonies! I think everyone should own the first 5 albums as they will put so much joy in your soul.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
