Living Colour gets all the press, but King's X is actually a far more interesting blend of funk and hard rock. Imagine a power trio composed of Bootsy Collins, Leslie West and Ginger Baker, and you get some idea of the cartoonish but exuberant heavy metal funk served up by King's X on its fifth album, "Dogman." Producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots) has captured the trio's vigorously syncopated rhythms, metallic clash and hooky vocal harmonies with an old-fashioned live feel. The lyrics are comicbook nonsense; the chord changes are pedestrian, and nothing is as memorable as the band's 1990 hit, "It's Love," but "Dogman" reminds you how much raucous fun hard rock used to be before it calcified into a dour, plodding exercise in self-importance. Doug Pinnock's bass puts the boogie back into heavy metal, and guitarist Ty Tabor has finally learned to play rhythmically as well as squealingly.

A far more interesting singer than Corey Glover or James Hetfield, Pinnock proves you can still carry a tune when screaming like Robert Plant. When the three voices soar sweetly above the sonic assault on songs as catchy as "Fool You," "Don't Care" or "Complain," the effect is hard to resist. They close out the album with a manic live version of Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression." --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars Ever feel like life's beating you down? King's X knows........2007-05-10

Can I bend your ear (or eyes I guess) for a minute?

You ever feel like life is kicking the crap out of you. The Dogman understands you. He gets you.

Doug, Ty and Jerry lay it all out in soulful verse over pounding drums, sick guitar licks and outrageous bass (Doug plays a 12 string bass like no one I have ever seen). The 12 sting bass should be a requirement but I just think that everyone stays away because no one can do with it what Doug does. He is the poster child for Hamer Basses because he has made their 12 string a thing of lust and desire of bassists around the world; I know, I am one of the lusting bass players that knows I have no prayer of ever pulling this kind of insane bass line on 12 STRINGS! DID YOU HEAR ME? 12 STRINGS! THE GUY IS AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, UNBELIEVABLE, GIFTED BEYOND BELIEF.

There is not one bad song on this album. Not even one that I could classify as a borderline song. This is the most solid album the band produced to date of release and still may be their album of legacy because it just doesn't get any better than this.

The standout track is a standout for one reason only; it is a LIVE VERSION OF "MANIC DEPRESSION". You know, that little diddy that Jimi Hendrix played so well all those years ago. If I didn't know any better, I would think that Jimi came back and sang with King's X for this one show. Doug hits the same blue notes of pain that Jimmy made an artform. What is amazing is that it is LIVE! These guys just make it look too easy. ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVE RECORDINGS BY ANY BAND EVER. OK, next.

"Shoes" deals with the pain that causes people to commit suicide, "Pretend" seems to be directed at pleasing people because the truth just gets you in trouble even if the truth is the best answer, "Flies And Blue Skies" is a blues/rock tune that oozes pain, "Black The Sky" is a cry for peace and quiet, for a chance to be left alone, "Fool You" is hard to call, Doug was dealing with some serious issues with people that take advantage, "Don't Care" kind of says it all, except that there is pain because he doesn't want to let go, "Sunshine Rain" is another blues/rock tune that hurts, beautiful pain, "Complain" just points to the fact that we always have something to bitch about but rarely put it in context, "Human Behavior" speaks of every person's battle with conscience, "Cigarettes" is a cry for attention, a truly sad song if you listen to the words, "Go To Hell" is a quick 30 second blast of loud guitars, bass and drums with lyrics that no one has yet to understand, and finally "Pillow" is a hard hitting cry for sleep in my mind, I feel the pressure because I struggle sleeping because I can't shut my mind down and the wrongs that are done to me each day are a big part of that, tough to let go.

If I had to recommend 1 King's X album, other than their best of which followed the album after Dogman, I would say with 100% assurance that this is the one you have to have. The pain and grief expressed on this album is a mirror through which each of us should look at ourselves.

This album got me through my late teen years. I listened to it, angry at the world. Then, 1 night after I saw them in concert, Doug spoke to me for about 45 minutes and opened up to me about life, love and the pressures of trying to stand up for what you believe in when everyone is kicking you around. We wrote back and forth for several years after and I credit him with helping me to grow up. If you are out there. Thanks Doug. You changed my life.

4 out of 5 stars Classic Album From Unknown Greats.......2007-03-05

King's X has never gotten the success they deserve. Despite an accessible style, great musicianship, and the creation of a unique sound which is widely loved among musicians, they have always struggled upstream in the industry. Dogman is a fine example of their unique and compelling sound which is an excellent place for old fans who are out of touch with their music (like myself) and new fans as well.

Dogman, in many ways, is a straight-forward King's X album, but is becoming a favorite of mine because of it is the kind of album both fans of progressive music and just fans of music in general would enjoy. King's X play a very cool brand of rock music with grooving bass, old-school hard rock vocals with sweet Beatles-esque harmonies, and the inimitable guitar stylings of Ty Tabor, whose tone rivals that of David Gilmour. Incorporating rock, metal, classical and folk with occasional psychedelic and prog rock flourishes, this band is amazing.

5 out of 5 stars Another King's X flavour.......2006-12-27

After GRETCHEN GOES TO ALASKA, this is my 2nd King's X cd. It is considerably heavier, but has the same collection of quality material. Every song takes on a life of it's own after a few listens. This is extremely accessible PROG ROCK ( a genre I am normaly not that fond of ) and the hooks will get you. These are not singalong songs, but after a dozen listens, they might as well be as you find yourself singing along to every track. Add to that the sensational virtuosity of the band and you should be convinced that these guys are criminaly underrated and underapriciated. This defies description and pidgeonholing. Sufice to say: IF YOU LIKE MUSIK, BUY IT!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars You Gotta Love Kings X.......2006-07-02

Although this album is vastly different from earlier more intricate releases such as Silent Planet,Gretchen or even the experimental Ear Candy,it remains in my opinion one of the finest efforts by the band. Many of the songs on this disc would be strong opponents to a lot of the bass driven and groove laden hard rock currently soaking the airwaves. That being said,most of the tunes on Dogman literally blow much newer bands out of the water. The songwriting is a bit more pedestrian this time out,more stripped down than previous undertakings,but overall a very satisfying listen and no other modern group that I can think of can hold a candle to the mighty Kings. I highly recommend this and virtually everything these guys have done, and if you are a newcomer to this band Dogman would be a fine place to begin your journey. I knew of this band for a long time but really only began to seriously listen about 5 years ago, and I can honestly say they are one of my favorite rock groups EVER. I dont think I have ever heard any of their music on the radio,which is just criminal,as there are a veritable plethora of bands currently enjoying major rotation that dont have one iota of the talent of Kings X. Buy this and turn it up,and enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Absolutly Crushing!.......2006-06-02

This my friends is my favorite kinkg's x cd. This is as crushing as Panteras Vulger display of power, Slayers Reign In Blood, Metellicas Master Of Puppets.

By crushing I mean the overall heaviness of the entire cd. When I first put this on I could not believe how brutal yet melodic it was! Every song fits like a glove. There's no way anyone should give this anything less then 5 stars. Crank it up and tell me Dogman doesn't sound like a giant slamming his feet to the ground crushing everything around him!

            5 out of 5 stars Dogman & the Shepherds - I thought they were lost forever.......2005-12-30

            I listened to this album a LOT in the mid 80's as a DJ at WRPI. I loved it then, and thought any record of this band (other than the vinyl back in the radio station vault) was lost forever. I've searched for this before with no luck. I'll now be trying to buy this used.

            This music is blues, with a Texas feel. It drives, it's lonesome and haunting, and real. I wonder where these artists are now - I'd definitely check them out.
