I just can't get with King/Wizard's slower, softer stuff. Their latest is seasickeningly jazzy, lilting relentlessly on brushy drums and sunny sketches. The vocals are a problem - those wiggly falsettos set me on edge, but the lack of real hooks or focus is the deal-breaker. Too frilly to rock out to, too weird to chill out to - points for uniqueness, another feather in the cap of the most prolific good band going, but it's a useless outing 3/5
