Manic Moonlight is the ninth studio album by American rock band King's X, released in 2001 via Metal Blade Records.[6][7] The album was notable for its inclusion of electronic loops.[8]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]AllMusic called the album "the most confidently organic and groove-based record of [the band's] career."[2] Exclaim! wrote that "all the requisite solid performances, chunky grooves, flashy guitar work and beautifully realised vocal harmonies are here, but they're too often obscured by muddy compositions and an apparent desire to get modern with the use of samples, record scratching and loop beats."[7] In an article about Greg Prato's oral history of the band, Rolling Stone called the album "underrated."[8]
