Man - Kingdom Of Noise (2009)

 

The 15th album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

One guest added drums on two tracks.

I have not been impressed by the latest albums by this band. The last album Diamonds And Coal from 2006 was their first without any original members. It was also a dire album. So I had no expectations to the three quarters of an hour long Kingdom Of Noise.

The music is a blend of mainstream rock and Americana. 

The music is pedestrian and pretty basic. The music is meant to be catchy..

The vocals are pretty good. The lead vocals are male vocals but there is also some female backing vocals. The latter one is pretty naff and cheesy.

Cheesy... That describe most of the music here. There are some decent songs here inbetween some pretty dire songs. This is not an album this band should be remembered for.
