Certainly we share a committed fandom of KK Rampage, but I do disagree on this particular point. Early KK Rampage songs qualify only for making a case that these guys are the most improved band of 2006.
I've written extensively about KK Rampage on a different message board today, so I'm kinda tapped out when it comes to further explaining that. But I do intend it to be a compliment more than a slam.
When I think of their newer songs and their early meanderings around the edges of songforms, I generally think of the guitar and drums as being no less than 90% of the driving force. Perhaps this leaves one more area of development for KK Rampage as a band. But even if they continue to make EPs in the mold of
Lies, Deception, & Tall-Tales, they will just solidify themselves as a band that has grown from being largely antics-based to a band that can make really good and intriguing songs.
Well, there...I went ahead and explained myself, I guess.
