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.

I just meant it in the way that their vocals don't seem to have any lyrical content and were more or less just going along and sounding like another instrument. Especially with releases like
Friend Face and
Anesthetize and Degrade. I completely understand what you said, though, man.
