Mansun - Little Kix album flac

Little Kix is the third album by English alternative rock band Mansun, released on 14 August 2000. It marked a departure from their previous style, employing a more commercial sound. Little Kix was Mansun’s third album, and was a dramatic turnaround of the band's sound after the sprawling Six, dropping its predecessor’s prog rock styling for a more commercial and soulful sound. The album was recorded in difficult circumstances in Pink Floyd's old studio on a boat, Astoria.

Differing from the mentioned butterfly Mansun failed to turn into something new on Little Kix. Much criticized for their previous magnificent album Six by the horde of mediocrity they decided to make this one more on the popular side. The album sounds beautifully polyphonic but smoothness and the shortage of originality just threw the band down from the heights they had vanquished earlier with their previous bountiful albums.

After all, Mansun went from brooding glam-ish guitar rock on their 1997 debut, Attack of the Grey Lantern, to all-out prog song structures and abstrusities on the astonishing follow-up, Six. They haven't exactly been pointing the way to Little Kix. Little Kix could, at times, be mistaken for a Draper solo album for all the effort the other guys appear to be investing. Guitarist Dominic Chad contributes some nice lead touches occasionally, but bassist Stove King and drummer Andie Rathbone seem content with just laying down a nice pocket.

Mansun's Little Kix is an album of the joke being on them. Attack of the Grey Lantern brazenly screamed its melodies amidst the pomp and circumstance, Six showed that Marillion-like "concept" albums even had their place in the post-Brit-pop landscape, and on both attempts, the more Mansun seemed out of touch with the masses, the better off they were. Here, the band simply seems out of touch with themselves. As leadoff single "I Can Only Disappoint U" croons in with over-accented curls and turns, one notices that the band's characteristic over-production is turned.
