I've been going to KB gigs since they first formed. I've got copies of EPs that are totally unavailable now. I loved the band and everything they stood for.
I feel like by this time though, Itch's ego had taken over. He's a great front man, but unfortunately that stage charisma doesn't come without arrogance. Before there was balance but now...
There are pop songs on this record. Not poppy punk songs about hanging landlords or reclaiming the streets, but full-on godawful pop songs. It might make all the young girls hearts beat faster, but it don't amuse this cynical old bastard. Wasted Words is probably the worst KB song. There are a few here to contend with it however.
I'm still not convinced Tim Armstrong from Rancid is actually on 'Booted out of Hell.' If he is, he doesn't add anything.
The band is clearly trying to experiment, but the album just sounds a mess. It hasn't got the charm of previous releases, and mainly feels stale.
There's auto-tune, and cheesy female vocals. It's perhaps not bad for a pop album, but aside from a few good moments, even the political lyrics feel tired.
Save your money, and if you haven't got them already, go buy any of their 3 other albums. They are all brilliant. Reckon they just done this one for the money.
Oh, and of course don't give up the struggle, there's battles to be fought :-)

If this is the end, then it's a great note to end on.
Not their absolute anti-establishment best, but still better than most.

The first song sets the tone for the rest of the album, awesome. Since buying the album, track number 7, "This is my home" was on repeat for hours, it is so cleverly written. Plus a bonus for a majority of people with a music taste, Gavin Butler from the Blackout drops by for a very rare bit of history for The King Blues. Album overall is easily worth the money, the best album of the lot, 10 out of 10. Spud - PS - reading reviews brought me so close to not buying the album, good job I didnt listen. :)

Sad to see them go
Their last, and not their best. Still pretty excellent, but not as catchy as punk and poetry. A bit more reggae than punk.

Best left until the end
Introduced to the King Blues 3 years ago by my then 14 year old son. They were the best sound I had heard in years. Punk mixed with some ska and some reggae thrown in I loved them. Read more

Long Live The King Blues
I've been a King Blues fan for many years and I wasn't sure how I would feel listening to this, knowing it would be the final chapter in the amazing TKB story. Read more

Great Album! Great Band!
There is only one bad thing about this album: it is the last one by the band. Even though it is the "Final Chapter" it is one of my favourites and something the band can be proud... Read more
