This is, in fact, only Battle Without Honor or Humanity by Tomoyasu Hotei. It is a very, very cool instrumental track.
10/10
KILL MY DOUBT - ITZY
There is a song on this EP called Psychic Lover, which I can only assume is an ode to one of the greatest Japanese rock bands. For sure.
Highlights: Kill Shot, CAKE
7/10
KiLLER BiSH - BiSH
The major label debut with still a strong alt. idol flavour, and the intent is loud and clear from the opening track; get ready for destruction! Lots of madness and screaming with KiLLER hooks. Helluva consistent album, this one.
Highlights: DEADMAN, summertime, Throw away, 本当本気
8/10
A Kind of Magic - Queen
This is the album that made me buy all the 2011 reissues; I had the 1991 remaster most of my life and it was so terribly compressed it was almost unlistenable once I got proper ears. I always get in my head that this album is not that great, but it really is only 2 songs. The rest is absolute perfect examples of Queen; big rock, massive ballad, triumphant pop.
Highlights: One Vision, Friends Will Be Friends, Gimme The Prize (Kurgan's Theme), A Kind of Magic
8/10
KiND PEOPLE / リズム - BiSH
Oooh a double-dose of BiSH this morning. The most average of 'rock' songs with an awesomely massive power ballady-type thing.
Highlights: リズム
7.5/10
King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime - Faith No More
This was such a departure compared to Angel Dust. Less keyboards. No rapping. No "gay disco". Much less fun. Even Mike Patton's vocal stylings are way different. I remember a friend of mine at the time of release wondering if he had been replaced. It varies between wannabe thrash metal and lounge jazz and just straight-up schlock before ending with some almost gospel.
Highlights: Ricochet, The Gentle Art of Making Enemies, Cuckoo for Caca, Just a Man
7/10
King of Rock - Run-D.M.C.
This is certainly not my favourite Run-D.M.C. album, but they sure have some killer rhymes going on. Because I have the bonus tracks, I will add that the Beastie Boys version of Slow and Low is actually superior. Somehow.
Highlights: King of Rock, Can You Rock It Like This, Darryl and Joe (Krush-Groove 3), You Talk Too Much
8/10
KINGDOM - SPYAIR
More epic rock. Less memorable than anything on their BEST album, which probably makes sense? It still rocks. Genuinely need more SPYAIR.
Highlights: Don't Look Back, Brand New Days, RAGE OF DUST, スクランブル
7/10
Kingdom Come - Jay-Z
This album is best enjoyed by ignoring everything Jay-Z is rapping about. Because it is all so much more vapid than usual; like, the dude always raps about being rich and what not, but it just feels even more egregious here. Particularly when he raps about being friends with Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. Boy, that line has aged poorly. I would say the same about this album, but I do not believe it was even considered good back in 2006.
Highlights: Beach Chair, Kingdom Come, Do You Wanna Ride, Show Me What You Got
6/10
Kinky - Kinky
I love Kinky, but this album is their least memorable and outside of the absolutely brilliant Cornman, there is nothing that sticks. I will say, though, that it is consistently groovy overall. Probably because 90% of the songs sound the same.
Highlights: Cornman, Ejercicio #16, Tonos Rosa,
