Another year, another great Electric Six album.

Who would've thought these guys would be this prolific (6 albums in 6 years? Who do they think they are, the Beatles?) and not run out of ideas by now?

"Kill" is a very impressive offering, one that's definitely more ROCK! than DANCE! (though those looking for more synthy, dancey stuff should check out Evil Cowards, e6 frontman Dick Valentine's electronica side project, its quite good) but one thats just as consistent and good as anything else the band has done.

"Kill" does seem to be a darker and heavier album than those preceding it, the bass production is rather thick and the electronica sounds they weave in and out of the songs give the whole album a darker texture than the others.


If you're already an e6 fan, pick this up without delay, its a great album.

If you're new to the band, I'd suggest Senor Smoke, as its my personal favorite, but as I've said before, they haven't made a bad album yet. Just get them all, they deserve your money more than any other band I know.

I'm finally seeing them live later this month in Milwaukee, I'm totally psyched.

5.0 out of 5 stars Electric Six are still rockin' the casbah, October 20, 2009

Electric Six continue their more stripped down "rock" sound that was evident with Flashy, abandoning (most) of the comedy. There are some slight retreats to their funky disco style seen on previous records, specifically on Body Shot. The synth has been toned down a bit too. The production quality on Kill is fantastic though and the guitar work has been taken up a notch. This is more of an album to rock out too than dance. However, E6 have plenty of "dance" albums in their back catalogue so I applaud them for not sounding too repetitive.

If you didn't enjoy Flashy then you may or may not like Kill. I personally think this album is better than Flashy, but not as good as Switzerland or Senor Smoke. If you like straight up rock with some funny lyrics then this is the album for you. Dick Valentine (Tyler Spencer) is in top form vocally.

Considering this band has been going strong since their debut album Fire in 2003, with six albums already released (& side project Evil Cowards), I would expect that they will have another record out next year. Hopefully they will take a more synth-heavy direction next time.

Pick up Kill, its one of their better records.

Highlight tracks: Body Shot, White Eyes, You're Bored, & I Belong In A Factory.
