This album was a major disappointment for me after hearing the superior "Dead Reckoning," Kane's previous album. Other than the witty "You're Just Taking Up Space," there are no songs here up to the level of the previous album. Perhaps the worst track is the utterly pointless cover of "Its a Wonderful World," a strong indication that Kane ran out of musical ideas at some point. Skip this album and go with "Dead Reckoning" instead.

Kieran Kane doesn't need big words and an impressive instrumental environment. Six months no sun comes to you almost with an apology, 'sorry to disturb you, but I thought maybe you would like to hear me'. But make no mistake. It's a powerful piece of work, from someone who has to say something. At first you say: 'nice', but almost without realizing it you play it over and over again. I reckon it will shine for months and months.

This is a positively excellent choice to add to your collection. There is not a bad cut on the CD and many are such stand-outs that they alone would be worth the price of purchase. Give a listen to "Kill the Demon", "In a Town This Size" or "Hysteria".

Right from the opening song, "Table Top Dancer" until the infectious final cut "J'Aime Faire l'Amour", (you will find yourself signing along whether you speak French or not), Kane takes the listener on a wonderfully varied, captivating and rhythmic journey which nicely showcases his writing style and vocals.

Each release by Kane has its own tone and charms and this title is no different. There is much to like and recommend from this effort. Give a listen to the samples and you'll see. Make the purchase and you'll find yourself coming back to play this again and again.

Never before has an album captured me the way this one did. I listened to over and over. Plus it was all I listened to for a long time. I have to admit it took me awhile to get it to it, but once Kill The Demond really hit me, it was true love from then on. I was really disapionted when I read the No Depression review of the album. It was obvious that Grant Alden hardly listened to it because when he described songs he got them wrong. He said Physical Thing was about an addiction to a woman, when really it is about an alcoholic. People who read No Depression excpet better. This is one of the best albums I have ever heard and it is ashame that more people don't know about it. If you are interested, Amazon.com is honestly the only place I have been able to find it. The music is complicated and the writing is intense. Defently a must have.
