Chris Corner's best IAMX release?

"I actually didn't love this album the first time I heard it-- and that's coming from a loyal Sneaker Pimps fan, and from someone who instantly fell in love with both of his previous IAMX albums. I was disappointed that this album didn't have any driving dance beats, like I'd heard on tracks like "Kiss & Swallow" and "Nightlife".
I've been listening to this album on repeat for a few days, though, and each time, it gets ten times better. Chris's voice is at its best in this album, and the songs are more memorable than they have ever been. This album is more mature, more epic, and is produced perfectly.
Corner's incorporation of 3/4 time waltzes, hauntingly pretty piano, and soaring vocals set him apart from other electro-rock, dark wave acts.
For anyone into this style of music, Kingdom of Welcome Addiction should not be missed!"
IAMX hits a home run !

"The third IAMX album, "Kingdom of Welcome Addiction" is his best album yet. I didnt think there was anyway to top "The Alternative"......but Chris Corner delivered and raised the bars once more :)
With each album it seems that IAMX matures in terms of sound, lyrics and vocal delivery. Its edgy, raw, dark, catchy, & very well produced. Its surely to send chills up your spine.
One of the years best !"
Simply Phenomenal!

"A gorgeous new release from IAMX. Thought provoking, sexual, bold, fierce, intelligent, and darkly beautiful. It captures your mind and my only wish is that it were longer than 11 tracks. If your a fan, I'm sure you won't be let down."
