Description
Kingdom of Noise (2009) marks a bold chapter in the legacy of Welsh psychedelic rockers Man, showcasing a lineup that blends seasoned veterans with fresh energy. Released in a digipak format with a 12-page lyric booklet, the album leans into intelligent songwriting and textured arrangements rather than extended jams, offering a more introspective and structured sound.
The title track delivers a gently swinging rhythm with sparse piano flourishes, while “Speak” ventures into dreamy, melancholic reggae. “Shadow of the Hand” opens the album with lyrical depth, and “Russian Roulette” taps into the band’s psychedelic roots. It’s a record that reflects evolution—less about nostalgia, more about reinvention.
