    King Tuff's 2018 album The Other is a melodic mix of Johnny Cash, Freddie Mercury, Jim Morrison and others. (ha) The album progressives over so many musical styles with whacked out production to boot. Absolutely fantastic, and my favorite album of 2018.

    Nothing is forced about Thomas's blend of folky Americana and electronic psychedelia. However, the album becomes a chore as Thomas's nihilistic tendencies overshadow the confusingly hopeful tone he was attempting on The Other.

    It’s a bit less frenetic than previous material, but across ten songs Thomas leaves his unmistakeable sonic signature with auteur-like precision.

    The Other sees the slacker goofball King Tuff reborn as a spiritual thinker, albeit one with an excellent groove. [Jun 2018, p.30]
