This time around they have reached out to an outside producer instead of Adam Dutkiewicz producing it, so it makes me wonder how much different it will sound. Brendan O’Brian, who was chosen to produce has produced for Pearl Jam, AC/DC and most notably in my opinion Mastodon’s Crack The Skye. Howard Jones stated in the Roadrunner.com announcement:

“It was time for us to step outside of our comfort zone and try something a little different with this record.  It definitely still sounds like us, but we needed to be refreshed and take things a little further.” The singer also comments on the album being the band’s second self-titled effort of its career, saying, “When we all couldn’t agree on an album title, someone suggested we just keep it self-titled and we all pretty much agreed…gives it the feeling of a fresh new beginning.”

I’m looking forward to it I guess. I haven’t listened to much KSE in awhile but I always look forward to a new album from them, especially with Brendan O’Brian producing. If it’s anything like Crack The Skye it’s sure to raise some eyebrows.
