Kings newest album is a great addition to any Diamond Bangers library out there. Although it was lacking a little something from past endevours the album is wicked! For the first time he's added in a female vocalist into the mix and she blends in perfectly. Another brilliant musical story from KD. The DVD is also a nice little touch, having King in a nice laid back environment explaining the story as it unfolds track by track, and his thoughts, being that King isn't easy to get the chance to meet I loved that disk. But anyway, 5 (pointed) stars out of 5! One of my must haves!

 First Listen..no good...5th Listen, Incredible!
The first thing that struck me about this latest offering from The King was the lack of stand-out 'hook' songs, the ones that you play a dozen times over before exploring further into your standard CD. Puppet Master doesn't, at first listen, have any tunes on it that made me want to hit "back" on the CD player for a 2nd listen. And I was left disappointed. Then..while working....I popped it in again, for a 2nd listen...this time as background music. An hour later I found myself not working, just listening. As all of KD's discs are concept, this one especially requires you to go through the whole thing front to back to really "set the mood". Now on my XXth listen, I'm enjoying it much more. The closest thing to a "stand out" song would be "Blood to Walk", but it lacks the visceral intensity of his other "video-friendly" tunes... It takes some getting used to, and its pace isn't nearly as frantic or charged as other KD offerings, but given a few listens front to back, it all starts to blend, and then it really works. The addition of the female singer is not overdone and works well. The disc finished a bit on the weak side but based on the story it had to be that way, so its understandable.... Its good KD, just beware: demon-sign waving, head-banging tunes are not necessarly to be found on this one.

 Long Live the King!!
The Puppet Master kind of takes me back to the "Conspiracy","Them" days. Great story telling, as always, great guitar work. A much improvement over the disappointing House of God. A must have for any King collector.
