Album Description
With an impressive string of releases behind them and worldwide record sales closing in on two million, Sweden's Millencolin are back. "Kingwood" incorporates the driving melodies of their last album, "Home From Home" and looks back to the classic punk snarl of "Pennybridge Pioneers". "They've got massive, harmonious songs...in the classic tradition of The Descendents and Dag Nasty"--Kerrang.

 WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! June 4, 2005

Man, I love these guys. Life on a Plate changed my life. When I first learned to skate, my favorite CD to skate to was Life on a Plate. It always got me pumped up like crazy. Pennybridge Pioneers changed my life. This CD was incredible, it really had so much great. Anthems of my life. Anyhow, Home from Home made me very very sad. One of my favorite bands had finally released a CD I was dissappointed in. Guess it was about time, but I was so accustommed to their previous greatness that it was a little shocking. Anyhow, to get to the matter at hand. This CD, from my first listen, is AWESOME. AWESOME. AWESOME. These guys are so freakn great. It was like getting back together with an old friend and talking about the good old times we'd shared. Playing this CD finally gave me some great new tunes to listen to and obsess over this summer. Thank you Millencolin, I should have never doubted you. When everyone turns to screamo, Millencolin expands on their sound while still staying true to their beginngings. Sweden rules, USA could learn much from you!
Great album! April 17, 2006

This cd is a great cd to start listening to milencolin. almost all of the songs on the album are hits in my book. "ray", "stalemate' And "cash or clash" are really great, but the best song would have to be "shut you out". It takes a break from all the loud,fast stuff and shows that millencolin can make great music w/o being to loud. Iwould recommend either this album or "the melancholy collection" to start you off listening to millencolin.
A step up from Home From Home but still missing something December 1, 2005

Well this was one record I was really looking forward to for 2005 besides pennywise's new album. Being the long time Millencolin fan that I am I knew I would automatically purchase it and give the cd a start-to-end listen about a dozen times but did it touch me the way Pennybrige Pioneers or Life On A Plate did? No. And a big no at that. The only reason I've given this a 4 star rating instead of 2 or 3 is because of Biftek Supernova and Simple Twist of Hate, these two songs reminding me of the older, faster and more punk millencolin.
Either way, get this album. Not necissarily the best album they've written but like i said, it's definately worth a listen.

I am into heavy music, such as RATM, Metallica and Audioslave, but ever since being hooked in by Penguins and Polar Bears on TV, me and my brother have turned into massive fans, owning all the albums except the japanese extras. Admittedly, Home From Home was a little disappointing but it's still an album i can listen to the whole way through and enjoy. THIS on the other hand, is a GREAT album.
Continuing their progression into a real punk rock band, the album has some great riffs (Birdie), clever guitarring (Novo) and the usual funny yet intelligent lyrics (Mooseman's Jukebox).
Definitely worth a listen, Millencolin are continuing to move forwards but without forgetting where they've come from, and their maturity shows with some clever and effective backing vocals.
Cheers guys, keep up the good work, can't wait for the next album!!!! Just one point, why degrade yourselves and tour with Good Charlotte?!? Oh well....
great return to form April 13, 2005

I have to start by saying I was let down by Home From Home in a big way. It just felt to me like it was lacking in quality songs. Kingwood erases those disappointments by rocking hard from start to finish with catchy-as-hell songs and Nikola's best lyrics yet. Obviously they're still Nikola's lyrics so they're going to be a bit goofy, but they're from the heart and I think they're his most personal yet (aside from his solo album maybe). There's a couple fast tunes that remind me of the good old days, but the midtempo songs are not lacking in energy either. All around it's a great effort and although I can't put it in the same class as For Monkeys or Life on a Plate (yet, anyway), it is an excellent album and I whole-heartedly recommend it.
