The complexity of the arrangements, along with the members' massive energy and precision of execution, on this track is utterly stunning, incorporating elements of worship, hip-hop, alternative rock, gospel, and even hints of EDM into a surprisingly cohesive track. When “Hero Over My Head” burst out, I was quickly proven wrong. The brass in this track falsely prepared me to expect the following album to be a Beauty Between Part II. The album opens with the brief introduction “In Coma,” where Chad sings amongst minimal instrumentation. Unfortunately, the willingness to take so many risks can often result in missteps, a few of which are apparent on their (technically) third LP Zeal, where KK further develops the sound begun on The Beauty Between while incorporating elements from Beyond Control. Remarkably, their endeavors have wildly succeeded almost every time. Kings Kaleidoscope, however, is not afraid about such experimentation, which is evident by their unabashed risk-taking. Never content to be pinned down by any particular labels, this band is constantly exploring new territory and combining elements that most bands, whether worship-oriented or not, would view as being in juxtaposition with each other. Kings Kaleidoscope is a remarkable anomaly amongst a torrent of mediocre and subpar worship groups. Review Summary: Zeal: An album unmatched in passion and joy that will surely infect any one who gives it a listen!
