King Missile (album)

King Missile is the sixth studio album by the experimental music band King Missile, released on April 19, 1994, by Atlantic Records.

Reception

Brian Flota of AllMusic awarded the album three out of five stars and said "the eponymous final release by the second version of King Missile features the same witty and hilarious John S. Hall lyrical and spoken word moments alongside the lackluster pop filler that padded out their previous five albums." Trouser Press said "the music is unassailable (Rick does his part with several hair-raising noise-fuzz-wah-guitar solos), but — with the exception of "The Dishwasher," an extraordinary multi-leveled evocation of the post-stress syndrome crime-fearing urbanites endure daily — the album draws close to self-parody."
